Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no malicious behavior. The manifest’s only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly build, while the reported agent location is part of an embedded documentation index and telemetry is gated by an explicit environment opt-in.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; project packaging occurs only when a user invokes the app toolchain.
Impact
No confirmed malicious effect or unconsented agent configuration change was established.
Mechanism
When enabled, telemetry batches CLI invocation metadata to the configured Lotics API. The app toolchain archives the selected project directory while excluding common generated and dependency directories.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no malicious behavior. The manifest’s only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly build, while the reported agent location is part of an embedded documentation index and telemetry is gated by an explicit environment opt-in.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and a library export; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.
- The reported agent configuration location is an embedded CLI documentation index entry, not a package-managed agent configuration write.
- Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1; when enabled, it records invocation metadata and sends it to the CLI API endpoint.
- The CLI packages a project directory for its app toolchain when invoked, excluding node_modules, dist, TypeScript build info, and .git.
