Openclaw Security Policy Check

What This Skill Does

The OpenClaw Security Policy Check is a specialized automation tool designed for the OpenClaw gateway ecosystem. Developed by asantssec, this skill serves as an automated security auditor that scans your local gateway configuration against industry best practices. It identifies common misconfigurations, such as insecure network bindings, weak authentication tokens, and permissive execution settings. By running a deep audit, the tool helps administrators proactively harden their environment against potential unauthorized access and exploitation, ensuring that your OpenClaw deployment adheres to a zero-trust security architecture.

Installation

To integrate this security tool into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/asantssec/openclaw-security-policy-check

Ensure that you have the OpenClaw CLI tool installed and configured in your system path, as the audit script relies on these underlying commands to perform its deep scan and security validation routines.

Use Cases

• Periodic Security Auditing: Schedule the agent to run regular audits to ensure configuration drift does not compromise your gateway over time.
• Pre-Deployment Hardening: Before exposing an OpenClaw gateway to a production network, run the tool to identify and fix critical flaws.
• Automated Compliance Verification: Use the audit results to generate reports that verify your system meets internal security standards for administrative interfaces and execution permissions.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please run a security audit on my current configuration and list all detected risks."
2. "Perform a deep security scan of my OpenClaw gateway and generate a report of recommended fixes."
3. "Check if my OpenClaw gateway configuration matches the secure standards for token strength and bind address settings."

Tips & Limitations

• Backup Before Changes: Always perform a manual backup of ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json before applying any automated fixes suggested by the tool.
• Restart Required: Be aware that many security configuration changes, particularly those regarding authentication tokens, require a full gateway restart to take effect.
• Scope: This tool focuses on gateway configuration files and internal CLI-based execution policies; it does not replace external network-level firewalls or infrastructure-level security monitoring. Ensure the system user running the audit has appropriate file-read permissions for the OpenClaw configuration directory.
