CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged execution, profile editing and download paths belong to tool-management or update workflows rather than hidden install or import-time behavior. Telemetry is disclosed in the wizard, can be disabled, and the inspected payload contains usage events rather than API keys.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Telemetry runs during CLI commands; tool installation and environment changes are user-requested workflows; self-update runs on eligible global CLI invocations.
Impact
No unauthorized credential collection, account action, persistence or other attack behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The package reports disclosed usage events to its service, can install coding tools when requested, and can update its own global installation from configured registries.
AI rationale
The flagged execution, profile editing and download paths belong to tool-management or update workflows rather than hidden install or import-time behavior. Telemetry is disclosed in the wizard, can be disabled, and the inspected payload contains usage events rather than API keys.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and lists build, development and test scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- The library entry point exports APIs without calling them during import.
- The wizard discloses that usage statistics containing commands and error messages are sent to VibeAPI and explains how to disable telemetry.
- Telemetry sends command, status, duration and error fields to the package service; the service request uses the configured base URL.
- Startup self-updates are limited to global installs, skip npx and selected flags, and announce the update before installing the package from configured registries.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is enabled by default, though the wizard discloses it and provides an opt-out.
- A global CLI invocation may automatically install and re-execute a newer release of this package.
