@marsapi/cli@0.0.156
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package sends runtime command telemetry by default, and I found no disclosure in the inspected package files. The collection targets its configured API service and does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI; telemetry is on unless TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
Impact
Command activity and masked error details are reported without documented disclosure found in the inspected package files.
Mechanism
The CLI queues command events and posts them to the telemetry endpoint using the configured API base URL.
AI rationale
The package sends runtime command telemetry by default, and I found no disclosure in the inspected package files. The collection targets its configured API service and does not establish credential theft or unrelated data collection, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 85.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with the TELEMETRY environment variable.
- The CLI records command names, steps, status, durations, filtered flag arguments, and masked error text.
- Recorded events are sent to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry through the configured API base URL.
Evidence against
- The telemetry payload includes package version, platform, OS release, architecture, and Node.js version, which are ordinary telemetry fields.
- The sender uses the configured API base URL and may attach the API key for that service.
- The package import entry only re-exports modules; command telemetry is triggered when the CLI runs.
