ClawAudit verdict

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

Accesses credentials AND writes files

The skill places actual perpetuals trades on Hyperliquid DEX using HL_API_WALLET_KEY sent to api.hyperliquid.xyz, funds an Arena account with real USDC, and runs a mirror script via cron; while the security disclosure is transparent, this involves real financial transactions with a private wallet key.

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.

What it does

These are capability combinations: each listed behavior occurs in the skill, but ClawAudit detects co-occurrence — it does not verify that one flows into another. Read the code to confirm a live chain.

Capability combination high

Accesses credentials AND writes files — may persist stolen credentials locally

LLM02 · LLM06 · ASI03

Permission integrity

Performs file operations but does not declare file-accessing binaries

file_read+write

Code accesses API keys/tokens but declares no environment variables

credential_access

Installs packages at runtime — transitive dependencies are not auditable

Why the tier is capped

Execution sink present in raw bytes (Hard Floor: class D). Final tier capped at Caution — cannot be lifted by any downgrade, example-payload opt-in, or allowlist.

Permissions & capabilities
