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-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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:11:57.094Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:12:27.712Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 536 ms - **AI review time:** 29573 ms - **Total time:** 30618 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 was identified. The CLI performs its documented workspace operations, explicitly invoked agent-instruction setup, disclosed runtime telemetry, and a package-version check. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:12:27.712Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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\`. - **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. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, ${configHome()}/skills-hint.json, ${configHome()}/skills-check.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest, ${config.resolveBaseUrl()}/api/developer/v1/cli/events ### 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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.120.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.120.0 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.
