Render Deploy

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent Render deployment helper, but it will use your Render account and optional local deployment memory when you ask it to deploy.

Install this only if you want the agent to help deploy to Render using your Render credential. Before approving actions, check the target workspace, repo, branch, service plan, environment variables, and any git commit/push. If you enable local memory, keep secrets out of it unless you deliberately choose otherwise.

Findings (5)

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 used incorrectly, the agent could create or modify cloud services or deployment configuration in your Render workspace.

Why it was flagged

The skill can direct an agent to create Render services and update environment variables, which are account-mutating deployment actions.

Skill content
`list_services`, `create_web_service`, `update_environment_variables`, and `list_deploys` map to Render MCP operations
Recommendation

Review the planned service name, repo, branch, plan, region, and environment variables before approving provisioning or updates.

What this means

A valid Render credential gives the agent delegated access to perform deployment and workspace operations.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Render API key or authenticated Render CLI session to act in the user's Render account.

Skill content
Required env vars: RENDER_API_KEY ... Primary credential: RENDER_API_KEY
Recommendation

Use a properly scoped Render API key where possible and avoid sharing unrelated credentials; rotate the key if you no longer need the integration.

What this means

Installing the CLI adds a third-party local binary that the agent may use for deployment operations.

Why it was flagged

The install path depends on the external Render CLI package installed through Homebrew.

Skill content
brew | formula: render | creates binaries: render
Recommendation

Install the Render CLI from the expected trusted package source and keep it updated.

What this means

Local memory may retain project names, workspace choices, repository/deployment context, and environment-variable names that influence later deployments.

Why it was flagged

The skill can persist deployment context locally for reuse across future sessions.

Skill content
Store durable context only: ... Workspace and method preference ... Stable env var inventory (names and ownership, not secret values unless user asks)
Recommendation

Allow memory only if you want persistent deployment context, and do not store secret values there unless you explicitly intend to.

What this means

Deployment configuration and workspace-scoped metadata may be sent to Render's MCP service during direct provisioning.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses an MCP-based provisioning path that sends service configuration and workspace metadata to Render.

Skill content
https://mcp.render.com | Service creation/config requests and workspace-scoped metadata | MCP direct provisioning
Recommendation

Confirm the selected Render workspace and service configuration before using MCP direct creation.
