ClawAudit verdict
auto-memory
permanent-memory
Stores agent memory as linked-list chains on the Autonomys decentralized network using an explicit user-provided API key; uploading user-consented data to a declared storage service is legitimate and transparent.
⚠ 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.

Possible hardcoded credential
