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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:11:57.071Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:12:44.154Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 562 ms - **AI review time:** 46015 ms - **Total time:** 47083 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 package provides a Vatio workspace CLI with an update hint and disclosed, opt-out command telemetry. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:12:44.154Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** configHome()/skills-hint.json, configHome()/skills-check.json, configHome()/telemetry-notice, configHome()/sessions.json, \/AGENTS.md (vatio init only) - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, vatio.ai (default API base URL; configurable by the user) ### 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 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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.121.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.121.0 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.
