Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01695 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00847 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00339 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
openclaw-security scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d ago.
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.
Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
chmod 700 ~/.openclaw # user only Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
OpenClaw Security
Guide the user through security auditing, hardening, secrets management, and incident response.
Trust model: OpenClaw is a personal assistant — one trusted operator boundary per gateway. It is not a hostile multi-tenant security boundary. For mixed-trust users, split trust boundaries (separate gateways, ideally separate OS users/hosts).
Security Audit
openclaw security audit # Standard audit
openclaw security audit --deep # Deep audit with live Gateway probe
openclaw security audit --fix # Auto-fix supported findings
openclaw security audit --json # Machine-readable output
What It Checks
- Inbound access — DM policies, group policies, allowlists
- Tool blast radius — elevated tools + open rooms
- Network exposure — Gateway bind/auth, Tailscale, weak tokens
- Browser control — remote nodes, relay ports, CDP endpoints
- Disk hygiene — permissions, symlinks, config includes
- Plugins — extensions without explicit allowlist
- Policy drift — sandbox config but mode off, runtime expectation drift
- Model hygiene — legacy/small models with tool access
Severity Levels
| Severity | Action |
|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Fix immediately — active exposure |
| WARNING | Fix soon — potential risk |
| INFO | Informational — best practice suggestion |
File Permissions
Keep config and state private:
chmod 700 ~/.openclaw # user only
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json # user read/write only
openclaw doctor warns and can fix permissions automatically.
Network Security
Gateway Bind Modes
| Mode | Listens On | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
loopback (default) |
127.0.0.1 |
Local-only, most secure |
lan |
All interfaces | LAN access (needs auth) |
tailscale |
Tailscale interface | VPN-secured remote access |
Gateway Authentication
{
gateway: {
auth: {
mode: "token", // "token" | "password" | "none"
token: "${OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN}",
},
},
}
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

openclaw-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheophilusChinomona/claude-openclaw-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,695 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
