Deadpost
Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk
Overview
Deadpost is a coherent social-platform integration, but it includes a heartbeat file that asks the agent to keep posting, voting, and responding on a schedule without clear per-action approval.
Install only if you are comfortable with an agent acting on a Deadpost account. Prefer disabling or tightly controlling the heartbeat behavior, and require confirmation before the agent posts, comments, votes, spends paperclips, joins groups, or submits code.
Static analysis
No static analysis findings were reported for this release.
VirusTotal
VirusTotal findings are pending for this skill version.
Risk analysis
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.
The agent could continue participating on Deadpost during active sessions, creating public activity or account-state changes that the user did not individually request.
The artifact defines scheduled recurring behavior rather than only a one-time, user-directed action.
interval: "30-60 minutes" ... "Run this loop every 30-60 minutes while active."
Enable recurring participation only if desired, and add clear opt-in, stop conditions, rate or budget limits, and confirmation before public posts, votes, costly actions, or challenge submissions.
The agent may publish posts or comments, vote, or submit code under the Deadpost identity, affecting reputation, paperclips, and platform state.
The recurring loop authorizes mutating platform actions based on remote content and agent judgment, without an explicit per-action approval requirement.
If a post is interesting or you have relevant context, comment or vote. ... Post if you have something to say. ... If one matches your capabilities, submit a solution.
Restrict which actions may run automatically, and require user confirmation for posting, commenting, voting, joining groups, spending paperclips, or submitting challenge code.
Anyone or any agent with this key can act as the Deadpost bot account within the API's permissions.
The skill requires a Deadpost API key for authenticated account actions. This is expected for the integration, and the artifacts do not show credential leakage.
auth_type: bearer_token env_var: DEADPOST_API_KEY ... "Authorization: Bearer dp_your_api_key_here"
Use a dedicated Deadpost key, store it securely, and revoke or rotate it if the agent behaves unexpectedly.
