Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent-instruction write is performed by the explicit `vatio init` command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and has an opt-out; credentialed requests use the configured Vatio API, and sharing a session requires consent.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Normal CLI commands; AGENTS.md setup occurs only when the user runs `vatio init`.
Impact
No malicious impact identified.
Mechanism
Commands use the configured Vatio API; runtime usage reports can be disabled, and transcript sharing asks for consent or requires --yes.
AI rationale
The flagged agent-instruction write is performed by the explicit `vatio init` command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed and has an opt-out; credentialed requests use the configured Vatio API, and sharing a session requires consent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The AI-agent instruction file is written only by the explicit `vatio init` command.
- Runtime usage reporting is disclosed and can be disabled with VATIO_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
- Usage reports send command, exit status, duration, installed skill version and error details to the configured Vatio API.
- Session sharing requires confirmation or an explicit --yes flag; noninteractive runs stop without sending.
Evidence against
- The CLI makes network requests to Vatio and the npm registry during normal commands.
- The explicit init command may append a Vatio section to AGENTS.md.
