Security Guidelines for 200Model8CLI

πŸ” API Key Security

βœ… Safe Practices

  • Never commit API keys to version control
  • Use environment variables or secure config files
  • Store keys in ~/.200model8cli/config.yaml (automatically gitignored)
  • Use the CLI commands to set keys: 200model8cli set-api-key YOUR_KEY

❌ Avoid These Mistakes

  • Don't hardcode API keys in source code
  • Don't share config files containing keys
  • Don't commit .env files with keys
  • Don't paste keys in public forums or issues

πŸ›‘οΈ Built-in Security Features

Input Validation

  • All user inputs are validated before processing
  • File operations are restricted to safe extensions
  • Command execution has safety checks

Sandboxing

  • File operations are limited to current directory by default
  • Destructive operations require confirmation
  • Automatic backups before file modifications

Rate Limiting

  • API calls are rate-limited to prevent abuse
  • Timeout protection for long-running operations
  • Retry logic with exponential backoff

🚨 Security Considerations

File Operations

  • The CLI can read, write, and execute files
  • Always review file operations before confirming
  • Use in trusted directories only

Web Access

  • The CLI can make web requests and open browsers
  • URLs are validated against allowed domains
  • Be cautious with untrusted websites

System Commands

  • Limited system command execution capability
  • Blocked dangerous commands (rm -rf, format, etc.)
  • Always review system operations

πŸ”’ Configuration Security

Config File Location

~/.200model8cli/config.yaml  # Automatically protected by .gitignore

Environment Variables

# Recommended approach
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-groq-key-here"

Secure Key Storage

  • Keys are encrypted at rest when possible
  • Config files have restricted permissions
  • Temporary files are cleaned up automatically

🚫 Blocked Operations

The CLI automatically blocks these dangerous patterns:

  • rm -rf (recursive deletion)
  • del /f (force deletion)
  • format (disk formatting)
  • fdisk (disk partitioning)
  • Fork bombs and similar

πŸ“‹ Security Checklist

Before using 200Model8CLI:

  • Set API keys using secure methods
  • Review file permissions in working directory
  • Understand what operations you're authorizing
  • Keep the CLI updated to latest version
  • Use in trusted environments only

πŸ› Reporting Security Issues

If you find security vulnerabilities:

  1. DO NOT create public GitHub issues
  2. Email security concerns privately
  3. Include detailed reproduction steps
  4. Allow time for fixes before disclosure

πŸ”„ Regular Security Maintenance

  • Rotate API keys periodically
  • Review and clean up old config files
  • Update to latest CLI version regularly
  • Monitor API usage for anomalies

Remember: This CLI has powerful capabilities. Use responsibly and always verify operations before execution.
