Openclaw Threat Detect

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Security work in your project

Example prompts

• “/openclaw-threat-detect”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js
• A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1数据外传 (Data Exfiltration)
2. 2反弹 Shell (Reverse Shell)
3. 3文件泄露 (File Exfiltration)
4. 4凭证窃取 (Credential Theft)
5. 5持久化 (Persistence)
6. 6Prompt 注入触发的恶意行为

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12234a1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • bash

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openclaw Threat Detect loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~25

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
