@marsapi/cli@0.0.147
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI automatically sends runtime telemetry to the vendor's gateway, and the README does not disclose it. The payload is primarily operational metadata and offers an environment-variable opt-out, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a malicious credential-exfiltration finding.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI.
Impact
The vendor receives install ID and runtime metadata, plus command event status and potentially error or detail text.
Mechanism
The CLI queues command events and posts them to the configured Mars AI gateway; telemetry can be disabled with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
AI rationale
The CLI automatically sends runtime telemetry to the vendor's gateway, and the README does not disclose it. The payload is primarily operational metadata and offers an environment-variable opt-out, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than a malicious credential-exfiltration finding.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled by default; TELEMETRY=0, false, or off disables it.
- The CLI automatically sends command events with status, duration, and possible error or detail fields to its telemetry endpoint.
- The telemetry payload includes a persistent install ID and platform and version metadata.
Evidence against
- The endpoint is the package's configured Mars AI gateway.
- The telemetry code masks home paths and common key patterns in error text.
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle scripts.
