FlyDocs AI CLI — install, setup, and manage FlyDocs projects
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource establishes explicit-user project agent configuration mutation and transcript-derived usage reporting, creating a real extension risk. It does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented npm lifecycle attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs `flydocs init` or installs/updates its project template.
Impact
Project agent behavior and managed configuration can be modified; FlyDocs credentials are used for declared relay API operations.
Mechanism
Explicit project-scoped Claude/Cursor extension setup with hook execution and consent-gated usage reporting.
AI rationale
Source establishes explicit-user project agent configuration mutation and transcript-derived usage reporting, creating a real extension risk. It does not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented npm lifecycle attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dist/cli.js init copies template .claude/.cursor hooks, commands, agents, and settings into a chosen project.
- template/.claude/settings.json registers command hooks and grants Bash permission for FlyDocs Python scripts.
- template/.claude/hooks/usage-capture.py launches `flydocs usage report` on agent Stop with a transcript path.
- dist/cli.js parses agent transcripts for usage records and posts consent-gated counters to the FlyDocs relay.
- Template scripts read FLYDOCS_API_KEY/.env credentials for authenticated FlyDocs API requests.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- Agent configuration is installed only through the user-invoked `flydocs init` command.
- Hook and API behavior is package-aligned workflow, formatting, issue, and usage functionality.
- No source evidence of arbitrary remote payload execution, secret forwarding to an unrelated host, or stealth persistence.
