Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source resolves the scanner signals to package-aligned authentication, optional diagnostics, explicit upgrades, and app tooling. The indicated agent integration location is a documentation entry, and no concrete malicious behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Explicit CLI commands activate authentication, deployment, and upgrade; telemetry additionally requires an environment opt-in.
Impact
No covert credential export, foreign agent configuration mutation, or malicious install behavior was established.
Mechanism
The CLI authenticates to its configured API, builds user-selected app projects, and optionally records diagnostic events.
AI rationale
The inspected source resolves the scanner signals to package-aligned authentication, optional diagnostics, explicit upgrades, and app tooling. The indicated agent integration location is a documentation entry, and no concrete malicious behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has only a publishing build hook, no registry-install hooks or runtime self-dependency.
- The flagged agent location in dist/src/cli.js indexes AGENTS.md as CLI documentation; it does not configure an agent.
- Telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; inspected events contain command metadata and failure diagnostics.
- Authentication defaults to api.lotics.ai, with an explicit endpoint override; the client sends requests to its configured API.
- App dependency installation disables lifecycle scripts; inspected process launches support app builds and packaging.
- Shell-based self-upgrade is activated by the explicit upgrade command; the automatic update check only retrieves version metadata.
