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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:10:30.242Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:11:31.262Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 479 ms - **AI review time:** 60030 ms - **Total time:** 61020 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 flagged agent-file write requires an explicit workspace initialization command. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:11:31.262Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.vatio/telemetry-notice, ~/.vatio/sessions.json, ~/.vatio/update-check.json, ~/.vatio/skills-check.json, ~/.vatio/skills-hint.json, vatio.yml, AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, config.resolveBaseUrl()/api/developer/v1/cli/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.111.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.111.0 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.
