🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Writes files AND executes processes

Credential consolidation skill that scans for scattered API keys and centralizes them in ~/.openclaw/.env with proper permissions; credential_access and file operations are for the legitimate security-improving purpose of consolidating credentials.

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.

Capability combination critical

Writes files AND executes processes — may drop and execute malicious scripts

LLM05 · LLM06 · ASI05

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND writes files — may persist stolen credentials locally

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Capability combination medium

Both reads and writes files — verify scope is limited to intended directories

LLM06 · ASI02

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class B/D). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities

No declared permissions — minimal attack surface.
