Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install lifecycle hook. The agent configuration finding resolves to an explicit CLI setup action, while the skills hint reads installed metadata and stores its own display state; transcript sharing is separately invoked and confirmation-gated.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The note is written when a user runs the init command; the skills hint runs from improve-related commands outside CI unless disabled.
Impact
No unconsented agent control-surface mutation or other confirmed attack effect was established.
Mechanism
The note is added to the initialized workspace's AGENTS.md. The hint reads plugin metadata and stores local display state; neither inspected path installs or updates agent extensions.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook. The agent configuration finding resolves to an explicit CLI setup action, while the skills hint reads installed metadata and stores its own display state; transcript sharing is separately invoked and confirmation-gated.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle script and exposes a CLI entrypoint.
- The agent note is written during the explicit init command into the initialized workspace's AGENTS.md.
- The skills hint checks installed skill metadata and stores display-check state; its shown destination is package config state, not an agent control file.
- Session transcript sharing is a separate CLI command with a confirmation step, and sends to the configured Vatio service using the saved token.
- The improve command fetches workspace documentation using the configured service URL and token.
