03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED

Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.

Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.

Security tierTier 1, Contained.No network access and no credentials. Runs entirely on its own. What tiers mean

Install-time hooks & dependencies3 findings

HIGHpackage.json — npm 'postinstall' lifecycle hook: install hook runs a command that fetches from the network, pipes to a shell, or runs an encoded/inline-interpreter command: the arbitrary-code-on-install supply-chain vector.

INFOpackage.json — npm 'prepare' lifecycle hook: install hook runs a build at install (recognized toolchain), standard for a compiled package. Recorded for completeness, not a flag.

INFOpackage.json — High dependency count (47). A breadth hint: a larger transitive surface to trust. Not a defect by itself.

Runs code / shell commands99 findings

MEDIUMsetup-claude-server.js:8 — Code-execution surface: a node child_process call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

Prompt-injection passthrough4 findings

INFOsrc/server.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

INFOsrc/ui/file-preview/src/app.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

INFOsrc/tools/edit.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

INFOsrc/remote-device/device.ts — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

Permission scope breadth3 findings

INFOsetup-claude-server.js — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOtrack-installation.js — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

INFOsrc/tools/filesystem.ts — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
