Proactive Agent

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is openly designed for proactive, persistent assistance, but it asks the agent to remember broad personal/work context, check accounts, use many tools, and operate periodically without clear scope controls.

Install this only if you intentionally want a persistent, proactive agent. Use a dedicated workspace, define what files and accounts it may access, review memory files often, avoid storing secrets in memory, and require explicit approval for external actions, account changes, shell commands, browser automation, and spawned agents.

#
ASI06: Memory and Context Poisoning
High
What this means

Private personal or work details could be stored in long-term agent memory and reused in later sessions, including if they were captured accidentally or from misleading content.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to continuously learn from user files and persist that context, but does not define which files are in scope, what is excluded, how long memories are retained, or how users review/remove captured information.

Skill content
I will:
- Read your files and learn context continuously
- Proactively build things that might help
Recommendation

Use this only in a dedicated workspace, define explicit allowed paths and exclusions, review memory files regularly, and require approval before storing sensitive personal, financial, health, credential, or third-party information.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Medium
What this means

The agent may access sensitive account information such as messages, schedules, contacts, or event details more broadly than the user expects.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs periodic checks of email and calendar data, but the metadata declares no credentials or account scope and the artifacts do not specify read-only limits, which accounts are used, or what approval is required.

Skill content
Morning (08:00-09:00):
- Calendar check (next 24h)
- Email triage (urgent only)
Recommendation

Before enabling these workflows, configure exact account permissions, prefer read-only scopes, document which accounts may be accessed, and require explicit approval before sending, modifying, or deleting anything.

#
ASI10: Rogue Agents
Medium
What this means

The agent could continue initiating checks, updates, and messages beyond a single user task, increasing the chance of unwanted actions or interruptions.

Why it was flagged

The heartbeat workflow describes repeated proactive checks and outreach behavior, but the skill does not provide a concrete enable/disable mechanism, maximum runtime, or clear containment for autonomous activity.

Skill content
Don't check everything every time. Rotate through these 2-4 times per day
Recommendation

Only enable heartbeat or cron-like behavior with an explicit schedule, a visible kill switch, a list of allowed actions, and a rule that external or account-changing actions require user approval.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Medium
What this means

The agent may perform more local commands, browsing, searches, and delegated agent work than expected, which can consume resources or expose additional local/account context.

Why it was flagged

The skill encourages broad tool use and spawning agents before asking for help. Although it includes safety rules for destructive and external actions, it does not clearly limit shell, browser, web, or subagent activity.

Skill content
Try at least 5-10 methods before asking for help
Use every tool: CLI, browser, web search, spawning agents
Recommendation

Set explicit per-tool approval rules, especially for shell commands, browser automation, account access, web uploads, and spawning additional agents.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

It may be harder to verify the publisher, compare releases, or audit the exact upstream source.

Why it was flagged

The registry provides no source or homepage, and the registry version differs from the SKILL.md front matter version shown as 3.1.0. This is a provenance and review-context gap, not proof of malicious behavior.

Skill content
Source: unknown
Homepage: none
Registry metadata: ... Version: 1.0.0
Recommendation

Review the included files manually and prefer installing from publishers with clear source links, release history, and matching metadata.

#
ASI05: Unexpected Code Execution
Low
What this means

Running the script reads workspace files and may print matching credential-like lines to the terminal during the audit.

Why it was flagged

The skill includes a user-directed shell script. The provided script appears to run local grep-based security checks in the OpenClaw workspace, which is aligned with the stated security-audit purpose.

Skill content
Run security audit: `./scripts/security-audit.sh`
Recommendation

Inspect the script before running it and run it only in a trusted local terminal where output will not be shared or logged publicly.
