## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.9.7
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The postinstall hook can install bundled agent and skill files into a user’s GitHub Copilot configuration directory when installation has no interactive terminal.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious

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:** The postinstall hook can install bundled agent and skill files into a user’s GitHub Copilot configuration directory when installation has no interactive terminal.

- **Trigger:** npm package installation without an interactive terminal and without a harness override.

- **Impact:** Package-provided agent and skill instructions become available to that harness; the inspected source does not establish credential exposure or a malicious control hijack.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, src/harnesses.mjs, src/install-user-assets.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:55:25.179Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook defaults to GitHub Copilot and writes or updates package-owned files in the selected harness directory.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall lifecycle automatically installs package-owned agent assets for GitHub Copilot in non-interactive environments. The source supports a warning for first-party agent extension lifecycle risk, but does not establish a concrete attack warranting a publish block.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, src/harnesses.mjs, src/install-user-assets.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically after installation., When no interactive terminal is available and no harness override is supplied, postinstall selects GitHub Copilot and installs bundled agents and skills., The installer writes those package-owned files under the selected harness directory, creating or updating files there., This is a first-party agent setup with a real install-time effect, so it warrants a warning; the inspected excerpts do not establish a malicious payload or broader control hijack.

- **Evidence against:** The assets are collected from this package’s own .github/agents and .github/skills directories., The code shown installs the selected bundled assets and does not show credential collection or network transmission.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to sap-ai-dev-toolkit@0.9.7.

- Review the evidence and your use of sap-ai-dev-toolkit@0.9.7 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.
