Work Agent CLI - AI-native command line interface

AI Security Review

scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall cache deletion stays inside the package's own workctl config directory, and the launcher is a user-invoked wrapper for a matching platform optional dependency. Inspected source shows no exfiltration, remote code, persistence, or unconsented foreign agent control-surface writes.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

npm postinstall runs install.js; the binary spawn runs only when the user executes the workctl command.

Impact

The only install effect is loss of the package's local command cache. No credential collection, network send, foreign agent-config write, or remote payload execution is present in the inspected source.

Mechanism

install.js removes configDir/cache under the workctl config directory. bin/workctl.js locates an optional platform binary and spawns it with inherited stdio and the caller's arguments after dropping three WORKCTL environment variables.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes the workctl bin and a postinstall that runs node install.js, and lists same-version optional platform packages rather than a runtime dependency on itself.
postinstall only deletes the cache subdirectory of ~/.workctl or WORKCTL_CONFIG_DIR and then prints a completion message.
The workctl entrypoint resolves a same-name platform package binary or a local vendor fallback and, only when the user runs the command, spawns it with the user's arguments after removing three WORKCTL environment variables.

Evidence against

The native platform binary is not present in this package, so its behavior cannot be inspected here.
Postinstall unconditionally removes that package cache directory when it exists.
