Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration writes are tied to explicit CLI commands with limited scope. The transcript upload is gated by confirmation and sends the Vatio token to the configured Vatio API base URL.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running vatio init, an improve command, or share-session.
Impact
These actions do not establish malicious behavior or an unconsented agent control-surface change.
Mechanism
init writes a brief workspace note; improve commands may display and cache a skills reminder; share-session prompts before sending a transcript to the configured Vatio API.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration writes are tied to explicit CLI commands with limited scope. The transcript upload is gated by confirmation and sends the Vatio token to the configured Vatio API base URL.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the CLI entrypoint and has no lifecycle hook; its runtime dependency is yaml.
- The AGENTS.md update runs in the explicit init command, writes a short workspace note, and leaves files already mentioning Vatio unchanged.
- The skills hint reads agent installation metadata and caches its reminder under Vatio config; it is called by improve commands and can be disabled.
- Transcript sharing asks for confirmation and sends only after consent; the bearer token goes to the configured Vatio API base URL.
- The CLI dispatches share-session as a named command; its trial recovery path only retries the command after a claimed-trial response.
- The inspected child-process helper invokes git with fixed arguments to read repository metadata.
