Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install hook, and the flagged AGENTS.md write is limited to the explicit init command. Transcript transfer requires explicit user approval and targets the configured Vatio service, so the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack surface.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI; workspace notes are written by init, and transcript sharing requires the share-session command plus consent.
Impact
No confirmed attack impact; no install-time agent configuration mutation or covert transcript transfer was established.
Mechanism
The init command creates or appends a Vatio workspace note. Transcript sharing sends a cleaned session transcript to the configured Vatio endpoint after approval.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the flagged AGENTS.md write is limited to the explicit init command. Transcript transfer requires explicit user approval and targets the configured Vatio service, so the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack surface.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies a CLI entry point and declares yaml as its only dependency; it has no install lifecycle hook.
- The project AGENTS.md note is written during the explicit init command, and existing notes that mention Vatio are left unchanged.
- The skills hint checks agent installation metadata and stores its own display state; it does not write agent instructions or settings.
- Transcript sharing is a separate CLI command. Without --yes it requires an affirmative terminal response, and a noninteractive run without --yes stops without sending.
- When sharing is approved, the CLI posts the transcript to its configured Vatio base URL and uses the configured token for authorization.
- The executable routes the requested command through its dispatcher; its trial retry is limited to a specific trial error. The inspected runtime callers show no automatic agent setup.
