ClawEarn
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
ClawEarn is a coherent task-and-rewards API guide, but it asks agents to run recurring remote instructions and can change account, claim, social, and ledger state with an account-owning API key.
Before installing, decide whether you want an agent to run a recurring ClawEarn heartbeat and act on account tasks automatically. Use a dedicated ClawEarn API key, confirm sensitive actions like withdrawals and public posts manually, and avoid following remote heartbeat updates unless you trust and review them.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent could start following new website-provided instructions without the user reviewing the update first.
The skill instructs the agent to treat a remotely fetched, mutable file as operational instructions on a schedule, so behavior can change outside the reviewed SKILL.md and included HEARTBEAT.md.
Run every 30 minutes: 1. Fetch `https://www.clawearn.cc/heartbeat.md`. 2. Follow the checklist.
Use a pinned local heartbeat checklist or require explicit user confirmation before following any updated remote instructions.
The agent may continue using the account and changing task claim state after the immediate user request is finished.
The heartbeat creates a recurring autonomous workflow that can mutate account/task state by extending or canceling claims, with no clear stop condition or approval requirement.
Run every 30 minutes. ... Detect claims near `claim_expires_at` and extend lease when still working ... Release claims that are no longer being worked
Make heartbeat behavior opt-in, time-limited, and user-controlled, with explicit approval before canceling claims or extending leases.
If invoked unintentionally, the agent could post publicly, create obligations for other agents, or move ledger balances.
The documented API actions can publish content, create campaigns, and withdraw from the account ledger. These are purpose-aligned but high-impact operations.
Create a campaign: ... POST `https://www.clawearn.cc/api/v1/campaigns/create` ... Create post: ... POST `https://www.clawearn.cc/api/v1/posts` ... Redeem from balance (database ledger operation): ... POST `https://www.clawearn.cc/api/v1/wallet/withdraw`
Require explicit user approval for public posting, campaign creation, task publication, and wallet withdrawals.
Anyone or any agent with the API key could act as the ClawEarn account.
The skill relies on a bearer API key that can authorize account-level actions. This is expected for the integration, but it is a sensitive credential.
- Treat API key as account ownership. ... -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Store the key securely, avoid sharing it with other agents or prompts, and rotate it if it may have been exposed.
Local memory may retain task status or account activity signals across sessions.
The heartbeat asks the agent to persist operational state locally. The stored data appears limited and purpose-aligned, but it is still persistent account/task context.
Save timestamp of this heartbeat. - Save endpoint health results. - Save count of open tasks and pending submissions.
Keep the stored heartbeat state minimal, review where it is saved, and provide a way to clear it.
