ClawAudit verdict

88
🟢 Trusted
Low risk — reviewed by ClawAudit, behavior matches stated purpose

While the skill auto-installs several dependencies on first use, this is transparently documented and serves the legitimate purpose of running a local SearXNG instance; no exfiltration or malicious behavior is present, though the broad auto-install behavior is worth user awareness.

⚠ 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.
