⚠ Under reviewBotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no npm lifecycle scripts, and the inspected daemon installer is exposed as an explicit CLI operation. Both shipped native executables remain behaviorally unresolved, so the package cannot be cleared or classified as malicious from this inspection.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes the daemon install command, which activates the installed service.
Impact
The effect of the persistent daemon cannot be determined from available analysis.
Mechanism
The installer selects and installs a platform-specific native executable; its runtime behavior could not be inspected.
AI rationale
The package has no npm lifecycle scripts, and the inspected daemon installer is exposed as an explicit CLI operation. Both shipped native executables remain behaviorally unresolved, so the package cannot be cleared or classified as malicious from this inspection.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 95.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json exposes CLI binaries and declares no npm lifecycle scripts.
- The release manifest ships executable macOS and Linux daemon binaries.
- Offline analysis could not identify either binary's behavior.
- Source exposes a daemon install command that activates a persistent system service.
Evidence against
- The daemon install path is an explicit CLI command; no automatic npm install hook was found.
