Agent Deployment

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent instruction-only deployment skill for setting up OpenClaw, with ordinary setup risks that users should handle carefully.

Before installing, inspect the remote nvm install script, confirm the OpenClaw npm package is the expected one, keep gateway tokens private, leave the gateway bound to localhost unless you intentionally secure remote access, and avoid putting secrets or sensitive personal data in USER.md or other workspace markdown files.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to start a local gateway and references a token, but it does not warn users to keep the token secret, limit binding to localhost, or avoid exposing the service to other hosts. In a deployment skill, omission of these safeguards can lead to accidental credential leakage or unauthorized access to the agent gateway.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
79% confidence
Finding
The workspace initialization instructs users to record personal information and preferences in USER.md without any privacy or data-minimization warning. This can cause operators to store sensitive personal data in plaintext workspaces that may later be synced, shared, or exposed to other agents.
