Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source shows no install-time attack behavior, and the agent-related hint resolves to a documentation catalog entry. The suspicious telemetry and process-launch signals correspond to explicit opt-in telemetry and CLI build operations.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry transmission requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1.
Impact
No malicious effect was confirmed; opted-in telemetry can disclose CLI usage metadata to the configured API service.
Mechanism
When enabled, the CLI records invocation metadata and posts events to its configured API base. No credential forwarding to an unrelated recipient or agent configuration mutation was established.
AI rationale
The source shows no install-time attack behavior, and the agent-related hint resolves to a documentation catalog entry. The suspicious telemetry and process-launch signals correspond to explicit opt-in telemetry and CLI build operations.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest defines a CLI and SDK entrypoint and a prepublish-only build hook; it shows no install lifecycle hook.
- The flagged agent integration location is a documentation catalog entry, not an agent configuration write.
- Telemetry collection is gated on the explicit LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1 setting.
- Opted-in telemetry records CLI session and invocation metadata such as command, flags, exit status, duration, and version.
- The telemetry sender posts to the configured API base, which defaults to https://api.lotics.ai, at the CLI telemetry endpoint.
