CLI tool for managing AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, AtomCode, Grok Build) with one unified config
AI Security Review
scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged process execution, downloads, and file writes support the package’s stated CLI functions and are invoked through tool-management operations. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, excludes API keys according to the privacy notice, and can be disabled.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry runs during ordinary CLI commands; tool installation and persistent environment changes are invoked through CLI operations.
Impact
No harmful impact identified. The telemetry notice describes the collected usage data and provides an opt-out; setup changes support requested tool configuration.
Mechanism
The CLI sends disclosed usage events to the configured VibeAPI service. Tool setup uses shell commands and writes configuration or environment files for supported tools.
AI rationale
The flagged process execution, downloads, and file writes support the package’s stated CLI functions and are invoked through tool-management operations. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, excludes API keys according to the privacy notice, and can be disabled.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and its scripts list build, development, and maintenance tasks; no install lifecycle hook is declared.
- The CLI gathers command names, statuses, durations, and error messages; command arguments that look like keys are excluded.
- The English privacy notice says usage statistics are sent to VibeAPI, API keys are not included, and telemetry can be disabled with an environment variable.
- Telemetry posts events to the VibeAPI telemetry endpoint using the configured service base URL.
Evidence against
- Telemetry is enabled by default when the CLI runs, though it is disclosed and has an opt-out.
- The package includes shell and file operations for installing tools and configuring assistant environments; these serve the CLI’s stated purpose.
