@marsapi/cli@0.0.142
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime telemetry by default and I found no telemetry disclosure in the README. The inspected event fields are usage and runtime metadata, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than clear malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI with a command; telemetry is enabled unless explicitly disabled through the environment.
Impact
Reports usage and runtime metadata to the service without an evident consent prompt or user-facing telemetry disclosure.
Mechanism
Collects command event metadata and sends it to the configured Mars gateway telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime telemetry by default and I found no telemetry disclosure in the README. The inspected event fields are usage and runtime metadata, so this is a warning-level telemetry concern rather than clear malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default; it is disabled only when MARS_AI_TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
- CLI runs record command events and selected flags; flags containing “key” are excluded, and event fields include timing, status, errors, and optional details.
- Events are sent to the /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry endpoint.
Evidence against
- package.json declares no lifecycle scripts.
- Telemetry uses the configured Mars gateway and API key, and the event code shown does not include positional command arguments.
