Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install-time attack behavior or unrelated credential recipient. The flagged telemetry path is explicitly opt-in and sends CLI event data to its configured API service.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry collection and upload require LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1.
Impact
No unrelated recipient, covert credential transfer, or unconsented install-time behavior was established; opted-in failure reporting may include stderr content.
Mechanism
When enabled, the CLI records command metadata and a bounded stderr tail on failure, then posts events to the configured API base URL.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install-time attack behavior or unrelated credential recipient. The flagged telemetry path is explicitly opt-in and sends CLI event data to its configured API service.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes the CLI bundle and a separate client library.
- The only manifest lifecycle hook is a prepublish build hook; there is no install hook.
- Telemetry is disabled unless the user sets an explicit environment opt-in, and its setup returns when telemetry is off.
- Telemetry records command metadata and may include a bounded stderr tail for failed commands.
- When enabled, telemetry posts to the configured API base URL's telemetry endpoint.
Evidence against
- Opted-in telemetry can send failure stderr content with command metadata.
