Maxclaw Helper 1.1.0

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a help guide for MaxClaw/OpenClaw and does not install code or change files by itself, though it may activate for broad help questions.

Finding

The skill’s activation criteria and trigger words are extremely broad, covering common phrases like 'how to', 'can I', 'setup', and 'help me'. This can cause the skill to activate for a wide range of unrelated user requests, increasing unintended routing, over-collection of context, and the chance that this skill overrides more appropriate or safer skills during decision making.
