@whalent/agent@0.3.435
Stable wrapper for Whalent Agent core runtime
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook, and the required entrypoint shows command-triggered runtime behavior. Obfuscation and agent capabilities warrant caution but do not establish an active attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the whalent command.
Impact
No unconsented install-time mutation, credential exfiltration, or destructive behavior was confirmed.
Mechanism
The CLI starts or supervises its core runtime and may check for a wrapper update during that command execution.
AI rationale
The inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook, and the required entrypoint shows command-triggered runtime behavior. Obfuscation and agent capabilities warrant caution but do not establish an active attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 74.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.cjs as the whalent command entrypoint.
- The entrypoint's update logic is reached from its CLI main function and prevents a repeated update attempt within the restarted process.
Evidence against
- The command entrypoint is heavily obfuscated, which reduces source transparency.
- The package is an agent runtime and invokes child processes as part of its command functionality.
