Canary CLI — authenticate and onboard your repo to Canary from the terminal.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a first-party agent-extension setup capability activated by login rather than package installation. It warrants a warning under the agent integration policy, while the inspected source does not support a malicious block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the Canary login command with agent skills and hooks enabled, which is the default.
Impact
This can add Canary-controlled agent hooks or skills after login; no covert execution at npm installation or confirmed data theft was found.
Mechanism
The login flow invokes hook setup, and agent-skill setup writes a Canary skill into detected agent directories unless disabled.
AI rationale
This is a first-party agent-extension setup capability activated by login rather than package installation. It warrants a warning under the agent integration policy, while the inspected source does not support a malicious block.
Evidence
dist/canary.js.claude.agents.codex
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes only a CLI entrypoint and has no install, preinstall, or postinstall script.
- The login flow automatically invokes hook setup unless the user disables hooks.
- The CLI writes or refreshes a Canary skill in detected agent configuration directories.
Evidence against
- No secret collection, unrelated network recipient, remote code loading, or destructive action was identified in the inspected paths.
