Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The default sync flow sends runtime telemetry that the README does not disclose, making the package suspicious under the telemetry rules. The payload is limited to a machine hash and runtime metadata, and users can opt out, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:03:57.782Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:05:49.208Z - **Download time:** 760 ms - **Static scan time:** 7410 ms - **AI review time:** 103255 ms - **Total time:** 111426 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Undisclosed, default runtime telemetry sends a limited anonymous heartbeat during sync. - **Trigger:** A sync reaches its heartbeat call; the request is throttled to at most once per day and can be disabled by configuration or environment variables. - **Impact:** The service can count active installs and their runtime platforms. The README does not disclose this heartbeat, so it presents a warning-level privacy concern. - **Evidence paths:** src/commands/sync.js, src/lib/telemetry.js, src/lib/function-url.js, src/lib/runtime-config.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:05:49.208Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI POSTs a machine-ID hash, version, platform, and shell to its tokenusage-telemetry function. - **Rationale:** The default sync flow sends runtime telemetry that the README does not disclose, making the package suspicious under the telemetry rules. The payload is limited to a machine hash and runtime metadata, and users can opt out, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** ~/.tokenusage/config.json, ~/.tokenusage/telemetry.heartbeat.json, ~/.tokenusage/queue.jsonl - **Network endpoints:** https://token-usage.baiwumm.com/api/functions/tokenusage-telemetry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Sync invokes a heartbeat; its comment says it is throttled to one network request per day., The heartbeat payload contains a hashed machine ID, package version, platform, and shell., It POSTs that payload to the tokenusage-telemetry function on the package’s default service., The README describes uploads as aggregated usage and session metadata but does not disclose this heartbeat. - **Evidence against:** The heartbeat omits raw machine IDs, credentials, token counts, usernames, and paths., Users can disable telemetry with environment variables or telemetry:false in config., The package’s stated purpose includes syncing usage data to its service., Claude OAuth tokens are sent to Anthropic’s own usage endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tokenusage-cli@0.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of tokenusage-cli@0.1.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
