BotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 14h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged process execution and persistence support explicit CLI features. Credential use is directed to the BotBuddy relay, while the update check retrieves only the npm version.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Normal CLI commands perform a version check; relay requests occur during wait operations; staging-pool persistence requires an explicit install command.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer, unrelated collection, or automatic persistence was identified.
Mechanism
The version check retrieves a version from npm, wait requests use a BotBuddy session token with the BotBuddy relay, and the staging-pool command checks for a human-run context before installing its job.
AI rationale
The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged process execution and persistence support explicit CLI features. Credential use is directed to the BotBuddy relay, while the update check retrieves only the npm version.

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 declares CLI entry points and no lifecycle scripts.
- The update check reads only the latest version from the npm registry.
- The wait flow sends its session token to the configured BotBuddy relay, defaulting to api.bot-buddy.ai.
- Telemetry code redacts credential-like values and removes raw output and environment fields.
- Staging-pool installation is an explicit command that checks for a human-run context before network or file operations.
Evidence against
- The package includes process execution and native daemon binaries.
- The staging-pool installer writes files and configures a launchd job, but this occurs through its explicit, human-gated install command.
