Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete attack. The flagged agent configuration write is part of explicit workspace initialization, and the separate skills hint does not install or update agent extensions.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the user-invoked vatio init command creates the workspace note; ordinary CLI runs may display the guarded skills hint.
Impact
No harmful account action, credential transfer, or unconsented install-time agent configuration change was identified.
Mechanism
The note adds Vatio workspace instructions to AGENTS.md. The hint reads skill-install state and writes a per-directory display timestamp in the CLI config directory.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete attack. The flagged agent configuration write is part of explicit workspace initialization, and the separate skills hint does not install or update agent extensions.

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 manifest exposes a CLI and declares yaml as its only runtime dependency; it has no install lifecycle hook. The inspected yaml source is parser and stringifier code.
- The AGENTS.md note is written during the explicit init command and contains Vatio workspace guidance. The skills hint is guarded and records display state in the CLI config directory.
- The bounded runtime/dependency source review found no attack behavior.
