@marsapi/cli@0.0.161
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 15h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source shows default-on runtime telemetry sent to the package's own service, with an opt-out but no telemetry disclosure found in the inspected README. The destination and use of the user's Mars API key fit the package's purpose, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Automatically during ordinary CLI command execution; telemetry is enabled unless MARS_AI_TELEMETRY is set to 0, false, or off.
Impact
The gateway receives operational command and error details without a documented disclosure found in the inspected README.
Mechanism
The CLI batches command events, including error text and caller-supplied details, and posts them to the configured gateway using the configured Mars API key.
AI rationale
The source shows default-on runtime telemetry sent to the package's own service, with an opt-out but no telemetry disclosure found in the inspected README. The destination and use of the user's Mars API key fit the package's purpose, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled with MARS_AI_TELEMETRY=0, false, or off.
- Telemetry events include command, step, status, error text, and caller-supplied detail fields.
- The CLI records command start events and flushes telemetry during normal command execution.
Evidence against
- The package describes itself as a CLI for configuring coding tools with Mars AI.
- Telemetry is sent to the package's Mars AI gateway and uses the configured Mars API key.
- Error text is masked for common secret formats and limited to 2,000 characters.
