CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a CLI with no install hook, and the reviewed telemetry behavior requires an explicit connect command. That command discloses that content is enabled and sends telemetry to the package vendor’s Tangle Intelligence service.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the tangle connect command to configure an agent.
Impact
The configured agent may send prompt content to Tangle Intelligence, as disclosed by the command’s content-on description.
Mechanism
The command configures telemetry export to Tangle Intelligence and, for Codex, writes an OpenTelemetry block to the user’s Codex configuration.
AI rationale
The package is a CLI with no install hook, and the reviewed telemetry behavior requires an explicit connect command. That command discloses that content is enabled and sends telemetry to the package vendor’s Tangle Intelligence service.
Evidence
~/.codex/config.toml
Network endpoints1
intelligence.tangle.tools
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI through bin/tangle.js and dist/index.mjs, with no install lifecycle script.
- The connect command describes its purpose as connecting a local coding agent’s telemetry to Tangle Intelligence and states that content is on.
- The default telemetry endpoint is Tangle’s intelligence.tangle.tools service.
- Codex telemetry configuration is written to ~/.codex/config.toml only through the explicit connect command; the command also offers --no-write.
- The Codex configuration enables prompt logging, consistent with the command’s disclosed content-on behavior.
Evidence against
- Connecting telemetry can transmit agent prompts to Tangle, but the package exposes this as an explicit setup command.
- The package’s npm scripts are build, development, type checking, verification, and tests; none is an install hook.
