The package documents per-call telemetry and hashes tool arguments, but the implementation also transmits error detail that the disclosure does not list, with no documented way to disable telemetry. This is a disclosure and control gap, not evidence of credential theft or malicious exfiltration.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user invokes an MCP tool through the stdio server.

Impact

Frase receives identifying tool-use telemetry and up to 300 characters of error detail; the README does not describe that detail or an opt-out.

Mechanism

The wrapper posts tool name, argument hash and size, result status, timing, and error fields to the configured API endpoint.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Every stdio tool dispatch is wrapped in audit telemetry that posts to the configured API.
The audit payload includes error_detail, beyond the README’s listed error type.
The README discloses per-call telemetry but does not mention collecting error details or provide an opt-out.

Evidence against

The README says arguments are hashed rather than sent in readable form.
Telemetry is sent to the configured Frase API and is triggered by tool calls.
