## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.133.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 configuration write is confined to the explicit vatio init command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and transcript sharing requires explicit user action; no credential theft or unrelated automatic action was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T23:18:35.005Z

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 CLI has disclosed, opt-out runtime telemetry and performs workspace setup only when its init command is explicitly run.

- **Trigger:** CLI command execution; workspace setup requires vatio init, and transcript sharing requires an explicit share-session command with confirmation or --yes.

- **Impact:** No malicious behavior found; expected telemetry and user-requested workspace setup.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T23:19:00.283Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Telemetry reports command outcome metadata to Vatio and can be disabled. The skills hint fetches version metadata from the npm registry. Init writes a workspace manifest and an AGENTS.md note.

- **Rationale:** The flagged agent configuration write is confined to the explicit vatio init command. Runtime telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, and transcript sharing requires explicit user action; no credential theft or unrelated automatic action was found.

- **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, skills-hint.json, telemetry-notice

- **Network endpoints:** vatio.ai, registry.npmjs.org

### 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 CLI executable and declares no lifecycle scripts., Runtime telemetry is disclosed, excludes arguments, file contents and secrets, and can be disabled with VATIO\_TELEMETRY=0 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1., The AGENTS.md write is part of the explicit vatio init command, which also creates a workspace manifest., Session transcripts are sent only through the explicit share-session flow, which asks for confirmation unless --yes is supplied., The skills hint checks the npm registry for a version and stores local hint state; it does not install or modify agent skills.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI sends default runtime usage telemetry to Vatio, including command labels and error information., vatio init writes a Vatio section into the workspace’s AGENTS.md file.
