BotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged process execution and persistence are tied to explicit CLI operations, and the reviewed credential flow sends tokens to the configured BotBuddy relay. Automatic update checks fetch only package version metadata from npm.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Update checks run during eligible CLI commands; wait networking occurs when a wait is requested; staging-pool persistence requires an explicit install command.
Impact
No unauthorized data transfer or persistence was identified.
Mechanism
Update checks fetch version metadata from npm. Wait sends its token to the configured relay. The staging-pool install command creates a launch agent for the selected tenant’s staging pool.
AI rationale
The flagged process execution and persistence are tied to explicit CLI operations, and the reviewed credential flow sends tokens to the configured BotBuddy relay. Automatic update checks fetch only package version metadata from npm.

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 exposes CLI binaries and subpath exports for its reporter and telemetry modules.
- Update checks request only the package’s latest version from the npm registry.
- The staging-pool launch-agent setup is behind an explicit install command and checks that the caller is human-operated before network or file activity.
- Wait requests send their token to the configured relay URL, which defaults to BotBuddy’s API.
Evidence against
- The reviewed source shows no malicious credential transfer or unrelated collector.
- The flagged persistence supports the package’s staging-session-pool feature and is installed through an explicit command.
