Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no npm lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency, and the flagged agent-facing effects require explicit CLI use. The credential-bearing session transfer is user-invoked, approval-gated, and directed to the configured Vatio API.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes a CLI command; workspace note creation requires `vatio init`, and session sharing requires explicit approval.
Impact
No unconsented credential disclosure, broad agent control change, or remote code execution was established.
Mechanism
The skills hint records local reminder state, while `vatio init` adds a project note. Session sharing submits a transcript to the configured Vatio service after confirmation.
AI rationale
The package has no npm lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency, and the flagged agent-facing effects require explicit CLI use. The credential-bearing session transfer is user-invoked, approval-gated, and directed to the configured Vatio API.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and a single runtime dependency; it defines no lifecycle hook or self-dependency.
- The AGENTS.md note is written during the explicitly invoked `vatio init` command as part of local workspace setup.
- The skills hint checks existing agent skill metadata and stores a local reminder timestamp; it displays a hint rather than installing or updating an extension.
- `share-session` is an explicit CLI command. Without `--yes`, it requires terminal confirmation and refuses to send in noninteractive use.
- The confirmed session submission sends a transcript and the Vatio token to the configured Vatio API endpoint; the default service URL is vatio.ai.
- The normal success and error paths report run results through telemetry, which can be disabled; the events endpoint and token use the same configured service base URL.
