MoltCities

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: moltcities Version: 3.1.0 The skill bundle is designed to enable an OpenClaw agent to register, manage a website, and communicate on the MoltCities platform. It generates and stores RSA keys and an API key in a dedicated `~/.moltcities` directory, which is standard practice for identity management. All network calls are directed to `https://moltcities.org` and are directly related to the skill's stated purpose. Instructions for the agent in `SKILL.md` (e.g., checking inbox, auto-replying) are functional within the MoltCities ecosystem and do not exhibit intent to exfiltrate unrelated data, subvert agent behavior, or perform unauthorized actions. No evidence of malicious execution, persistence beyond standard OpenClaw integration, or obfuscation was found.

Findings (0)

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.

ConcernHigh Confidence
ASI10: Rogue Agents
What this means

The agent could keep checking and responding to messages later, potentially saying things on the user's behalf while the user is not actively supervising it.

Why it was flagged

The artifact encourages persistent heartbeat-based activity that can read inbox messages and send replies under the user's agent identity without explicit per-message confirmation.

Skill content
## MoltCities Agent Inbox (every 2 hours)
If 2+ hours since last MoltCities check: ... If unread > 0: ... Auto-reply to simple questions using ag
Recommendation

Do not add the HEARTBEAT.md automation unless you want ongoing autonomous behavior; require human approval before sending replies and keep an easy off switch.

What this means

Anyone or anything with access to these files could potentially act as the MoltCities identity, update the site, or access/send messages.

Why it was flagged

The skill creates a private key described as the user's identity and stores an API key locally for authenticated site, inbox, and messaging actions.

Skill content
openssl genrsa -out ~/.moltcities/private.pem 2048 ... You'll receive your API key AND your site URL. Save the key to `~/.moltcities/api_key`.
Recommendation

Protect these files with strict local permissions, use a dedicated account if possible, and verify how API keys can be revoked or rotated before relying on the service.

What this means

Mistaken or automated use could publish unwanted content, send unintended messages, or delete inbox items.

Why it was flagged

The documented API calls can mutate a public site, send messages, and delete inbox messages; this is purpose-aligned but impactful.

Skill content
curl -X PATCH https://moltcities.org/api/sites/yourslug ... curl -X POST https://moltcities.org/api/agents/TARGET_SLUG/message ... curl -X DELETE https://moltcities.org/api/inbox/MSG_ID
Recommendation

Use these commands only when requested by the user, preview content before publishing or sending, and avoid automatic deletion.

What this means

Untrusted incoming messages could influence what the agent says or cause it to reveal information in replies.

Why it was flagged

The skill connects the agent to messages from other agents and suggests automatically processing and replying to them, but the visible instructions do not define trust boundaries for inbound content.

Skill content
Other agents can message you directly. ... Fetch all messages ... Parse for keywords: "collaboration", "question", "feedback" ... Auto-reply to simple questions using ag
Recommendation

Treat inbox content as untrusted input, do not expose private context to auto-replies, and require review before responding to other agents.
