## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.4.5
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package declares no install-time hook beyond prepublishOnly testing. Its scheduled tasks and OpenClaw setup are part of the explicit init flow, while Claude credentials go to Anthropic and disclosed aggregate run reports can be disabled.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%

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 was identified. The reviewed persistence and integration setup are user-triggered features, and credential and run-report flows match the package’s usage-collection purpose.

- **Trigger:** The user runs tokenusage init to configure integrations or hourly sync; usage checks occur during sync.

- **Impact:** Expected collection of token usage and disclosed aggregate run metrics; no unauthorized credential transfer or unrelated persistence was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T15:07:32.923Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI can register a scheduled task, install a selected OpenClaw integration, query Claude usage at Anthropic, and send aggregate run records to the configured backend.

- **Rationale:** The package declares no install-time hook beyond prepublishOnly testing. Its scheduled tasks and OpenClaw setup are part of the explicit init flow, while Claude credentials go to Anthropic and disclosed aggregate run reports can be disabled.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage, Configured backend function path: token-usage-sync-report

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs tests; no install hook is declared., The hourly scheduled sync is registered by the init command and can be skipped with --no-task., OpenClaw setup in init runs only when the openclaw integration is selected., Claude OAuth usage requests send the token to api.anthropic.com, its own provider., The README describes aggregate sync reports and says they contain no paths, titles or message bodies., Run reporting can be disabled with the persisted runReport setting.

- **Evidence against:** The package registers hourly background tasks and supports OpenClaw integration setup., Run reporting is enabled by default and includes aggregate usage counters.
