Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest exposes a CLI without install hooks. The reviewed agent configuration write occurs only in the explicitly invoked `init` command, and runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out; no credential misuse or unrelated data collection was identified.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI starts its run tracking; selected `test` commands can show a skills hint, and `vatio init` performs workspace setup when explicitly invoked.
Impact
No malicious behavior identified. The observed network and file operations support the CLI’s stated function.
Mechanism
Telemetry reports command outcomes to the configured Vatio API and can be disabled with VATIO_TELEMETRY=0. The skills hint checks the npm registry and stores local rate-limit state; `init` creates workspace files on user request.
AI rationale
The manifest exposes a CLI without install hooks. The reviewed agent configuration write occurs only in the explicitly invoked `init` command, and runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out; no credential misuse or unrelated data collection was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI executable, with no lifecycle scripts in the manifest.
- The `init` command writes a workspace manifest and an AGENTS.md note only when the user invokes it.
- The skills hint runs from selected `test` commands, checks CI and an opt-out variable, and stores its rate-limit state in Vatio’s config directory.
- The CLI discloses runtime telemetry, says it excludes arguments, files, and secrets, and provides `VATIO_TELEMETRY=0` to disable it.
