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 manifest has no install hooks, and the inspected agent-instruction write occurs during an explicit project initialization command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, while session transcripts require confirmation before sending. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:11:00.695Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:11:44.799Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 521 ms - **AI review time:** 43062 ms - **Total time:** 44104 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 reviewed network and filesystem behavior supports the CLI’s workspace, telemetry, and setup functions. - **Trigger:** CLI behavior runs when a command is invoked; project guidance is written by the explicit init command. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer or agent-control change was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:11:44.799Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Commands use the Vatio API and npm registry for CLI functions, and init creates or updates project-local AGENTS.md guidance. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hooks, and the inspected agent-instruction write occurs during an explicit project initialization command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, while session transcripts require confirmation before sending. - **Files touched:** vatio.yml, AGENTS.md, skills-hint.json, skills-check.json, sessions.json, telemetry-notice - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai, 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 has no lifecycle scripts and exposes the CLI through bin/vatio.mjs., The AGENTS.md note is written by vatio init in the target project directory., Sharing a session requires --yes or an interactive confirmation; the transcript is sent to the configured Vatio API., Runtime command telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled with VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1. - **Evidence against:** The CLI makes network requests and writes local state during normal operation., vatio init adds project-level guidance to AGENTS.md. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.118.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.118.0 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.
