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. Source inspection found no confirmed malicious behavior. The agent-related location is a documentation registry entry, and the flagged telemetry path is opt-in and targets the configured API. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T14:26:20.416Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T14:27:42.563Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 6751 ms - **AI review time:** 74621 ms - **Total time:** 82147 ms 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 attack was identified in the inspected CLI and SDK entrypoints. - **Trigger:** Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; authenticated commands may flush a backlog of at least five events. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established; the inspected behavior is opt-in telemetry and ordinary service authentication. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T14:27:42.563Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Enabled telemetry sends CLI metadata to the configured API, which defaults to api.lotics.ai. SDK requests send the supplied API key to that configured service. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no confirmed malicious behavior. The agent-related location is a documentation registry entry, and the flagged telemetry path is opt-in and targets the configured API. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json routes the CLI and SDK to their built entrypoints; its prepublishOnly script runs the build., The required agent-integration location registers AGENTS.md as a documentation source; it does not configure or install an agent extension., Telemetry collection and installation require LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1., When enabled, telemetry records CLI session and command metadata and flushes only after at least five events to the configured API; the default API is api.lotics.ai., SDK requests send the caller's API key to the configured API base URL as a bearer credential. - **Evidence against:** The inspected source does not substantiate host fingerprint exfiltration, an unofficial credential redirect, or command-output exfiltration., The credentialed SDK request uses its configured service base URL; telemetry is opt-in and uses that same configured API target. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.312.21. - Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.312.21 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
