Create Zuplo API with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe static credential and execution hints are not evidence of malware: there is no install lifecycle and no credential exfiltration path. Explicit agent configuration and remote skill installation remain a meaningful capability risk, so a warning is appropriate.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
Run the CLI and select agents interactively or pass --agents with one or more agents.
Impact
The generated project may trust a Zuplo MCP server, marketplace, and downloaded skill content.
Mechanism
Writes project agent and MCP configuration, then downloads selected skills.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI entrypoint that runs its bundled bootstrap code.
- The CLI offers an explicit agent-selection option and an interactive multi-select prompt.
- When agents are selected, it writes MCP and agent instruction files into the newly created project.
- Claude selection enables project MCP servers and adds a Zuplo GitHub marketplace; non-Claude selections download skills from GitHub.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- Non-interactive mode defaults to no agent setup, and the agent files are only created after user selection.
- The telemetry sender posts invocation metadata to PostHog and no credential harvesting or credential send sink was found.
