Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe suspicious signals resolve to opt-in telemetry, a documentation index entry, and ordinary CLI deployment helpers. The default telemetry endpoint is the package's Lotics API, and no concrete attack behavior was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry activates only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1; deployment helpers run through user-invoked CLI commands.
Impact
No confirmed malicious impact or unconsented agent configuration change was found.
Mechanism
Telemetry stores limited command metadata locally and may later post it with a bearer key to the configured API. The inspected agent hint only indexes AGENTS.md as CLI documentation.
AI rationale
The suspicious signals resolve to opt-in telemetry, a documentation index entry, and ordinary CLI deployment helpers. The default telemetry endpoint is the package's Lotics API, and no concrete attack behavior was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes the CLI bundle and client library; its only lifecycle hook is a prepublish build.
- The flagged agent integration location is a documentation index entry pointing to AGENTS.md, not an agent configuration write.
- Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1.
- Telemetry records command metadata, error text, and argument hashes and shapes rather than argument values.
- When enabled, telemetry sends events with a bearer key to the configured API; the default API is api.lotics.ai.
- The CLI invokes telemetry setup at startup, but the setup function exits immediately when telemetry is disabled.
Evidence against
- Telemetry can send an API key to the configured API endpoint when explicitly enabled; the endpoint can be changed through LOTICS_API_URL.
- The CLI includes child-process helpers for user-invoked app deployment and build operations.
