Interactive tool for Datadog setup
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged Git helper only reads and normalizes the origin URL for a requested setup template variable. The inspected network endpoints are Datadog onboarding services, with an explicit environment override for development.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user invokes the CLI or calls the setup library.
Impact
No malicious impact was identified in the inspected source.
Mechanism
The setup flow uses Datadog API and MCP endpoints, and may read the Git origin when a product requests that template variable.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged Git helper only reads and normalizes the origin URL for a requested setup template variable. The inspected network endpoints are Datadog onboarding services, with an explicit environment override for development.

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 points to the CLI and library entry points and lists no install lifecycle scripts.
- The new Git helper reads the origin URL and returns its normalized form; it does not transmit it.
- The Git origin is resolved only when requested as a template variable during the setup flow.
- The default LLM gateway is the Datadog site endpoint, with an explicit environment override for development.
Evidence against
- The CLI uses network access and credentials as part of its Datadog setup purpose.
- The setup flow can read the repository origin to fill a requested template variable.
