ClawAudit verdict
tox-tunnel-ops
This skill provides legitimate network tunneling configuration guidance using the Tox P2P protocol for NAT traversal; all documented use cases (SSH, RDP, database access, homelab) are standard sysadmin/remote-access scenarios with no exfiltration or malicious behavior.
⚠ 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.
