apiblaze@0.20.13
APIblaze CLI — Chat with your APIs, Manage your API keys, users and groups with the APIblaze serverless proxy
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit-user-command agent integration and proxy capability, not covert lifecycle malware. It merits a warning because it changes a global agent control surface and can proxy authenticated traffic.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs `apichat --install-mcp codex` or chooses the interactive MCP-install prompt; sidecar runs when imported and registered.
Impact
Adds a remote MCP capability to Codex and can route application requests, including supplied API-key headers, through APIblaze infrastructure.
Mechanism
Explicit agent-config installation and approved-origin fetch proxying.
AI rationale
This is an explicit-user-command agent integration and proxy capability, not covert lifecycle malware. It merits a warning because it changes a global agent control surface and can proxy authenticated traffic.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- `apichat --install-mcp codex` can add an MCP server to the user's Codex config.
- The installer rewrites matching APIblaze MCP blocks in the global Codex configuration.
- The sidecar replaces global fetch and forwards approved request origins through its proxy.
Evidence against
- No install, postinstall, or preinstall lifecycle hook is present.
- MCP installation is gated by an explicit CLI option or an interactive choice.
- The installer refuses to replace a same-named non-APIblaze Codex entry.
