The first few analysis results don't include all stats from last_analysis_stats

[o-alquimista]

The first few analysis results don't show all the expected stats; they only start to appear later, near the end.

$ cd path/to/directory
$ vt scan file --wait --include last_analysis_stats .

That's because the API responds with more fields as it produces results. This is not an issue directly related to the CLI, but to the way the API behaves.

I've been trying to work around this by not using --wait, and by piping the output of scan file directly to the analysis command; but it's not working.

$ vt scan file ./01.\ Spun.mp3 | awk '{print $NF}' | vt analysis -

- _id: "ZWQ3YjA2YTE5OWJlZGQxN2FmNzM1NDM2MTg0OTJkOGI6MTc3MjQ3MjM5MA=="
  _type: "analysis"
  date: 1772472390  # 2026-03-02 14:26:30 -0300 -03
  results: 
  stats: 
    confirmed-timeout: 0
    failure: 0
    harmless: 0
    malicious: 0
    suspicious: 0
    timeout: 0
    type-unsupported: 0
    undetected: 0
  status: "queued"

The analysis command doesn't wait until it's complete; it's always status: "queued". I'm guessing that would be a feature request, right?

[o-alquimista]

Actually, removing --include from scan file is enough to make it show all the expected stats when scanning a directory. Add --include to filter it and the result is unexpectedly truncated.

In the meantime I'm piping the (very long) output to less.

vt scan file --wait ./path/to/dir | less

and using its search feature to jump to every instance of "last_analysis_stats".
