Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged AGENTS.md write occurs only during the explicit `vatio init` command and adds workspace-specific guidance. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled; the inspected network checks fetch Vatio CLI release metadata from npm.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
CLI invocation triggers disclosed, opt-out telemetry and occasional version checks; vatio init explicitly writes workspace files.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the inspected behavior.
Mechanism
Telemetry sends command outcome data to the configured Vatio API; version checks fetch release metadata from npm. Initialization writes vatio.yml and a Vatio note in AGENTS.md.
AI rationale
The flagged AGENTS.md write occurs only during the explicit `vatio init` command and adds workspace-specific guidance. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled; the inspected network checks fetch Vatio CLI release metadata from npm.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI binary and declares yaml as its only dependency; it defines no lifecycle scripts.
- The AGENTS.md update is part of the explicit vatio init command and writes a Vatio workspace note.
- The note writer only creates or appends a Vatio section to the workspace AGENTS.md, and leaves files already mentioning Vatio unchanged.
- The CLI discloses its runtime telemetry, says arguments, file contents and secrets are not sent, and provides VATIO_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 opt-outs.
- The telemetry implementation reports the command label, exit code and an error description.
- Version checks query the npm registry for this CLI’s latest release.
Evidence against
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and includes command and error information.
- The explicit share-session command can upload a cleaned session transcript after confirmation or with --yes.
- The explicit init command may create or update AGENTS.md in the current workspace.
