Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent configuration behavior is either read-only discovery or a project note written only by the explicit `init` command. The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected YAML dependency source implements parsing and serialization.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The AGENTS.md write occurs when a user invokes `vatio init`; skill discovery occurs during CLI runtime.
Impact
No confirmed harmful effect or attack surface was established.
Mechanism
Initialization writes or updates AGENTS.md in the current workspace. Skill discovery reads plugin metadata and nearby skill files to report installed Vatio skills.
AI rationale
The flagged agent configuration behavior is either read-only discovery or a project note written only by the explicit `init` command. The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected YAML dependency source implements parsing and serialization.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI binary and YAML dependency without lifecycle scripts.
- The AGENTS.md note is created or appended by the explicit `vatio init` command after it checks the target workspace; the write is not an install hook.
- The skills hint reads Claude Code plugin metadata and project skill locations to identify installed Vatio skills; it does not write agent configuration.
- The declared YAML dependency source is parser, composer, schema, and serializer code, and its manifest has no install scripts.
- The CLI dispatches explicit user commands; update checks are runtime CLI behavior.
