It registers this MCP server and lifecycle command hooks that capture and inject agent-session context. - **Trigger:** npm global install outside CI on a host with a supported agent directory - **Impact:** Persistent execution of package commands in Claude Code, Devin, Cursor, or Codex agent lifecycles; command/session content is captured locally. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, skills/tdai-memory/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T16:40:24.174Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall-launched foreign AI-agent config and hook mutation - **Attack narrative:** The install-time script detects existing AI-agent installations and silently launches \`setup\` during global npm installation. Setup writes MCP server registrations and command hooks into foreign Claude, Devin, Cursor, and Codex configuration files. Those hooks execute this package at agent lifecycle events and capture command failures and session data into its database, creating unconsented persistence across agent sessions. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete postinstall mutation of broad third-party AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the blocking policy. The optional OpenAI-compatible extraction path does not mitigate the unconsented lifecycle takeover. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.config/devin/mcp\_config.json, ~/.config/devin/config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.local/share/tdai-memory-mcp/memory.db - **Network endpoints:** https://api.openai.com/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.js activates on global install when agent directories exist., dist/index.js setup writes MCP entries and command hooks into Claude, Devin, Cursor, and Codex configs., Installed hooks capture tool errors and session material into a local memory database without user setup approval. - **Evidence against:** No fixed credential-exfiltration endpoint found; LLM requests default to api.openai.com and require a supplied key., The observed network client is limited to an explicit extraction feature. ## Public findings ### 1.
