What the reviewer found

A Cedar-policy-writing assistant for the protect-mcp gatekeeper. Every flagged string (sudo, .aws/credentials, curl|sh, the AWS/GCP metadata IP, rm -rf) appears inside a `forbid` rule example that blocks that exact behavior. Purely defensive policy-authoring guidance.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
