CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a Tangle Sandbox CLI with no install lifecycle hook. The flagged router credential flow belongs to its explicit supervision functionality and targets the Tangle router; the source reviewed did not show unrelated credential exfiltration or concealed automatic execution.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; router access occurs as part of an explicit supervision command.
Impact
Expected CLI and service behavior; no evidence of unrelated credential collection, exfiltration, or hidden install-time actions.
Mechanism
The supervisor uses the Tangle router and passes its Tangle API key for the requested service operation. The package also stores profile credentials and configuration locally.
AI rationale
The package is a Tangle Sandbox CLI with no install lifecycle hook. The flagged router credential flow belongs to its explicit supervision functionality and targets the Tangle router; the source reviewed did not show unrelated credential exfiltration or concealed automatic execution.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies this as the Tangle Sandbox CLI and exposes its `tangle` command; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI’s supervisor path uses `https://router.tangle.tools/v1` by default and passes the Tangle API key to that router for supervision.
- The bundled entrypoint parses command-line arguments to run the CLI.
Evidence against
- The manifest pins `cli-bridge` to a specific GitHub archive commit; the unusual tarball dependency is not evidence of malicious behavior by itself.
- The credential file handling is for the CLI’s own Tangle profiles and local configuration.
