Caveat verdict

watchclaw

🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Self-hosted OpenClaw gateway watchdog that monitors health and auto-recovers via git operations; the curl pipe bash install from GitHub is the openly documented method for the open-source tool with no secret exfiltration.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

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.
