Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install-time execution hook, and source inspection shows the reported telemetry is gated by an explicit environment setting. Credentials and telemetry are sent through the configured Lotics API client; no separate malicious recipient or attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; standard API calls occur when users invoke CLI commands that need the service.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized collection, credential redirection, or command-output exfiltration was established.
Mechanism
Telemetry is spooled and posted to the configured API's telemetry route. API credentials are used in requests to that configured API.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install-time execution hook, and source inspection shows the reported telemetry is gated by an explicit environment setting. Credentials and telemetry are sent through the configured Lotics API client; no separate malicious recipient or attack behavior was found.
Network endpoints1
api.lotics.ai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 97.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines only a prepublishOnly build hook; no install-time lifecycle hook is present.
- The CLI records telemetry only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to "1".
- The default API destination is api.lotics.ai; LOTICS_API_URL is an explicit override.
- Telemetry posts to the selected API's telemetry route, and ordinary client requests use that same configured API destination.
