Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source ties the scanner's agent configuration hint to a read-only documentation catalog and gates telemetry behind an explicit opt-in. Credential-bearing client requests target the API base URL supplied by the caller, so the reviewed behavior does not establish malicious credential forwarding or another concrete attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry activates only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; client requests occur when callers invoke the exported API.
Impact
No concrete unauthorized data transfer, agent configuration change, or other attack impact was established.
Mechanism
Telemetry sends CLI events to the configured API. The client sends its caller-provided API key to its caller-provided API base URL.
AI rationale
The inspected source ties the scanner's agent configuration hint to a read-only documentation catalog and gates telemetry behind an explicit opt-in. Credential-bearing client requests target the API base URL supplied by the caller, so the reviewed behavior does not establish malicious credential forwarding or another concrete attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json routes the CLI to dist/src/cli.js and the library export to dist/src/client.js; the listed lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs a build.
- The indicated AGENTS.md location is a documentation catalog entry; docsCommand reads the catalog for CLI documentation rather than changing agent configuration.
- CLI telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1, and the entrypoint passes through that gate before telemetry setup.
- Telemetry posts to the configured API's telemetry endpoint; source inspection found no unrelated fixed telemetry recipient.
- The client takes its API key and API URL from caller options and uses that base URL for requests, sending the key as a bearer credential to that configured API.
Evidence against
- The package does contain network requests and credential-bearing API calls, but inspected code ties them to the configured service API and gates telemetry behind explicit opt-in.
