motifcode@0.3.4
Unofficial coding agent harness built for Motif-3: a Claude Code-style terminal session over the hosted endpoint
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential flow is the expected authentication for a hosted coding-agent CLI: the user’s dedicated Motif key is sent to the configured model endpoint with requests. Login prompts before collecting and saving a key, and no unrelated credential collection or exfiltration was identified.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs the motif or motifcode CLI and starts a model session or login.
Impact
The configured model endpoint receives the user’s intended model request and session context.
Mechanism
The CLI sends its configured MOTIF_API_KEY as a bearer token with model requests. Login prompts for an Infron API key, verifies it against the endpoint, and saves it locally.
AI rationale
The flagged credential flow is the expected authentication for a hosted coding-agent CLI: the user’s dedicated Motif key is sent to the configured model endpoint with requests. Login prompts before collecting and saving a key, and no unrelated credential collection or exfiltration was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies a CLI whose bin points to dist/motif.js.
- The client uses a dedicated MOTIF_API_KEY and a documented default model endpoint.
- The HTTP transport sends that key as a bearer token with model requests to the configured endpoint.
- The login flow asks the user to enter an Infron API key, checks it against the endpoint, then saves it.
- The CLI removes MOTIF_API_KEY from the environment before agent commands run.
- The CLI invokes main when the executable starts; the network activity is part of the requested model session.
