Payclaw Io Pub

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: payclaw-io Version: 0.7.1 The payclaw-io skill provides a legitimate framework for AI agent identity (Badge) and single-use virtual payments (Spend) via the PayClaw platform. It utilizes a standard MCP server configuration executed via npx (@payclaw/mcp-server) and communicates with a dedicated API (api.payclaw.io). The instructions and tool definitions are consistent with the stated purpose of facilitating authorized commerce, including built-in human-in-the-loop approval for transactions and no evidence of data exfiltration or malicious prompt injection.

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.

What this means

A changing or compromised npm package could affect the agent component that handles identity and payment actions.

Why it was flagged

The skill delegates its runtime behavior to an npm package fetched/executed by npx without a pinned version; the provided artifact set contains no implementation code to verify the payment and consent-key behavior.

Skill content
"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@payclaw/mcp-server"]
Recommendation

Install only if you trust the publisher and package provenance; prefer a pinned version, reviewed source, and a reproducible install path for payment-related tools.

What this means

A stored consent credential tied to payment capabilities could allow future payment-related actions if it is mishandled or if the MCP server behaves unexpectedly.

Why it was flagged

The skill creates persistent delegated authorization for a service that can issue payment cards, but the artifacts do not define the key's storage location, scope, lifetime, or revocation process.

Skill content
Approve on your phone in one tap — your Consent Key is stored automatically.
Recommendation

Before using, confirm where the Consent Key is stored, how to revoke it, what spending limits apply, and whether every card request requires fresh human approval.

What this means

If an agent calls the payment tool at the wrong time or with wrong details, it could initiate an unintended payment flow.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes a tool for obtaining a virtual Visa card; this is central to the stated purpose and is disclosed, but it is a high-impact action that should remain user-approved.

Skill content
`payclaw_getCard` | Declare purchase intent → get single-use virtual Visa (Spend)
Recommendation

Use this only with agents configured to ask for clear confirmation before purchase or card issuance.

What this means

PayClaw may receive information about merchants you visit through the agent and purchases you ask the agent to make.

Why it was flagged

The MCP server is configured to communicate with PayClaw's external API; this is expected for the service, but merchant identity, purchase intent, and transaction outcome data may be sent there.

Skill content
"env": { "PAYCLAW_API_URL": "https://api.payclaw.io" }
Recommendation

Review PayClaw's privacy, retention, and audit policies before sending real merchant or purchase data.
