PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a transparent, instruction-only Little Snitch helper, but it can guide root-level firewall changes, so users should approve sensitive actions deliberately.

Use this only if you intentionally want AI help operating Little Snitch on macOS. Verify the official Little Snitch CLI is installed, treat sudo prompts as sensitive, prefer read-only log/status checks first, back up configuration before changes, and confirm any profile, rule group, preference, restore, or traffic-capture command before running it.

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

If run unintentionally, these commands could weaken firewall rules, change security preferences, restore an older configuration, or collect traffic data.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents privileged operations that can change firewall behavior or inspect traffic. This is central to Little Snitch control and is disclosed, but misuse could affect system network protections.

Skill content
`profile` | Yes | Activate/deactivate profiles ... `write-preference` | Yes | Write a preference value ... `restore-model` | Yes | Restore from backup ... `capture-traffic` | Yes | Capture process traffic
Recommendation

Use read-only log/status commands first and require explicit user confirmation before sudo, disabling profiles or rule groups, writing preferences, restoring models, or capturing traffic.

What this means

Granting sudo allows system-level Little Snitch changes that can affect how the Mac blocks or allows network connections.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on root privileges for several firewall-management actions. That privilege level is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it crosses an important local permission boundary.

Skill content
Many commands require `sudo` (root access)
Recommendation

Only enter a sudo password when you intentionally requested the specific firewall change, and prefer scoped commands over broad actions like deactivating all profiles.

What this means

Users may need to verify they are using the official Little Snitch CLI on macOS rather than relying on registry metadata to enforce compatibility.

Why it was flagged

The skill is instruction-only, so there is no package code to install, but the metadata does not declare the macOS-only environment or the required `littlesnitch` CLI dependency.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none ... OS restriction: none ... Required binaries ... none
Recommendation

Declare macOS and the `littlesnitch` command as requirements, and verify Little Snitch CLI setup against the official Objective Development documentation.
