Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged CLI execution is part of app build tooling, and the manifest has no install-time hook. Telemetry is disabled by default and sends CLI metadata to the configured API endpoint, which defaults to the package's own service.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry requires LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1; npm build actions are reached through the app toolchain.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the inspected source.
Mechanism
Opt-in telemetry posts CLI metadata to the configured Lotics API. The CLI also invokes npm for app build and typecheck operations.
AI rationale
The flagged CLI execution is part of app build tooling, and the manifest has no install-time hook. Telemetry is disabled by default and sends CLI metadata to the configured API endpoint, which defaults to the package's own service.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 97.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI and client entry point; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.
- Runtime telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to "1".
- Telemetry events contain CLI session, command, flag names, version, duration and exit status metadata.
- Telemetry is posted to the configured API URL, which defaults to https://api.lotics.ai; the API key is sent as authorization to that same endpoint.
- The shell execution references are in the app toolchain's npm build path, with comments describing fixed CLI-written arguments.
Evidence against
- No install, preinstall or postinstall hook is declared.
- The inspected source shows no credential forwarding to an unrelated host or automatic host fingerprint collection.
