ClawAudit verdict
minimal-agent
Explicitly documents that V1/text mode has 'no restrictions' and can execute 'any system command' including file modification, script execution, network operations, and database operations, which is unusually broad capability beyond the stated OS control purpose.
โ Flagged for review โ coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
