ClawAudit verdict
ggshield-scanner
Accesses credentials AND writes files
Wraps GitGuardian's ggshield CLI to scan repos and files for hardcoded secrets before they reach git; the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY is used for the scanning service itself, not for exfiltration, and the purpose is defensive security.
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/D/F). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.
