- Immediately explain that this is the operator hot wallet for AI only. - Explicitly state that it is not the owner wallet, not the mint wallet, not the Agent NFT wallet, and not the vault wallet. - Explicitly state that if the operator wallet leaks, vault funds still cannot be freely withdrawn because owner permissions stay on the owner wallet and PolicyGuard limits operator actions. - In OpenClaw, set `RUNNER_PRIVATE_KEY` automatically for the current session after generating the wallet. Do not ask the user to set the environment variable manually. 2. Verify gas: - Ensure the operator wallet has a small BNB balance for gas.

- Finding
- The skill directs the AI to automatically set RUNNER_PRIVATE_KEY for the current session instead of requiring an explicit user-managed secret handling step. Even though this is framed as convenience in OpenClaw, automatic secret ingestion and session configuration increases the chance of unintended key exposure, misuse, or execution with a sensitive credential without sufficiently explicit user control.
