Vatio CLI — deploy and manage Vatio agent workspaces
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged agent configuration behavior is reached through the explicit init command, and the skills hint does not install or modify agent skills. The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected required dependency source is YAML parsing and serialization code.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The AGENTS.md write occurs when the user runs the init command; the skills hint runs during CLI command handling unless disabled or running in CI.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established from these behaviors.
Mechanism
Initialization adds a Vatio workspace note to AGENTS.md. The skills hint reads installed-skill metadata, checks version information, and records reminder state in the CLI configuration directory.
AI rationale
The flagged agent configuration behavior is reached through the explicit init command, and the skills hint does not install or modify agent skills. The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected required dependency source is YAML parsing and serialization code.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the CLI through bin/vatio.mjs and declares yaml as its dependency; no lifecycle script is declared.
- The AGENTS.md change is performed by the explicitly dispatched init command, which writes workspace setup guidance and leaves files mentioning Vatio unchanged.
- The skills hint reads installed-skill version metadata, fetches version information from the npm registry, and prints update instructions; it does not install or update skills.
- The required yaml dependency excerpts show YAML parsing, composition, schema, and stringification code, with no install scripts in its inspected manifest.
- The inspected support, workspace, pull, and update-notice excerpts concern explicit CLI commands or update notices; no attack was identified in them.
