Ahrefs

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 13, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ahrefs-seo Version: 0.1.1 The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to perform SEO research using Ahrefs via the ClawLink integration service (claw-link.dev). It follows a standard OAuth-like pairing flow and uses dynamic tool discovery through the 'clawlink-plugin'. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection were found; the instructions include explicit safety rules such as requiring user confirmation for writes and protecting credentials.

Findings (0)

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

Using this skill requires trusting and installing the ClawLink plugin in addition to the instruction-only skill.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on a separate plugin that is not part of this artifact set. The install is user-directed and purpose-aligned, but users should recognize that the reviewed skill does not include the plugin's code.

Skill content
Install the verified ClawLink plugin: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`
Recommendation

Install the ClawLink plugin only from the expected ClawHub source and review its own permissions or verification information before use.

What this means

ClawLink will be able to act through the connected Ahrefs integration according to the permissions the user grants.

Why it was flagged

The skill delegates Ahrefs access and credential handling to ClawLink. This is expected for the integration, but it involves account authorization and provider permissions.

Skill content
ClawLink ... handles hosted connection flows and credentials so you don't need to configure Ahrefs API access yourself.
Recommendation

Grant only the Ahrefs access needed, review the connected scopes or account permissions in ClawLink, and disconnect the integration if it is no longer needed.

What this means

Some connected tools may be able to change external account data if the user's Ahrefs/ClawLink permissions allow it.

Why it was flagged

The skill may expose dynamic Ahrefs tools that can include write or account-changing operations. The instructions add preview and confirmation controls, making this a purpose-aligned note rather than a concern.

Skill content
For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call `clawlink_preview_tool` first, then confirm with the user.
Recommendation

Review previews carefully and only approve write, bulk, destructive, or external-facing actions that match your request.

What this means

Credentialed integration requests will go through ClawLink rather than directly from the skill to Ahrefs.

Why it was flagged

The artifact discloses a data boundary between the local OpenClaw plugin and the ClawLink service. This is normal integration plumbing, but users should understand that credentialed tool calls depend on that external gateway.

Skill content
The resulting device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw's plugin config and is only sent to `claw-link.dev`.
Recommendation

Use the provided ClawLink verification and documentation links to confirm the service and avoid pasting raw credentials into chat.
