## 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.96
- **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.

Static inspection found no lifecycle execution or automatic agent configuration write. The flagged MCP configuration behavior is user-invoked guidance, with origin-bound stored credentials.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-29T02:03:58.429Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-29T02:07:03.789Z
- **Download time:** 511 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4805 ms
- **AI review time:** 180043 ms
- **Total time:** 185360 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The agent-related command is explicitly invoked and prints configuration guidance only.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the CLI MCP command.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time mutation, credential export, or agent-control hijack was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T02:07:03.789Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The install subcommand emits text; the server uses the selected API origin and an available token only when started.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no lifecycle execution or automatic agent configuration write. The flagged MCP configuration behavior is user-invoked guidance, with origin-bound stored credentials.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Package metadata exposes a CLI binary and contains no install lifecycle hook., The flagged agent-integration code only identifies configuration-file locations., The MCP install subcommand prints setup text and returns without writing configuration., Stored credentials are selected by matching API origin, and the MCP server requires an explicit invocation and token.

## Affected versions and remediation
