## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 0.9.12
- **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.

The flagged process execution is part of the explicitly invoked AgentCash payment wrapper, while the doctor’s install commands are printed as guidance. No install-time data transfer, import-time action, or hidden account activity was identified; the npx use of \`agentcash@latest\` is a supply-chain risk but matches the tool’s stated purpose.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:21:32.295Z

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 identified; the package provides payment preflight and explicitly invoked payment tooling.

- **Trigger:** The safe-fetch CLI’s payment path, after the user invokes it with a URL and preflight approves.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or action was found. The npx invocation carries the usual risk of running the third-party CLI and its dependencies in the caller’s environment.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:22:15.238Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** That path runs \`npx agentcash@latest\` with the request arguments and caller environment; the doctor command only prints install suggestions.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process execution is part of the explicitly invoked AgentCash payment wrapper, while the doctor’s install commands are printed as guidance. No install-time data transfer, import-time action, or hidden account activity was identified; the npx use of \`agentcash@latest\` is a supply-chain risk but matches the tool’s stated purpose.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares \`prepublishOnly\` release verification; no install hook is present., The safe-fetch wrapper invokes \`npx agentcash@latest\` only on its payment path, and passes the caller’s environment to that process., The safe-fetch CLI runs only when invoked directly; importing the library does not trigger its CLI., The doctor command prints suggested install commands rather than running them.

- **Evidence against:** The explicitly invoked safe-fetch payment path installs or runs \`agentcash@latest\` through npx and inherits the caller’s environment, creating a third-party supply-chain exposure.
