⚠ Under review

Gu CLI — the gu terminal plus the local worker that runs agent / OCR / PDF / embedding jobs on your Mac (Ollama / MLX / OpenAI-compatible).

AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected credential handling appears tied to configured coding backends and the package service. The declared openai dependency remained unresolved, so the source review cannot establish that the full runtime dependency path is safe; manual review is appropriate.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Using the CLI may load its declared runtime dependencies.

Impact

No specific harmful effect is confirmed; dependency behavior remains unverified.

Mechanism

The available inspection did not resolve the openai dependency archive, so its source behavior could not be assessed.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The package has a postinstall hook that runs install-path.mjs.
The CLI retrieves a coding API key through a worker-authenticated endpoint for a configured backend.
The openai dependency is declared, but its source could not be resolved for inspection.
The inspected agent configuration locations identify settings paths and read configuration; they do not establish an install-time mutation.

Evidence against

Token renewal uses the configured or hosted API base, consistent with the package’s CLI service behavior.
The postinstall entrypoint guard runs PATH setup only when install-path.mjs is invoked directly.
