Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent guidance is created by the explicit init command, while saved-token requests use the configured service and transcript sharing requires affirmative user action.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI, including `vatio init` or `vatio share-session`.
Impact
The observed effects are normal workspace setup and service operations; no install-time mutation or hidden credential transfer was found.
Mechanism
Initialization writes a project note; transcript sharing asks for confirmation or requires explicit `--yes`, then sends to the configured service. Other authenticated requests use the configured service URL.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. Agent guidance is created by the explicit init command, while saved-token requests use the configured service and transcript sharing requires affirmative user action.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI entry point and declares yaml as its dependency; no package install hook is present.
- The user-invoked init command creates the workspace note; it leaves an existing Vatio section alone.
- Saved-token requests use the configured service URL. Session sharing requires confirmation or explicit --yes before sending a transcript.
- The skills hint is reached from a CLI command and checks the skills package version.
- The inspected dependency and utility paths implement YAML parsing, composition, and stringifying, plus ordinary CLI configuration and workspace functions; no install-triggered attack chain was identified.
- The CLI announces its command telemetry before sending it, and the telemetry endpoint follows the configured service URL.
Evidence against
- The init command writes coding-agent guidance into a project AGENTS.md, but only when the user explicitly runs init.
- The CLI can send session transcripts after confirmation and routine command telemetry during normal CLI use.
