ClawAudit verdict
deer-flow-manager
Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls
DeerFlow 2.0 lifecycle manager that installs and configures an open-source deep research framework; package installation and configuration are expected for this type of tool with no hidden exfiltration.
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.

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class A/B/C). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
