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-instruction write occurs only as part of the user-run \`vatio init\` workspace setup command. Skills hints are command-triggered, and the default telemetry is disclosed, opt-out capable, and sent to the configured Vatio API; the reviewed source shows no malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T15:31:22.000Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T15:32:30.777Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 608 ms - **AI review time:** 67662 ms - **Total time:** 68777 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; the reviewed behavior supports workspace setup, skills hints, updates, and disclosed CLI telemetry. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI; workspace instruction writes require the explicit \`vatio init\` command, and skills hints follow selected test commands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, unrelated collection, or automatic agent-control change was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T15:32:30.777Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI contacts Vatio’s configured API and npm’s registry for its own service data and version hints; it writes workspace setup files or small config caches. - **Rationale:** The flagged agent-instruction write occurs only as part of the user-run \`vatio init\` workspace setup command. Skills hints are command-triggered, and the default telemetry is disclosed, opt-out capable, and sent to the configured Vatio API; the reviewed source shows no malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** ${process.cwd()}/vatio.yml, ${process.cwd()}/AGENTS.md, ${configHome()}/skills-hint.json, ${configHome()}/skills-check.json, ${configHome()}/update-check.json, ${configHome()}/sessions.json - **Network endpoints:** ${config.resolveBaseUrl()}/api/developer/v1/cli/events, registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/skills/latest, registry.npmjs.org/@vatio-ai/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a \`vatio\` CLI entry point and declares no package main or exports., \`vatio init\` is an explicit CLI command; it creates the workspace manifest and adds a Vatio-specific note to that directory’s \`AGENTS.md\`., The skills hint runs after \`vatio test list\` output or saving, and can be disabled with \`VATIO\_NO\_SKILLS\_HINT\`; it records hint state under Vatio’s config home., Runtime telemetry is described to users, has \`VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0\` and \`DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1\` opt-outs, and reports command outcomes to the configured Vatio API endpoint. - **Evidence against:** Telemetry is enabled by default and may include an error message when a command fails., \`vatio init\` writes agent instructions in the workspace directory, but only when that explicit command is run. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.126.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.126.0 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.
