Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent-control finding resolves to reminder-state writes and an AGENTS.md note written by the explicit init command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, limited to command outcome metadata, and can be disabled; credentials are sent to the configured Vatio API.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Telemetry is reported after CLI commands; the skills hint runs when its command caller requests it; init writes a project note when explicitly invoked.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure or automatic AI-agent control-surface mutation was found.
Mechanism
Telemetry sends command outcome metadata to the configured Vatio API. The skills hint queries the npm registry and stores reminder state in configHome. init writes target/AGENTS.md.
AI rationale
The flagged agent-control finding resolves to reminder-state writes and an AGENTS.md note written by the explicit init command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed, limited to command outcome metadata, and can be disabled; credentials are sent to the configured Vatio API.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI entry point at bin/vatio.mjs.
- Runtime telemetry is disclosed to users and can be disabled with VATIO_TELEMETRY=0.
- Run reports contain the command label, exit code, duration, skill status and error description; they are sent to the configured Vatio API endpoint.
- The skills hint checks the Vatio skills registry and stores its check and display state under configHome, rather than modifying agent instructions.
- The AGENTS.md write is part of the explicitly invoked init command.
Evidence against
- The flagged skills-hint code writes reminder state files and prints a skills update hint; it does not write AI-agent instructions or settings.
- Credential-bearing requests use the configured Vatio base URL and workspace API path.
- The CLI’s ordinary telemetry notice says what is reported and gives an opt-out.
