@datadog/ai-setup-cli@2.0.33
Interactive tool for Datadog setup
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe new local MCP server supports workspace setup and applies workspace and sensitive-file boundaries. Credential and network references are consistent with Datadog authentication, and environment scanning returns metadata rather than values.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the CLI and uses its setup or agent tools.
Impact
The reviewed source shows no automatic credential exfiltration or unrelated account action.
Mechanism
The local MCP server provides workspace-scoped file tools and setup-related Datadog API tools. Authentication is routed to the configured Datadog gateway.
AI rationale
The new local MCP server supports workspace setup and applies workspace and sensitive-file boundaries. Credential and network references are consistent with Datadog authentication, and environment scanning returns metadata rather than values.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package is an interactive Datadog setup CLI with normal CLI and library entry points.
- The new local MCP tools restrict file reads and edits to the workspace and exclude Git metadata and sensitive dotfiles.
- Environment-file scanning reports variable names and whether values are present; it does not return the values.
- Datadog API credentials are used to create a Datadog client for setup tools, and the CLI routes agent authentication through the Datadog gateway.
