## 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.92
- **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.

runlot is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no npm lifecycle hooks. The agent-config hint only prints setup text, and the session token is used only against the configured package API.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-27T19:13:48.609Z

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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. The hinted agent path only formats config-location text for an explicit mcp install command, and API credentials stay bound to the configured Runlot API origin.

- **Trigger:** Explicit user invocation of the runlot CLI, including runlot mcp install.

- **Impact:** No unconsented agent-config write, credential forwarding to an unrelated host, or lifecycle mutation of the consumer project was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T19:15:31.622Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** mcp install prints a JSON snippet and a path string. Requests attach the stored or environment token as a Bearer header to the configured API base URL.

- **Rationale:** runlot is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no npm lifecycle hooks. The agent-config hint only prints setup text, and the session token is used only against the configured package API.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes only the user-invoked bin runlot at dist/index.js, and its scripts are build, test, and typecheck with no install lifecycle hook., configPath returns display strings for Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop config locations and does not write those files., The explicit runlot mcp install command prints installText for a named client and then returns., The API origin comes from RUNLOT\_API\_URL, saved credentials, or https://dash.runlot.io, and the session token is sent only as a Bearer header on fetch requests to that base URL.

- **Evidence against:** Crash reporting posts a scrubbed stack and command name to a Sentry ingest host unless RUNLOT\_TELEMETRY or DO\_NOT\_TRACK disables it.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.92.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.92 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
