Manifest

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Manifest is a coherent OpenClaw routing and observability skill, with expected cost/token monitoring behavior and no artifact evidence of malware or deception.

Install in local mode for evaluation or sensitive work. If enabling cloud mode, review Manifest's privacy/security documentation and confirm what usage, token, cost, routing, and health metadata is transmitted or retained.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases include broad, conversational terms such as "costs" and especially "money burned," which can plausibly appear in ordinary dialogue unrelated to explicitly requesting this tool. In an agent setting, overly broad triggers can cause unintended invocation of monitoring tools, exposing usage or cost metadata when the user did not clearly ask for it and creating surprising behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The cloud setup instructs users to configure an external API key and use a hosted service, but it does not clearly warn that usage, token, cost, and health telemetry may be transmitted to a third-party platform. In a routing and observability plugin, that omission is security-relevant because users may unknowingly send operational metadata off-host, affecting privacy, compliance, and data-governance expectations.
