## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.1.0-rc.89
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no install lifecycle. The indicated agent-config code only prints setup instructions for an explicit mcp install command and does not write foreign agent files.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-27T15:53:58.248Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-27T15:55:37.591Z
- **Download time:** 510 ms
- **Static scan time:** 3553 ms
- **AI review time:** 95279 ms
- **Total time:** 99343 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack surface was established. The flagged agent helper only formats configuration instructions. The user-invoked mcp install command prints that text and does not mutate agent config files.

- **Trigger:** A person runs the runlot binary, including the mcp install subcommand.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, credential theft, or remote payload execution was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T15:55:37.591Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** installText builds path and JSON display strings, and mcp install writes them to stdout.

- **Rationale:** The package is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no install lifecycle. The indicated agent-config code only prints setup instructions for an explicit mcp install command and does not write foreign agent files.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the runlot CLI bin and only build, test, and typecheck scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency., The flagged agent helper returns display strings for Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop config paths and a suggested MCP JSON snippet., runlot mcp install validates the client name, prints that text with console.log, and returns without writing those agent files.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle can spawn processes, write project and local config files, and send crash reports to Sentry after a user runs the CLI., Those behaviors come from explicit commands or crash handling, not from an npm install hook.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.89.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.89 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
