Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The reviewed behavior fits a Vatio workspace CLI: its project guidance writes are part of explicit initialization, and its default runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out. The flagged skills hint writes CLI cache state rather than agent instructions or settings. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:10:29.486Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:11:14.907Z - **Download time:** 1270 ms - **Static scan time:** 475 ms - **AI review time:** 43675 ms - **Total time:** 45421 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack identified. The CLI performs disclosed runtime telemetry, version checks, and explicit workspace setup. - **Trigger:** Telemetry runs after CLI commands by default; registry checks and the skills hint run only for eligible commands; workspace and AGENTS.md setup runs through \`vatio init\`. - **Impact:** No malicious impact identified. Telemetry can be disabled with VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0, and project guidance is written only when init is requested. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:11:14.907Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime events go to the configured Vatio API; version checks query the npm registry; init writes workspace guidance in the current project. - **Rationale:** The reviewed behavior fits a Vatio workspace CLI: its project guidance writes are part of explicit initialization, and its default runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out. The flagged skills hint writes CLI cache state rather than agent instructions or settings. - **Files touched:** ~/.vatio/telemetry-notice, ~/.vatio/sessions.json, ~/.vatio/update-check.json, ~/.vatio/skills-hint.json, ~/.vatio/skills-check.json, \/vatio.yml, \/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events (or the configured base URL), https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/cli/latest, https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a CLI entry point, with no install lifecycle scripts in the manifest., The AGENTS.md and workspace manifest writes are performed by the explicitly invoked \`init\` command., The skills hint runs after selected commands and stores hint/check state under the CLI config directory., Runtime telemetry is disclosed, excludes arguments and file contents, and can be disabled with VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0. - **Evidence against:** Runtime command outcome telemetry is enabled by default and may include an error message., The skills hint and update check contact the npm registry during eligible CLI commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.108.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.108.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
