## 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:** 0.313.4
- **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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 package sources. The cited agent-related location belongs to a documentation catalog, and the inspected telemetry and client requests follow explicit configuration.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T04:15:58.524Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Telemetry sends CLI events to the configured API. The client sends its caller-provided API key to its caller-provided API base URL.

- **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.

### 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 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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.313.4.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.313.4 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.
