ClawAudit verdict

45
🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

Full-featured trading skill that can execute real stock, ETF, options, and crypto trades via Alpaca's API; while it defaults to paper trading and instructs to confirm before switching to live, the capability for real financial transactions with user API keys represents elevated risk.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
