Openclaw Plugin

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only skill for helping users build OpenClaw plugins, with credential and plugin-power risks disclosed enough to handle through normal caution.

Install this if you want help creating OpenClaw plugins. Review any generated plugin code and manifests before enabling them, keep side-effect tools optional or explicitly allowed, and store real API keys or bot tokens outside source-controlled files whenever possible.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

91% confidence
Finding
The documentation shows an `openclaw.yml` example containing plaintext bot tokens directly in configuration without any nearby warning to use environment variables, secret stores, or redaction. In a plugin-creation skill, readers are likely to copy this example verbatim, which can lead to credentials being committed to source control, shared in chat, or exposed in logs and screenshots.
