Caveat verdict
openclaw-docker-setup
Receives external input AND executes processes
Docker setup guide that runs local shell scripts and docker commands to configure a containerized OpenClaw instance; all operations are transparent, local, and match the stated installation purpose.

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.

Why the tier is capped
Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class 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.
