Caveat verdict

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

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.

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

Receives external input AND executes processes — the shape of a command & control channel

LLM05 · LLM06 · ASI10

Capability combination high

Executes processes AND makes external network calls — may exfiltrate command output

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Permission integrity

Makes network requests but does not declare curl/wget in required binaries

Findings (6)

Pattern match high

HTTP request to bare IP address — common in malicious payloads

SKILL.md · code · http://127.0.0.1

Pattern match high

subprocess execution — runs system commands from Python

SKILL.md · code · subprocess.run(

Pattern match high

Accesses OpenClaw config/secrets directly

SKILL.md · code · ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

Pattern match high

Pipe to python — executes piped content as Python code

SKILL.md · prose · downgraded · | Python

Pattern match medium

Instructs covert action — may act without user awareness

references/gmail-setup.md · prose · downgraded · silently

Pattern match medium

Accesses system credential store

references/google-drive-setup.md · prose · downgraded · Keychain

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.
