ClawAudit verdict
nova-act-usability
Writes files AND executes processes
AWS Nova Act usability testing skill that reads a local API key config, runs browser automation tests, and writes results to local directories; all file and process operations are transparent and serve the stated testing purpose.
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.
Writes files AND executes processes — may drop and execute malicious scripts
