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.

Capability combination critical

Reads local files AND makes external network calls — the capabilities for data exfiltration co-occur (data-flow not verified)
