configure OpenClaw

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a broad but disclosed OpenClaw configuration helper that requires user approval before changing the config.

Install this only if you want an assistant to help edit OpenClaw configuration. Review every proposed patch carefully before approving changes, especially for auth, env, hooks, plugins, commands, gateway, browser, sandbox, skills, or any suggested auto-repair command.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill description is extremely broad and can match almost any request related to configuration, startup failures, or unknown fields. That increases the chance this skill is invoked in situations outside its narrow safe scope, which can lead to inappropriate file-edit guidance or unintended modification of sensitive OpenClaw settings.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to fetch live documentation when a field is unfamiliar, but it does not require notifying the user that a network request will occur. In a configuration skill, silent external fetches can leak usage context or environment details and violate user expectations in privacy-sensitive deployments.
