Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest exposes a CLI and client, while the inspected credential and telemetry paths target the Lotics API and telemetry requires explicit opt-in. The flagged download-and-run string is printed for the user rather than executed automatically.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Users invoke the CLI or client; telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1.
Impact
No malicious data collection or unauthorized action was established in the inspected flows.
Mechanism
The CLI sends API requests to the configured Lotics API host. The flagged shell pipeline is printed as an update suggestion rather than run by the package.
AI rationale
The manifest exposes a CLI and client, while the inspected credential and telemetry paths target the Lotics API and telemetry requires explicit opt-in. The flagged download-and-run string is printed for the user rather than executed automatically.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI executable and a separate JavaScript client entry point.
- Telemetry is enabled only when LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to "1".
- The CLI's default API host is api.lotics.ai, and its telemetry request uses the API key as a bearer credential.
- The flagged shell pipeline is returned as an update instruction for display.
Evidence against
- The manifest's prepublishOnly script is a build script, not an install hook.
- The inspected code did not show a fixed unofficial gateway receiving credentials or command output.
