Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent-related writes occur only through explicit CLI flows and are limited to workspace documentation or CLI hint state. The scanner’s agent-configuration finding is explained by these package-aligned behaviors; no concrete attack surface was established.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs `vatio init` or an applicable CLI command that displays a skills hint.
Impact
No unconsented install-time change to agent configuration or confirmed attack effect was established.
Mechanism
Initialization writes a local workspace manifest and an AGENTS.md note; the hint checks skill versions, prints manual update guidance, and saves its own display state.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent-related writes occur only through explicit CLI flows and are limited to workspace documentation or CLI hint state. The scanner’s agent-configuration finding is explained by these package-aligned behaviors; no concrete attack surface was established.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI entry and declares no lifecycle hooks.
- `vatio init` explicitly writes workspace files and calls the helper that adds a local AGENTS.md note.
- The note writer creates or appends only to AGENTS.md in the selected workspace.
- The skills hint can be suppressed in CI or with an environment flag and stores display state in the CLI config home.
- The skills hint checks for existing Vatio skills and prints update instructions; it does not install or modify agent plugins.
- The skills hint is called from explicit CLI command flows.
