@agentvox/host@0.1.43
AgentVox host daemon — runs on machines you want to control hands-free via the AgentVox voice app.
AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source does not support the scanner’s malicious verdict. The lifecycle hook is a targeted dependency repair, the flagged CLI location concerns local history directories, and the agent integration is part of host-managed Claude launches.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Package installation runs the permission repair; launching a Claude agent through the host activates the board integration; running VOX activates its updater.
Impact
No concrete harmful effect or unrelated persistent agent configuration change was established.
Mechanism
The helper adjusts node-pty file permissions. The board bridge creates a session-specific MCP configuration and passes it to Claude; VOX checks for updates to this package through npm.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest maps the host and VOX commands to their entrypoints and runs the targeted helper on postinstall.
- The postinstall helper changes permissions only on local node-pty spawn-helper files when they lack execute permission.
- The required CLI location maps directories to local Claude project history folders.
- When the host launches Claude, the board bridge adds a session-specific MCP configuration and launch arguments; it adds the board tool only under the shown permission checks.
- VOX’s updater uses the package’s own npm identity and invokes the package installer for an update.
