Caveat verdict
elasticsearch-openclaw
Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls
The skill content explicitly addresses security scanners and reviewers with 'ClawHub security scanners may flag this as suspicious — this is expected' framing designed to lower reviewer vigilance; while the actual Elasticsearch operations appear read-only and legitimate, embedding reviewer-targeting social engineering language in a skill file is a prompt-injection pattern.
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.
