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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T02:12:19.019Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T02:13:01.189Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 568 ms - **AI review time:** 41092 ms - **Total time:** 42170 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 performs disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry and checks for Vatio skills updates. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T02:13:01.189Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ${configHome()}/skills-hint.json, ${configHome()}/skills-check.json, ${configHome()}/telemetry-notice, target/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest, ${config.resolveBaseUrl()}/api/developer/v1/cli/events, ${config.resolveBaseUrl()}/api/developer/v1/${config.resolveWorkspaceRequired()} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.125.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.125.0 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.
