Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes its CLI through bin/instabox.mjs and declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- Onboarding telemetry records the outcome and basic runtime and platform fields, using the Instabox account user ID; its code excludes names, paths, and messages.
- The CLI discloses usage telemetry and provides INSTABOX_NO_TELEMETRY and DO_NOT_TRACK opt-outs.
- The package's network calls and bundled CLI support its stated cloud-box CLI purpose; no unrelated credential collection or harmful default action was identified.
