## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.304.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 required CLI source location indexes documentation and is consumed to build the CLI docs area, not to mutate agent configuration. The only reviewed telemetry path is opt-in and sends events to the resolved API context; the manifest declares no npm install-time hook.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-07T09:39:28.719Z

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 malicious attack surface was identified. The flagged agent-related location is a CLI documentation index entry; telemetry requires an explicit opt-in and posts to the resolved Lotics API context.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI; telemetry collection and upload activate only when LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized agent configuration change or concrete malicious effect was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T09:41:08.367Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI records command metadata and posts queued events to the resolved API URL with that context’s API key.

- **Rationale:** The required CLI source location indexes documentation and is consumed to build the CLI docs area, not to mutate agent configuration. The only reviewed telemetry path is opt-in and sends events to the resolved API context; the manifest declares no npm install-time hook.

- **Files touched:** dist/src/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** /v1/cli/telemetry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json lists prepublishOnly running the build; no preinstall, install or postinstall hook is declared., The flagged CLI location is a documentation index entry describing AGENTS.md, and the CLI maps documentation sources into its docs area., Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS\_TELEMETRY is set to 1. When enabled, the CLI sends events to its resolved API URL using that API context’s bearer key.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.304.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.304.0 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.
