AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe bundle documents its anonymous usage reporting, provides a disable option, and sends usage events to the package’s own endpoint. The flagged API keys are configured for selected provider runs; the reviewed excerpts do not show them being sent to an unrelated host.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
CLI startup may queue an app-open usage event; provider keys are used when the selected provider runs.
Impact
No attack identified from the reviewed source.
Mechanism
Usage events are sent to the package’s telemetry service. Provider keys are mapped to the selected provider’s environment.
AI rationale
The bundle documents its anonymous usage reporting, provides a disable option, and sends usage events to the package’s own endpoint. The flagged API keys are configured for selected provider runs; the reviewed excerpts do not show them being sent to an unrelated host.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The CLI describes usage reporting as anonymous, explains that it is on unless disabled, and points to privacy details.
- Startup reporting records an app-open event with OS, architecture, and first-run status; command reports are limited to once per day.
- Usage events are posted to the package’s own telemetry endpoint.
- Provider API keys are configured for the selected provider process; the source describes them as locally stored and kept out of git.
Evidence against
- CLI startup can queue usage reporting automatically, and reporting defaults to enabled when no setting is present.
- The bundle contains shell install commands for third-party agent tools, but these are represented as explicit install options rather than invoked during import.
