ClawAudit verdict

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

Accesses system credential store AND makes external network calls

The skill installs Tailscale via `curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh` and installs nvm via `curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash`, both classic curl-pipe-shell patterns; it also pipes the ANTHROPIC_TOKEN secret directly via stdin to a remote SSH session, creating meaningful supply-chain and credential-exposure risk even though the setup is for the user's own GCP VM.

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.

What it does

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

Capability combination critical

Accesses system credential store AND makes external network calls

LLM02 · ASI03

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls — potential credential theft

LLM02 · ASI03

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

network_out

Code accesses API keys/tokens but declares no environment variables

credential_access

Installs packages at runtime — transitive dependencies are not auditable

package_install

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B). 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.
