@telora/daemon@0.22.0
Agent orchestration daemon for Telora - spawns and manages Claude Code instances
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis package presents a real agent-extension and self-update capability that warrants a warning. The source does not establish malicious install-time behavior, credential theft, or an opaque lifecycle self-dependency chain.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs telora-daemon connect with a Codex harness, or runs the daemon with automatic updates enabled.
Impact
Telora commands and MCP tooling can be made available to future agent sessions; configured hooks can run external Telora binaries during Claude events.
Mechanism
Global agent configuration and hook registration, plus global self-update.
AI rationale
This package presents a real agent-extension and self-update capability that warrants a warning. The source does not establish malicious install-time behavior, credential theft, or an opaque lifecycle self-dependency chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit connect command can add Telora instructions and an MCP server to the operator's global Codex control files.
- When a separate telora-ai binary is already on PATH, connect adds command hooks to the user's Claude settings.
- The running daemon can automatically run a global npm install of a newer package version.
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepublishOnly lifecycle hook; registry installation does not execute package code.
- The agent-control writes are reached through the user-invoked connect command, not an install hook.
- The inspected network request redeems the token supplied to connect; no source-confirmed credential harvesting or secret exfiltration was found.
