Is assistant-stream safe?
- Node.js dynamic code execution
What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.
assistant-stream is an npm package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: dynamic code execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (1)
The code turns strings into live code at runtime (eval / new Function / exec).
return runCachedRedisScript(() => client.evalsha(sha, keyCount, ...args), () => client.eval(script, keyCount, ...args));
() => client.eval(script, keyCount, ...args),
Why it matters: If those strings aren't fixed and trusted, they become a way to run arbitrary code.
Fix: Avoid evaluating dynamically constructed code; if unavoidable, ensure the input is a trusted constant and never derived from external data.
Maintain assistant-stream?
The free Claude Code plugin scans each npm, PyPI or MCP package with this report's open-source engine before the install command runs. It runs on your machine and needs no account.
