Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source does not support the scanner’s suspicious verdict: the agent hit is documentation metadata, telemetry is opt-in and package-aligned, and the manifest has no install hook. No concrete malicious behavior was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry activates only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1; project scaffolding runs through app creation.
Impact
No malicious impact was established; telemetry is opt-in and the agent instructions are generated within scaffolded projects.
Mechanism
Enabled telemetry sends structured CLI diagnostics to the Lotics API base. No credential redirection or global agent configuration mutation was found.
AI rationale
Inspected source does not support the scanner’s suspicious verdict: the agent hit is documentation metadata, telemetry is opt-in and package-aligned, and the manifest has no install hook. No concrete malicious behavior was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The agent marker is a documentation index entry for AGENTS.md; app scaffolding includes that file among generated project files.
- The manifest defines prepublishOnly as a build command and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Telemetry setup returns unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1.
- Enabled telemetry records command metadata, argument hashes and shapes, and failed-command error text; it does not serialize raw arguments.
- Telemetry posts to the Lotics API base, which defaults to https://api.lotics.ai and can be explicitly overridden with LOTICS_API_URL.
- The sign-in request sends the entered email to the configured Lotics login endpoint, and authenticated requests use the supplied key as a Bearer credential.
