ClawAudit verdict
serper-clone
Accesses credentials AND makes external network calls
Self-hosted search API skill reading API credentials from a local file and making requests to the user own infrastructure; file_write is for saving the API key config locally.
Automated static analysis โ not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
