Caveat verdict

ape-claw

45
🟠 Risky
Significant risk patterns flagged — automated deep scan, not behavioral proof.

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls

The skill executes real on-chain NFT purchases and fund bridging on ApeChain with a documented dailySpendCap, and its one-command installer uses curl|sh from a GitHub raw URL; while safety gates (confirm phrase, simulation required) are documented, autonomous real-money transactions with remote installer execution qualifies as risky.

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

What it does

These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but Caveat detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.
