BotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed network and process behavior serves the CLI's coordination, wait, update, and Playwright functions. The flagged launchd persistence requires an explicit staging-pool install command, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle scripts.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Network requests occur during explicit wait or update workflows; launchd setup requires the staging-pool install command.
Impact
No unauthorized collection, unrelated credential destination, or unrequested persistence was identified.
Mechanism
Wait sends its session credential to the configured BotBuddy relay. Run delivery checks for pending command-run context, and staging-pool installation is an explicit command.
AI rationale
The reviewed network and process behavior serves the CLI's coordination, wait, update, and Playwright functions. The flagged launchd persistence requires an explicit staging-pool install command, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle scripts.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes CLI entry points and ends with dependency declarations; it has no lifecycle scripts.
- Wait requests send a session token to the BotBuddy relay or a relay URL supplied by the user.
- The launcher starts delivery only when command-run data exists, and delivery can be disabled with BOTBUDDY_RUN_DELIVERY=off.
- The staging-pool code is reached through an explicit CLI command and describes installation as a human action.
Evidence against
- The CLI uses child processes and network requests as part of its coordination and Playwright functions.
- The staging-pool command can install a launchd job and write pool configuration when explicitly invoked.
