SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users understand and evaluate the permissions requested by OpenClaw skills, preventing the accidental granting of excessive access and potential security risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Permission Explanation: Clearly defines what each OpenClaw permission type (fileRead, fileWrite, network, shell) allows and the associated risks.
  • Risk Assessment: Identifies dangerous permission combinations and flags over-privileged skills.
  • Minimal Privilege Guidance: Suggests the least amount of access a skill truly needs to perform its function.
  • Use Case: Before installing a new skill, use this auditor to ensure it's not requesting network access when it only needs to read local files, thus protecting your system from potential data exfiltration.

Quick Start

Analyze the permissions for the 'data-exporter' skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about permission-auditor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What do OpenClaw skill permissions like fileWrite and network access actually allow?▼

OpenClaw skill permissions define specific access levels: fileRead and fileWrite control local file system access, network allows external communication, and shell grants command execution. Understanding these permission types is essential to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration or system modifications.

How do I audit skill permissions to identify over-privileged OpenClaw skills?▼

To audit skill permissions, analyze the requested fileRead, fileWrite, network, and shell access for each skill. Evaluate the necessity of these permissions against the skill's function to identify dangerous combinations and recommend a minimal permission set for safe operation.

When should I perform a risk assessment on OpenClaw skill permissions?▼

Perform a risk assessment on OpenClaw skill permissions before installing any new skill. This prevents accidentally granting excessive access, such as network permissions for a skill that only needs local fileRead capabilities, thereby protecting your system from potential security risks.

How can I determine the minimal privilege set for an OpenClaw skill?▼

Determine the minimal privilege set by evaluating what the skill truly needs to function, stripping unnecessary fileRead, fileWrite, network, or shell access. This process involves analyzing the skill's core task and recommending the least amount of access required to mitigate security risks.
