TOSR Publish Then Update Test

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a clearly disclosed ephemeral ClawHub lifecycle test skill, not a hidden or general-purpose destructive tool.

Install or run this only if you intend to exercise the real ClawHub API with a test skill. It can create, update, and delete a remote skill as part of cleanup, so use an appropriate test account or token and avoid treating it as a normal end-user skill.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly states it performs live publish, update, and delete operations against the real API, but it does not present a clear safety warning, confirmation requirement, or scope limitation for modifying remote resources. In an agent setting, this can cause unintended changes to external systems if a user or operator does not realize the skill is destructive and non-read-only.

Autonomous Decision Making

Excessive Agency

## Notes

This skill is ephemeral and will be automatically deleted after the test completes.
If you see this skill listed on clawhub, it means a test run failed to clean up properly.
