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 & dependencies2 findings

HIGHpackage.json — npm 'prepare' lifecycle hook: install hook runs an opaque or unrecognized command at install time, before any code review: the arbitrary-code-on-install supply-chain vector.

INFOpackage.json — High dependency count (68). A breadth hint: a larger transitive surface to trust. Not a defect by itself.

Runs code / shell commands3 findings

MEDIUMworker-configuration.d.ts:2235 — Code-execution surface: a exec/spawn call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

MEDIUMworker-configuration.d.ts:4670 — Code-execution surface: a exec/spawn call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

MEDIUMapp/chat/components/markdown.tsx:21 — Code-execution surface: a exec/spawn call site. The server can run commands on the host; review what it executes and whether any input reaches it.

Permission scope breadthno flags

How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.

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.
