@agentvault/agentvault@0.23.62
End-to-end encrypted messaging for AI agents: connects an agent to its owner, rooms and other agents on AgentVault.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically sends runtime usage and conversation metadata to its own service after connection, with no disclosure or opt-out found in the inspected source. This fits warning-only telemetry rather than malicious exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The connected agent receives its hub identity; telemetry then flushes automatically every 30 seconds.
Impact
The service receives runtime usage and conversation metadata without an apparent disclosure or opt-out in the inspected package source.
Mechanism
The package batches spans containing agent and hub identifiers, model and token usage, and tool invocation metadata, then posts them to the telemetry ingest endpoint.
AI rationale
The package automatically sends runtime usage and conversation metadata to its own service after connection, with no disclosure or opt-out found in the inspected source. This fits warning-only telemetry rather than malicious exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 85.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- After the connected account receives a hub identity, the package creates a telemetry reporter and starts automatic 30-second flushing.
- The reporter posts buffered spans to the AgentVault telemetry ingest endpoint, including hub and agent identifiers.
- Tool telemetry includes tool names, outcomes, durations, and conversation identifiers; LLM telemetry includes model and token usage.
- The default API host is api.agentvault.chat, the package’s own service.
Evidence against
- The observed tool telemetry records metadata rather than tool inputs or outputs.
- The package’s main purpose is encrypted AgentVault messaging, and telemetry is sent to its own backend using the device JWT.
