Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest exposes a CLI without an install lifecycle hook. Source inspection shows the flagged agent configuration behavior is user-invoked or limited to local hint state, and session sharing requires explicit approval; no malicious behavior was identified.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs `vatio init`, a skills-related command, or explicitly approves `vatio share-session`.
Impact
No confirmed attack impact remains after tracing these behaviors to their triggers and destinations.
Mechanism
`init` adds a Vatio section to the project AGENTS.md; the skills hint records local display state, and session upload uses the configured Vatio API.
AI rationale
The manifest exposes a CLI without an install lifecycle hook. Source inspection shows the flagged agent configuration behavior is user-invoked or limited to local hint state, and session sharing requires explicit approval; no malicious behavior was identified.
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 the Vatio CLI and has no install lifecycle hook.
- The project AGENTS.md write runs through explicit `vatio init`; it leaves files mentioning Vatio unchanged.
- The skills hint runs after a user command, recommends manual installation or updates, and stores its display state under Vatio's config directory.
- Sharing a session requires `--yes` or an interactive affirmative response; the upload uses the configured Vatio API base URL.
- The entrypoint dispatches the requested command and handles ordinary trial retry and error reporting.
- The support helper invokes Git to collect commit metadata for deployment traceability.
