BotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed network and credential flows serve the package’s update and BotBuddy relay functions. Persistence is behind an explicit human-only install command, and the manifest declares no lifecycle scripts.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Normal CLI invocation, explicit wait use, or explicit staging-pool installation.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the inspected behavior.
Mechanism
The updater fetches the package version from npm; wait requests authenticate to the configured BotBuddy relay; staging-pool persistence is created only by its guarded install command.
AI rationale
The reviewed network and credential flows serve the package’s update and BotBuddy relay functions. Persistence is behind an explicit human-only install command, and the manifest declares no lifecycle scripts.

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 exposes CLI commands and two explicit library exports, with no lifecycle scripts declared.
- The updater checks only the package’s latest version at the npm registry and caches the result.
- The updater runs through the command dispatcher; it is not an install hook.
- Staging-pool installation is an explicit command guarded as human-only before network or file operations.
- Wait requests use the BotBuddy relay by default and send the supplied agent token to its event-stream endpoint.
- Run-delivery retries terminal updates for prior runs and starts on demand when the CLI is invoked.
