Lotics SDK and CLI for AI agents
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected CLI source gates telemetry on an explicit environment opt-in and sends it to the configured API, defaulting to api.lotics.ai. The manifest's prepublishOnly hook runs a build; the inspected evidence does not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Telemetry collection and sending require LOTICS_TELEMETRY=1.
Impact
No malicious collection or unrelated credential transfer was established.
Mechanism
The CLI records invocation and error metadata, then posts batches to the configured API URL.
AI rationale
The inspected CLI source gates telemetry on an explicit environment opt-in and sends it to the configured API, defaulting to api.lotics.ai. The manifest's prepublishOnly hook runs a build; the inspected evidence does 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 exposes dist/src/cli.js as the CLI and defines prepublishOnly as a build step.
- Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS_TELEMETRY is set to 1; the CLI applies the same guard before installing telemetry.
- When enabled, telemetry posts events to the configured API URL, which defaults to api.lotics.ai.
