Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documented messaging protocol, but its OpenClaw integration needs Review because it routes remote peer messages into recurring agent processing with weak guardrails.

Install only if you are comfortable with a background messaging daemon and remote peers writing text that your agent will later read. Before enabling the OpenClaw HEARTBEAT integration, add explicit rules that inbox messages are untrusted data, cannot override system/developer/user instructions, should be quoted or summarized safely, and should not trigger replies or actions without approval from trusted peers.
