In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to vet an extension before installation, scan installed extensions, inspect suspicious behavior, check setup security, review text for injection, or manage trust entries.
Why use it?
It helps assess whether third-party components or messages contain threats before they are trusted or installed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (index.ts, src/cli-wrapper.ts, src/openclaw-sdk.d.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vexscan Security Scanner

Scans extensions, skills, and code for security threats: prompt injection, malicious code, obfuscation, data exfiltration. Also scans inbound messages for injection patterns automatically.

Use it when:

  • User wants to install a new extension or skill
  • User asks about security of their setup
  • User mentions suspicious behavior from an extension
  • User wants to audit installed extensions
  • User asks about or wants to manage trust decisions
  • Before recommending any third-party extension

Action routing

User intent Action
"Install this extension from GitHub" install — vets then installs
"Is this extension safe?" vet — scan without installing
"Is my setup secure?" scan — scan all extensions
"This extension is acting weird" scan on that extension's path
"Check this text for injection" check — stdin text scanning (not yet exposed as tool action; use /check slash command)
"What's trusted?" / "Show trust entries" trust_list
"Stop trusting X" trust_revoke

Install (vet + install in one step)

Always prefer install over vet when the user wants to add an extension.

{ "action": "install", "source": "https://github.com/user/extension" }

Success: { "ok": true, "action": "installed", "findings": 0, "message": "..." } Blocked: { "ok": false, "action": "install_blocked", "verdict": "high_risk", "findings": 3, "maxSeverity": "high", "reason": "..." }

Severity gates

Max severity Default Override
Critical Blocked Cannot override
High Blocked "allowHigh": true
Medium Blocked "force": true
Low / Info Allowed —

Never set allowHigh or force without explaining the risks to the user first.

Scan

{ "action": "scan", "path": "~/.openclaw/extensions" }

Path defaults to ~/.openclaw/extensions if omitted. Returns findings count, max severity, and breakdown by severity level.

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
