Is autogen-core safe?

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing

Notable — review in context (capabilities are not malware):

Python dynamic code execution

autogen-core is an AI python_package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 1 risky construct are reported for review. It can: dynamic code execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

HIGHPython dynamic code executionST-DYN-PY

The code turns strings into live code at runtime (eval / new Function / exec).

src/autogen_core/tools/_function_tool.py:159-159

exec(import_code, exec_globals)

src/autogen_core/tools/_function_tool.py:171-171

exec(config.source_code, exec_globals)

Why it matters: If those strings aren't fixed and trusted, they become a way to run arbitrary code.

Fix: Avoid evaluating dynamically constructed code; if unavoidable, ensure the input is a trusted constant and never derived from external data.
