Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The reviewed package has no lifecycle scripts, and no attack was confirmed in the inspected source. A direct dependency is dynamically started by the mcp command, but its source was not available for review, so a clean verdict is not supported. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T06:37:02.216Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T06:38:26.720Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 107 ms - **AI review time:** 84136 ms - **Total time:** 84504 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 is confirmed in the reviewed source. The behavior of a direct MCP server dependency remains unassessed. - **Trigger:** A user runs the mcp command. - **Impact:** The dependency’s runtime effects cannot be determined from the inspected package files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T06:38:26.720Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command imports @spendctl/mcp-server and starts its stdio server; that dependency’s source is absent from this snapshot. - **Rationale:** The reviewed package has no lifecycle scripts, and no attack was confirmed in the inspected source. A direct dependency is dynamically started by the mcp command, but its source was not available for review, so a clean verdict is not supported. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package manifest declares no lifecycle scripts., The manifest includes a direct dependency on @spendctl/mcp-server., The CLI maps the mcp command to a handler that dynamically imports that dependency and starts its stdio server., The dependency’s implementation is absent from the inspected snapshot, so its runtime behavior could not be assessed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to spendctl@0.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of spendctl@0.4.1 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
