Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the flagged download-and-run string is an update instruction shown to the user. Telemetry requires an explicit environment setting, is documented, and sends to the configured API endpoint.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Normal CLI use; telemetry collection and sending occur only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1 is set.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the inspected entry points and flagged paths.
Mechanism
The CLI uses its configured Lotics API for requests and telemetry. The update command is presented as text for the user to run.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the flagged download-and-run string is an update instruction shown to the user. Telemetry requires an explicit environment setting, is documented, and sends to the configured API endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI and client library; its only publish lifecycle script runs a build, with no install hook.
- Runtime telemetry is off unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1. The README discloses the collected command, timing, failure message, and argument hashes and shapes, and says raw argument values and record data are excluded.
- Telemetry posts to the configured API's /v1/cli/telemetry endpoint with that API's credential; the default API host is api.lotics.ai.
