@tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.52
CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe explicit agent connection command installs hooks that transmit tool inputs and outputs, but its setup flow does not clearly disclose that content collection. This warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry; the reviewed source does not show an install-time attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs `tangle intelligence connect`; generated hooks then run on agent events.
Impact
Prompts and tool activity may be disclosed to Tangle Intelligence without the connection flow clearly explaining that content capture.
Mechanism
Hooks extract tool commands, inputs, outputs, and errors from event payloads and send them as OTLP traces with the configured API key.
AI rationale
The explicit agent connection command installs hooks that transmit tool inputs and outputs, but its setup flow does not clearly disclose that content collection. This warrants a warning for undisclosed runtime telemetry; the reviewed source does not show an install-time attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The generated agent hooks collect tool commands, inputs, outputs, and errors from hook payloads.
- The hook sends collected trace data to Tangle Intelligence using an API key.
- The `intelligence connect` command installs hooks for connected local agent CLIs, with Codex as the default selection.
- This connection flow does not disclose the content captured by those hooks or provide a content-level opt-out.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The telemetry setup requires an explicit CLI command; it is not triggered by package installation.
