@trayai/helix-cli@0.115.0
Helix CLI — helix init, helix dev, helix auth
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI performs undisclosed runtime analytics that includes project and workspace identifiers, which makes this a telemetry concern under the review rules. The inspected code sends to the Tray service with its access token and does not establish the flagged unrelated credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running instrumented CLI commands such as `helix init`; the event is reported after command success or failure when a Tray access token is available.
Impact
Tray receives identifying project and workspace metadata without disclosure found in the inspected README. No unrelated credential theft or command-output exfiltration was established.
Mechanism
The CLI builds a bounded analytics event containing project and workspace identifiers plus runtime details, then posts it to `private/v1/helix/analytics` using the resolved Tray token. `DO_NOT_TRACK` can disable reporting.
AI rationale
The CLI performs undisclosed runtime analytics that includes project and workspace identifiers, which makes this a telemetry concern under the review rules. The inspected code sends to the Tray service with its access token and does not establish the flagged unrelated credential redirection or command-output exfiltration.
Evidence
dist/cli.js
Network endpoints1
Tray service base URL derived from the configured region, path `private/v1/helix/analytics`
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI sends analytics to the relative endpoint `private/v1/helix/analytics` using an access token resolved from the Tray environment and a region-derived service base URL.
- The analytics payload includes workspace ID, project ID and project name alongside CLI, runtime and machine details; `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` or `true` disables sending.
- The `helix init` command wraps its work in the analytics reporter, which sends success or failure events.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the package exposes a CLI and a separate library entry point.
- Analytics runs in response to CLI commands and sends a schema-limited event payload, not command output or discovered credentials.
- The request uses the resolved Tray service URL and Tray access token; no fixed unrelated credential destination was identified.
