Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent-instruction write is confined to the current workspace and occurs during the user-invoked `vatio init` command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, has an opt-out, and targets the configured Vatio service; the skills hint checks the official npm registry for the Vatio skills version.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI runs when a user invokes a command; workspace setup runs only with `vatio init`, and skills hints run in selected improvement commands.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure, install-time behavior, or automatic changes to agent control surfaces were identified.
Mechanism
Commands communicate with the configured Vatio service; telemetry reports command outcomes with an opt-out. Skills-hint network access checks the Vatio skills version. `vatio init` writes a Vatio section to the current workspace's `AGENTS.md`.
AI rationale
The flagged agent-instruction write is confined to the current workspace and occurs during the user-invoked `vatio init` command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, has an opt-out, and targets the configured Vatio service; the skills hint checks the official npm registry for the Vatio skills version.

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 CLI binary and has no install lifecycle scripts.
- The `AGENTS.md` write is part of the explicit `vatio init` command, which also creates the workspace manifest.
- Runtime telemetry is disclosed to users, can be disabled with `VATIO_TELEMETRY=0`, and posts command outcome data to the configured Vatio base URL.
- The skills hint fetches only the Vatio skills package version and records hint state in the CLI config directory.
Evidence against
- The CLI may send runtime telemetry while enabled, including a workspace identifier and error descriptions.
- `vatio init` writes behavior-bearing instructions into a workspace `AGENTS.md` file when explicitly invoked.
