Monitor Alert - Automaton Edition

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is mostly a health-monitoring skill, but it includes under-disclosed local workspace inspection and persistent edits to agent session state.

Install only if you are comfortable with a monitoring skill that reads local OpenClaw workspace state and can edit SESSION-STATE.md. Review or disable token-monitor.js unless you specifically want token-budget status persisted into future agent session context.

Finding
The skill’s documented purpose is limited to system health monitoring and alerting, but the finding indicates it also scans unrelated skill directories and modifies SESSION-STATE.md. Undocumented filesystem inspection and state mutation expand the skill’s effective privileges and can create integrity and privacy risks, especially if operators invoke it expecting read-only monitoring behavior.
