Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the installer runs only as an invoked CLI to install the advertised skills and MCP configuration. Its limited telemetry is disclosed in the README and installer, has an opt-out, and no credential or project data exfiltration was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T18:41:46.786Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T18:42:22.707Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 34 ms - **AI review time:** 35128 ms - **Total time:** 35921 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No attack was identified. The package provides a user-run installer for its coding-agent skills and Vatio MCP. - **Trigger:** The user runs the vatio-skills CLI; telemetry is sent during that run unless disabled. - **Impact:** Project agent configuration and skill files are changed as the installer describes; a limited telemetry event goes to Vatio. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T18:42:22.707Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI copies skills, adds a Vatio MCP server to project config when enabled, and sends a disclosed install event. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the installer runs only as an invoked CLI to install the advertised skills and MCP configuration. Its limited telemetry is disclosed in the README and installer, has an opt-out, and no credential or project data exfiltration was identified. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/, .claude/skills/, .mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, ~/.vatio/sessions.json - **Network endpoints:** https://vatio.ai/mcp, https://vatio.ai/api/developer/v1/cli/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes bin/install.mjs as a CLI and defines no lifecycle scripts., The explicitly run installer copies the package's skills and adds the Vatio MCP to project configuration files., Install telemetry reports the skills version, coding agent and session; the installer prints a disclosure and supports an opt-out., The README documents the telemetry and says the skills have no hooks or automatic behavior; session sharing requires user approval. - **Evidence against:** Running the CLI writes files under the target project and may update ~/.vatio/sessions.json., The installer sends a telemetry event to Vatio by default when the CLI is run. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vatio-ai/skills@2.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @vatio-ai/skills@2.0.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
