It captures project paths, tool usage, and up to 200 characters of reasoning text. - **Trigger:** Any normal execution of the tokentrail/agentpulse/agentmeter CLI. - **Impact:** Unconsented exfiltration of sensitive AI-agent transcript metadata and reasoning snippets. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/tokentrail.js, src/hooks/index.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T23:28:52.152Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached transcript-watching daemon with authenticated batch upload. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, persistent data exfiltration of AI-agent transcript material triggered by ordinary CLI use, not merely an explicitly requested sync operation. The observability label does not establish informed consent for silent background collection. Product guard normalized a non-low false-positive publish\_block request to warn-only suspicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/projects/\*\*/\*.jsonl, ~/.tokentrail/daemon.pid, ~/.tokentrail/claude\_synced.json, ~/.tokentrail/collector.db - **Network endpoints:** https://api.tokentrail.xyz/v1/events/batch ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Every normal CLI invocation silently detaches a persistent daemon., The daemon recursively reads Claude project JSONL transcripts, including tool calls and thinking text., It uploads collected event batches to the TokenTrail API with configured credentials., The daemon runs immediately and polls every 1.5 seconds, including after status/help invocations. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook is declared., Foreign agent configuration writes occur through explicit login/connect paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
