Reads local files AND makes external network calls
Build-and-deploy guide for OpenClaw Telegram bots covering MEDIA protocol, Docker deployment, and security hardening; all capabilities (credential_access for API keys, network for Telegram API) serve the legitimate bot deployment 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.
Reads local files AND makes external network calls — the capabilities for data exfiltration co-occur (data-flow not verified)
