@taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.1-20261012222432x8a86506
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged entrypoint contains ordinary Taskless authentication and telemetry flows; the apparent payload execution match is example rule text, not runtime execution. No install hook or unconsented agent configuration mutation was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the CLI; authentication and agent setup require their respective commands.
Impact
No concrete malicious effect was established.
Mechanism
The login flow exchanges a device code for a Taskless token and saves it locally. Setup offers agent locations and asks for confirmation before writing package-owned files.
AI rationale
The flagged entrypoint contains ordinary Taskless authentication and telemetry flows; the apparent payload execution match is example rule text, not runtime execution. No install hook or unconsented agent configuration mutation was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json lists build and development scripts, with no install lifecycle hook; dist/index.js is the runtime entrypoint.
- dist/index.js defaults authentication to the Taskless CLI service and uses TASKLESS_API_URL or saved configuration when set.
- The login flow requests a device code and polls for a token at that authentication endpoint; it saves the returned token locally after authorization.
- Agent directories are detected for setup, which runs through an explicit init flow with a location choice and confirmation before writing files.
- Telemetry is sent to the Taskless service and can be disabled with TASKLESS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED or DO_NOT_TRACK.

Previous Version Dangerous Delta
This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.
