Caveat verdict
brave-search-setup
Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls
Setup and proxy configuration skill for Brave Search that reads system proxy ports and modifies OpenClaw config; all operations are user-initiated configuration changes with no credential exfiltration or deceptive behavior.
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.

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class F). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
Permissions & capabilities
No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
