🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SUSPICIOUS

The package shows no direct signs of malicious activity based on network, shell, or obfuscation risks. However, the high metadata risk due to a lack of maintainer history and immediate release without a GitHub repository raises concerns about its legitimacy and origin.

  • High metadata risk
  • Immediate release without a GitHub repository
Per-check LLM notes
  • Network: No network calls detected, which is unusual but not necessarily indicative of malicious activity for a monitoring tool like CloudWatch; further investigation into functionality is recommended.
  • Shell: No shell execution detected, which aligns with the expected behavior for a non-executable Python library.
  • Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk of malicious intent.
  • Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating safe handling of secrets and credentials.
  • Metadata: High risk due to lack of maintainer history and immediate release without a GitHub repository.
