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 routed agent-configuration write is scoped to the current directory and occurs only in vatio init. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, opt-out is supported, and its reports go to the configured Vatio service; the skills hint only recommends an install command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T12:37:34.609Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T12:38:20.918Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 628 ms - **AI review time:** 45169 ms - **Total time:** 46309 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; reviewed the CLI entry point, skills hint, workspace instruction write, telemetry, and credential flows. - **Trigger:** CLI commands trigger their relevant actions; vatio init is required to write AGENTS.md, and skills hints run after test-list commands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or agent-control mutation identified. The workspace note is written only as part of the requested initialization command. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:38:20.918Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The skills hint checks the npm registry and prints an install suggestion. Telemetry sends disclosed command outcome data to the configured Vatio API and has an opt-out. - **Rationale:** The routed agent-configuration write is scoped to the current directory and occurs only in vatio init. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, opt-out is supported, and its reports go to the configured Vatio service; the skills hint only recommends an install command. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md in the current directory (vatio init), configHome()/skills-hint.json, configHome()/skills-check.json, configHome()/telemetry-notice, configHome()/sessions.json - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest, registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/cli/latest, https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events (default base URL; configurable) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the CLI through bin/vatio.mjs., The skills hint prints an optional npx install suggestion; it does not install the skills itself., The AGENTS.md write is part of the explicit vatio init command and targets the current workspace directory., Runtime telemetry is disclosed, can be disabled, and reports command outcomes to the configured Vatio service., The telemetry payload contains command, exit code, duration, installed-skill version and error details. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.123.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.123.0 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.
