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 flagged AGENTS.md write is part of the explicit \`vatio init\` command and is limited to its workspace. The skills check contacts the npm registry for version information, while disclosed runtime telemetry has an opt-out and uses the configured Vatio API. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:10:30.245Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:11:18.593Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 477 ms - **AI review time:** 47361 ms - **Total time:** 48348 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 was identified. - **Trigger:** The CLI performs its actions when a user runs commands; init writes workspace guidance, selected commands show a skills hint, and command runs may report telemetry. - **Impact:** No unauthorized agent configuration changes, credential exfiltration, or unrelated external collection was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:11:18.593Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hint checks npm for the skills package version and stores local cache state; telemetry posts disclosed command outcomes to the configured Vatio API. - **Rationale:** The flagged AGENTS.md write is part of the explicit \`vatio init\` command and is limited to its workspace. The skills check contacts the npm registry for version information, while disclosed runtime telemetry has an opt-out and uses the configured Vatio API. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md in the initialized workspace, configHome()/skills-hint.json, configHome()/skills-check.json, configHome()/sessions.json, configHome()/telemetry-notice - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, vatio.ai, configured Vatio API base URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The AGENTS.md write occurs in vatio init after it writes the workspace manifest, so it requires an explicit setup command., The skills hint is called from selected CLI commands and fetches only the latest @vatio-ai/skills version from the npm registry., Runtime telemetry is disclosed, excludes arguments, files and secrets, and can be disabled with VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1., Telemetry posts to the configured Vatio API base URL; the default is https://vatio.ai. - **Evidence against:** The package has a CLI bin entry and no lifecycle script in its manifest., The skills hint writes reminder and version cache files under configHome(), not agent instructions or settings., Telemetry includes command and error details, but the package discloses this collection and provides an opt-out. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.109.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.109.0 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.
