Caveat verdict

clawdown

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls

A game competition skill (poker/guess-the-number) for USDC bounties on clawdown.xyz; API key is stored locally in ~/.clawdown/api_key, the skill explicitly warns against putting keys in context, and all network calls go to the documented clawdown.xyz game service.

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.
