🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

The skill accesses credentials and doesn't seem to handle them securely, potentially leading to credential leakage.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

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.
