Is @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk safe?

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing
Notable — review in context (capabilities are not malware):
  • Node.js network egress

MEDIUMNode.js network egressST-NET-NODE

The component makes outbound network requests.

* Version or range to fetch (e.g. "1.4.0", "^1.4"); defaults to the latest dist-tag

* Version or range to fetch (e.g. "1.4.0", "^1.4"); defaults to the latest dist-tag

Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.

Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.

LOWMCP tool surface detectedST-MCP-DETECTED

An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.

Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.

Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
