Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged skill path only checks versions and prints a hint, while its state stays under Vatio’s config directory. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and the project AGENTS.md write belongs to the explicit init command.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running CLI commands triggers command telemetry by default; selected test commands may show a skills hint. The AGENTS.md note is written by the explicit vatio init command.
Impact
Routine first-party CLI reporting and local state updates; no malicious behavior identified. Error reports may include shortened stack details, potentially including project paths.
Mechanism
The hint checks registry.npmjs.org and records local state under configHome(). Telemetry posts command outcome data to the configured Vatio API base URL. vatio init may write a project AGENTS.md note.
AI rationale
The flagged skill path only checks versions and prints a hint, while its state stays under Vatio’s config directory. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and the project AGENTS.md write belongs to the explicit init command.
Evidence
configHome()/skills-hint.jsonconfigHome()/skills-check.jsonconfigHome()/telemetry-noticeconfigHome()/sessions.json<current working directory>/AGENTS.md (vatio init only)

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 command-line executable and declares no lifecycle scripts or library entry point.
- The skills hint checks the npm registry and stores its check and display state under configHome(), not in agent instructions or settings.
- Telemetry is disclosed and can be disabled with VATIO_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
- Command telemetry sends command, exit status, optional error details, and workspace to the configured Vatio API base URL.
- The AGENTS.md helper is part of the explicit vatio init flow.
Evidence against
- Error telemetry can include a shortened error stack, which may contain local project paths; the CLI notice describes command outcome reporting and provides an opt-out.
