Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent-related write adds a project-specific Vatio note only during `vatio init`. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled, while transcript sharing requires confirmation; the npm request retrieves skills-version metadata.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running CLI commands; transcript sharing requires explicit confirmation, and the project agent note is written by `vatio init`.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer, agent control hijack, or other attack behavior was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI reports command outcomes to its configured Vatio API with disclosed opt-out controls, checks npm for skills version metadata, and writes local state or the requested project setup note.
AI rationale
The flagged agent-related write adds a project-specific Vatio note only during `vatio init`. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled, while transcript sharing requires confirmation; the npm request retrieves skills-version metadata.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a Vatio CLI entry point.
- Only the explicit `vatio init` command writes a project `AGENTS.md` note that describes Vatio workflows.
- Session transcripts are sent only after `--yes` or interactive confirmation.
- The CLI discloses runtime telemetry and provides `VATIO_TELEMETRY=0` and `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` opt-outs; events go to the configured Vatio API.
- The skills hint checks the npm registry for the latest skills version and caches version-check state.
Evidence against
- Runtime telemetry is enabled by default and includes command outcomes and error details.
- Improve-related commands may make a request to the npm registry and write hint state under the Vatio config directory.
