Cotal mesh CLI: up, join, watch, console, spawn, mint, channels, history, ext.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hooks, and the reviewed import path registers commands without running them. Agent-skill reconciliation and feedback submission are command-triggered and consistent with this CLI's purpose.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User invokes setup, setup --skills, or feedback.
Impact
No automatic credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or unrequested agent-control change identified.
Mechanism
Setup reconciles bundled skills; feedback sends the submitted report to the configured Cotal intake.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hooks, and the reviewed import path registers commands without running them. Agent-skill reconciliation and feedback submission are command-triggered and consistent with this CLI's purpose.
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 no install lifecycle hooks; its scripts are development and test commands.
- Importing the main entry registers CLI commands and exports the runner; it does not invoke a command.
- The skill installation runs through the explicit setup command, and the --skills option invokes a dedicated skills-only flow.
- Skill reconciliation writes Cotal's bundled SKILL.md files and tracks them in a manifest; it preserves divergent user edits in backups.
- Feedback submission is an explicit command, with its destination selected from the Cotal intake URL or a user-provided override.
