Work Agent CLI - AI-native command line interface

AI Security Review

scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall hook and binary launcher stay within this CLI: cache cleanup under its own config directory and a local spawn of the matching platform binary. Static inspection found no exfiltration, remote execution, self-install chain, or unconsented agent control-surface write.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

npm postinstall runs install.js; the workctl command runs only when the user invokes the bin.

Impact

The only automatic effect is loss of the workctl command cache. No credential export, remote payload, or foreign agent-config write was found.

Mechanism

install.js removes the package config cache directory. The launcher looks up an optional platform package or vendor binary and spawns it locally without adding network calls.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes only the workctl bin and a postinstall that runs node install.js. Optional dependencies are same-version platform packages, not a self-dependency on @accio-ai/cli.
install.js resolves HOME or WORKCTL_CONFIG_DIR and recursively deletes only that directory's cache subdirectory.
bin/workctl.js resolves a local platform or vendor binary and spawns it with the user's arguments and inherited stdio, after deleting WORKCTL_MCP_URL, WORKCTL_CATALOG_FIXTURE, and WORKCTL_RUNTIME_CONFIG. No network, eval, or credential send is present.

Evidence against

Postinstall deletes the package cache directory without an extra user prompt, but the path is limited to the CLI's own config cache and does not write agent control files.
