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

This skill automates real financial transactions through E*TRADE using a BROKER_API_KEY, executing trades based on congressional disclosure data; while transparent about its purpose, automated real-money trading constitutes genuine elevated-risk capability.

⚠ 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.
