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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:10:37.459Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:11:27.080Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 468 ms - **AI review time:** 48638 ms - **Total time:** 49621 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; observed network and file activity supports ordinary CLI, telemetry, and skills-update hint behavior. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:11:27.080Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, ~/.vatio/telemetry-notice, ~/.vatio/sessions.json, ~/.vatio/skills-check.json, ~/.vatio/skills-hint.json - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events, https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.113.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.113.0 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.
