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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:12:19.287Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:12:51.265Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 573 ms - **AI review time:** 31149 ms - **Total time:** 31978 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 is a Vatio workspace management CLI with disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry and command-triggered skills hints. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:12:51.265Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** $VATIO\_HOME/telemetry-notice, $VATIO\_HOME/skills-hint.json, $VATIO\_HOME/skills-check.json, \/vatio.yml, \/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events, https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.124.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.124.0 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.
