openclaw-monitor

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This is mostly a local OpenClaw monitoring tool, but it can place task command/error details into a shareable health report despite claiming the shareable report contains only safe status information.

Review what task commands and error messages may contain before enabling this skill. It appears safe as a local monitoring utility if you keep sensitive error details out of shareable ops reports, verify the sibling OpenClaw interchange helper, and use backup/restore commands only with explicit approval.

Findings (3)

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

A failed task message containing paths, account names, internal system details, or secrets could be saved into a report that other skills or agents may treat as shareable.

Why it was flagged

The shareable ops health report can persist recent task command names and error messages into interchange/monitoring/ops/health.md. Error text may contain sensitive operational details, and this conflicts with the stated ops/state separation.

Skill content
ops/ files contain ZERO actual costs, token counts, or user data ... status.recent_errors.map(e => `- ${e.command}: ${e.error || 'unknown error'}`)
Recommendation

Keep ops/health.md to high-level indicators only, move command/error details to the private state reports, and redact or require opt-in before writing error messages to interchange files.

What this means

If the local sibling interchange module is missing, outdated, or tampered with, report generation could fail or behave differently from what this skill’s artifacts show.

Why it was flagged

The refresh path depends on a sibling module outside the provided skill manifest and package.json dependencies. This appears purpose-aligned for OpenClaw interchange generation, but it means refresh executes code not reviewed in this artifact set.

Skill content
import { writeMd } from '../../interchange/src/index.js';
Recommendation

Use a declared, pinned package or include the helper in the reviewed artifact set, and verify the local OpenClaw interchange module before running refresh.

What this means

A mistaken restore could overwrite the local monitoring history used for reports.

Why it was flagged

The restore command explicitly copies a selected backup over the monitoring database. This is a disclosed backup/restore feature, but it is a persistent data mutation without an in-code confirmation step.

Skill content
const dest = dbPath || DEFAULT_DB_PATH; ... fs.copyFileSync(backupPath, dest);
Recommendation

Only run restore after confirming the backup file and keep a current backup before replacing the monitoring database.
