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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T21:10:16.518Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T21:11:40.765Z - **Download time:** 1294 ms - **Static scan time:** 349 ms - **AI review time:** 82602 ms - **Total time:** 84247 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 was identified in the inspected source. Agent-related changes and transcript sharing are tied to explicit CLI commands or local reminder state. - **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. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T21:11:40.765Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI adds a Vatio workspace note to AGENTS.md and may send a session transcript after confirmation or with explicit --yes. - **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. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/cli@0.82.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/cli@0.82.1 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.
