AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the inspected credential handling is part of the explicitly documented, user-invoked gateway setup. The CLI writes the provided key to Claude Code's settings; the source does not establish covert collection or another concrete attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the api-anthropic CLI with an API key.
Impact
Claude Code requests use the configured gateway and key; the inspected source describes this as the package's setup behavior.
Mechanism
The CLI sets Claude Code's base URL to the gateway and writes the supplied key to ~/.claude/settings.json for Claude Code to use.
AI rationale
The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the inspected credential handling is part of the explicitly documented, user-invoked gateway setup. The CLI writes the provided key to Claude Code's settings; the source does not establish covert collection or another concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes bin.js as a CLI and describes its gateway setup purpose.
- The CLI reads the key from an argument or environment variable and rejects missing or invalid values.
- The CLI uses the named gateway by default, with an environment override, and stores the gateway URL and supplied key in Claude Code settings.
- The README says the command configures Claude Code to use that gateway with the supplied API key.
