Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source supports a clean verdict: the package has no install hook, and agent-related file writes are scoped to explicit workspace setup or local reminder caching. Transcript sharing requires the dedicated command and affirmative confirmation by default, and sends its token to the configured API, defaulting to Vatio.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Workspace guidance is written by the explicit init command; transcript upload requires the share-session command.
Impact
No unconsented agent control-surface change, credential theft, or harmful action was established.
Mechanism
The CLI adds a Vatio workspace note to AGENTS.md and may send a session transcript after confirmation or with explicit --yes.
AI rationale
The inspected source supports a clean verdict: the package has no install hook, and agent-related file writes are scoped to explicit workspace setup or local reminder caching. Transcript sharing requires the dedicated command and affirmative confirmation by default, and sends its token to the configured API, defaulting to Vatio.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the CLI entrypoint and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The AGENTS.md write is reached through the explicit init command; it preserves files that already mention Vatio and adds workspace guidance.
- The skills hint reads agent installation state, checks the Vatio skills registry, and stores reminder state locally.
- Transcript sharing is a separate CLI command. Without --yes it prompts in a terminal and refuses to send in noninteractive use; the upload includes the configured API token.
- The upload targets the configured Vatio API, whose default base URL is https://vatio.ai.
- The flagged child process helper invokes git with fixed arguments to read repository metadata.
