Meetless CLI (mla): governed change-control and knowledge for AI coding agents.

AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a Meetless AI-agent governance CLI with explicit user-command wiring for Claude Code hooks/MCP/skills and authenticated Meetless API access, not install-time mutation.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User runs mla commands such as init, wire, activate, mcp, doctor, login, or uninstall.

Impact

User-commanded local Claude Code integration and Meetless service communication; no credential harvesting, destructive behavior, remote payload execution, or unconsented npm lifecycle control-surface hijack found.

Mechanism

explicit CLI setup and authenticated product API calls

Rationale

Risky primitives are package-aligned and user-invoked: Meetless setup writes Meetless-owned Claude Code integration files and contacts Meetless endpoints, with no npm lifecycle execution. Static inspection found no concrete exfiltration, stealth persistence, destructive behavior, remote payload execution, or unconsented install-time AI-agent control hijack.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks; only bin maps mla to dist/cli.js.
README.md documents explicit user commands: login, activate, doctor, uninstall; npm install only installs the command.
dist/lib/wire.js writes Meetless-owned Claude hooks, skills, scout agents, and mcpServers.meetless only via runWire/init/rewire.
dist/commands/activate.js writes non-secret .meetless.json and may bootstrap an installed session-start hook only after user activation.
dist/lib/config.js defaults to control.meetless.ai/intel.meetless.ai/app.meetless.ai and stores CLI auth config at 0600.
dist/connectors/claude-code/plugin-detect.js dynamic subprocess use is local `claude plugin list --json` detection for mla@meetless ownership.
