Vynn Backtester

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: vynn-backtester Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw skill 'vynn-backtester' is a legitimate client for the Vynn backtesting service. It clearly documents its purpose, required environment variables (`VYNN_API_KEY`), and external network interactions with `https://the-vynn.com` for backtesting and signup. The `plugin.py` code correctly handles API key authentication and sends only strategy descriptions and ticker lists, without attempting to exfiltrate sensitive data or execute arbitrary commands locally. The `SKILL.md` contains no prompt injection attempts against the agent; all instructions and examples are for legitimate usage.

Findings (0)

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.

What this means

Anyone or anything using this configured key can run Vynn backtests under the user's account or quota.

Why it was flagged

The plugin uses a service API key to authenticate remote backtest requests. This is expected for the Vynn integration, but it is still credentialed access that can consume the user's Vynn quota.

Skill content
self.api_key = os.getenv("VYNN_API_KEY", "") ... "X-API-Key": self.api_key
Recommendation

Use a Vynn-specific API key, keep it out of shared logs or prompts, and verify any VYNN_BASE_URL override before running the skill.

What this means

Proprietary strategy ideas, ticker lists, or lookback choices may leave the local environment and be processed by Vynn.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that backtest inputs are transmitted to an external provider. This is purpose-aligned, but users should notice the data flow.

Skill content
Strategy descriptions and ticker lists are sent to the Vynn API for backtest execution
Recommendation

Only submit strategy details you are comfortable sharing with Vynn, and avoid including personal portfolio holdings or sensitive account information in strategy text.
