Security audit

Agent Task Status

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed local audit helper that reads OpenClaw agent transcripts to summarize assignment and report status.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the skill inspect local OpenClaw agent session transcripts. Prefer explicit --agents and --base values, use --tail when a full transcript scan is unnecessary, and write --output-file only to a location appropriate for potentially sensitive assignment/report excerpts.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Finding

The skill instructs users to run a local Python script that inspects agent session indexes and transcript files, implying file reads, environment-dependent path resolution, and optional file output, yet the manifest declares no explicit tool scope or permissions. This creates an authorization/visibility gap: downstream systems or reviewers cannot tell from the skill header that it accesses potentially sensitive transcript data and writes results to disk.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The file defines default field labels in Chinese and later uses a Chinese assignment keyword by default, which creates a language-specific behavior without explicit user opt-in. This is a natural-language policy concern because the skill defaults to a specific locale rather than presenting a neutral default or prompting for language selection.

Finding

The default value for --assign-keyword is the Chinese phrase "正式任务分配:", which means the script assumes a specific language and transcript format unless the user overrides it. Because the file does not document a region-specific justification or require opt-in, this is a language/locale policy violation.

Finding

The description includes only Chinese example requests for invoking the skill's use cases, which may imply a language-specific interaction pattern without explicitly offering user language choice. The file does not state that other languages are equally supported or that Chinese is optional.
