Configure Tools

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill gives guidance for configuring OpenClaw tool access and exec security, and its sensitive behavior is disclosed and aligned with that purpose.

Install only if you want an agent to help configure OpenClaw tool and exec policies. Review any generated config changes before applying them, prefer least-privilege profiles for non-main agents, and be especially careful with settings that grant full gateway exec access or turn approvals off.

Vulnerability Patterns

Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
