tako-cli@0.3.45
Tako CLI — unified launcher for AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Gemini, Grok Build) with multi-agent session management
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime analytics by default and can identify the user through a provider email while also reporting region and device metadata. This is suspicious telemetry; the inspected code does not establish credential theft or another malicious action.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
CLI startup, unless telemetryEnabled is set to false in the saved config.
Impact
The package operator can associate CLI activity and device metadata with a provider email. The inspected flow does not show other service credentials or project contents being sent in this telemetry.
Mechanism
The CLI sends analytics events to OpenPanel at https://op.shiroha.tech/api. Its identity can fall back to a provider email, and its profile includes email and inferred region along with locale, version, platform, and architecture.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Runtime telemetry is enabled unless the saved config explicitly sets telemetryEnabled to false.
- CLI startup emits a cli_started analytics event.
- Analytics can use a provider email as the user identity and sends email, region, locale, version, platform, and architecture.
- The analytics client targets https://op.shiroha.tech/api.
- The manifest’s prepublishOnly hook runs the build command.
Evidence against
- The package is a CLI for launching AI coding tools; its manifest exposes dist/index.js as the tako command.
- Claude OAuth usage requests use Anthropic’s own https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage endpoint.
