Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest’s prepublishOnly hook runs a build, and the runtime telemetry path is gated by an explicit environment setting. The reviewed authentication and telemetry requests target the configured Lotics API base, which defaults to api.lotics.ai; the suspicious scanner labels did not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running the CLI; telemetry additionally requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized collection, credential redirection, or install-time attack surface was established.
Mechanism
API requests use the configured API base URL, and telemetry sends CLI event data to that API’s telemetry endpoint.
AI rationale
The manifest’s prepublishOnly hook runs a build, and the runtime telemetry path is gated by an explicit environment setting. The reviewed authentication and telemetry requests target the configured Lotics API base, which defaults to api.lotics.ai; the suspicious scanner labels did not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json points the CLI and library entrypoints to dist/src/cli.js and dist/src/client.js; its prepublishOnly hook runs the build.
- Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1.
- When enabled, telemetry events include CLI session, command, flags, exit status, and duration.
- Authenticated requests use the configured API base URL, which defaults to api.lotics.ai; telemetry posts to that API’s CLI telemetry endpoint.
