BotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged process execution and persistence paths are tied to explicit update or staging-pool operations, while the routine update check only fetches npm package metadata. Credential-bearing wait requests target the configured BotBuddy relay; no unrelated credential destination or malicious behavior was identified.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
CLI commands; staging-pool setup requires an explicit install command.
Impact
No unrelated credential transfer, concealed execution, or unauthorized persistence was found in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The CLI checks npm metadata, sends wait credentials to the configured BotBuddy relay, and installs its staging-pool job only through the explicit install path.
AI rationale
The flagged process execution and persistence paths are tied to explicit update or staging-pool operations, while the routine update check only fetches npm package metadata. Credential-bearing wait requests target the configured BotBuddy relay; no unrelated credential destination or malicious behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest describes a BotBuddy multi-agent workflow CLI and declares its command-line entry points; it has no lifecycle scripts.
- The update check performs a throttled lookup of npm’s latest package metadata and caches the result.
- Staging-pool installation is an explicit command that checks for a human session and requires tenant registration.
- Wait credentials are sent to the configured relay URL, which defaults to api.bot-buddy.ai.
