Federation Ethical Hand

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed ethics-review skill that may broadly influence relevant responses and keep local ethics artifacts or metrics, but its behavior matches its stated purpose.

Install this if you want an ethics and cultural-perspective layer to affect relevant answers. Before using it with sensitive prompts, review or monitor the files under ~/.openclaw/hands/federation_ethic_hand and clear or disable retained artifacts if you do not want local records kept.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The 'When to Load' section includes a broad catch-all trigger ('Any ethically ambiguous decision with multiple legitimate viewpoints'), which can cause the skill to activate on a large class of requests without clear limits. In agent systems, ambiguous activation criteria can unpredictably alter behavior, introduce unnecessary web/fetch handling, and increase the chance of unwanted persistence or policy interference.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill states it will 'Write artefacts; log ethics metrics' and references persistent files, but does not clearly warn the user that enabling the skill may modify local state or retain interaction-derived metadata. Hidden or poorly disclosed data-affecting behavior is risky because users may unknowingly permit persistence of sensitive prompts, classifications, or derived annotations.
