Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged process execution supports opening a URL or explicit agent setup, while API credentials are sent to the configured Trackly origin over HTTPS. MCP analytics are disclosed with opt-outs, and no install-time behavior or hidden data collection was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:52:56.731Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:53:56.479Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 997 ms - **AI review time:** 58489 ms - **Total time:** 59748 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:** No attack was identified; network use, credential handling, and agent setup match the CLI’s stated purpose. - **Trigger:** Users invoke CLI commands; agent setup requires \`trackly agent setup\`, and MCP analytics run when the MCP server is used. - **Impact:** No malicious impact identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:53:56.479Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** API requests go to the configured Trackly base URL. Analytics are disclosed and opt-out capable. Agent setup installs the bundled skill and registers Trackly with the selected client. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution supports opening a URL or explicit agent setup, while API credentials are sent to the configured Trackly origin over HTTPS. MCP analytics are disclosed with opt-outs, and no install-time behavior or hidden data collection was identified. - **Network endpoints:** https://closeai.mba ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and lists development or audit scripts, with no install lifecycle hook., Importing the CLI does not start it; main runs only when bin/trackly is invoked directly., Trackly requests are restricted to the configured base URL, and credential requests require HTTPS or localhost., Agent skill and MCP setup runs only through the explicit \`trackly agent setup\` command., The README discloses default MCP analytics, describes excluded data, and provides account and environment opt-outs. - **Evidence against:** Default-on runtime MCP analytics merit review, but are disclosed and have opt-outs., Agent setup writes the package’s skill and registers its MCP server, but requires an explicit command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to trackly-cli@0.20.1. - Review the evidence and your use of trackly-cli@0.20.1 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.
