Agent Orchestrator Template

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only orchestration template that guides sub-agent delegation and review, with some routing and persistence cautions but no evidence of hidden or malicious behavior.

Install this if you want a main agent to coordinate OpenClaw sub-agents. Review the routing keywords, language of templates, allowed sub-agent list, and any MEMORY.md or resume-state use before enabling it in a shared or mixed-language workspace.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger

  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes broad phrases such as generic orchestration terms that can match ordinary user requests, causing the skill to auto-activate outside its intended scope. In an orchestrator skill, unintended activation is more dangerous because it can reshape task routing, delegation, and acceptance behavior for unrelated conversations.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The embedded reporting and delivery templates prescribe Chinese-language output fields and labels without indicating that locale is configurable or user-driven. In an orchestrator skill, hard-coded language can cause operator confusion, misrouting, failed acceptance checks, or accidental disclosure through misunderstood status/escalation messages, especially in mixed-language environments.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The routing examples are entirely written as Chinese user utterances, which implies a language-specific interaction pattern for activation and use. The document does not state that this playbook is intentionally Chinese-only or provide any user opt-in or alternative language handling, creating a natural-language locale policy concern.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The file defines routing triggers and examples largely in Chinese, mixed with a few English phrases, but does not state that the skill is intended only for Chinese-language workflows or provide an opt-in language selection. This can violate language/locale policy because it effectively biases activation behavior toward one language without user choice.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The no-spawn trigger phrase "What is" is overly broad and can match many requests that are not simple factual questions. This can force local handling when delegation or bounded specialist review would be safer or more appropriate, increasing the chance of incorrect routing and missed verification in an orchestration system.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

Broad domain triggers like "内容", "功能", and "投资" are likely to overmatch everyday language and route tasks into inappropriate domains. In an agent orchestration context, misclassification can send work to the wrong specialist, weaken safety assumptions around bounded delegation, and increase the risk of unintended side effects or poor handling of sensitive tasks.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

Line L123 lists Chinese phrases as part of the no-spawn rules, but the document does not state that the skill is Chinese-language or otherwise locale-specific. This creates a natural-language locale bias because special handling is defined for one language without user opt-in or an explicit multilingual policy.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Category

Confidence
76% confidence
Finding

The manifest presents category, title, descriptions, and triggers in Chinese in some sections while other sections are in English, but it does not explain locale selection, user opt-in, or whether the skill is intended for a specific language audience. This can create an implicit language policy constraint without clear documentation or user choice.
