AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThere are no install-time hooks, and the reviewed credential flow sends session tokens to the configured Instabox API. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, limited to usage metadata, and can be disabled.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The CLI runs when a user invokes it; onboarding and optional migration steps require explicit commands.
Impact

Mechanism
It contacts the configured Instabox API for CLI operations and sends disclosed usage events to PostHog, with opt-out controls.
AI rationale
