zugashield

zugashield is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zuga-Technologies/ZugaShield. It costs 61 tokens per session (659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security scanner for OpenClaw, an AI assistant platform, that checks messages, tool calls, recalled memories, responses, and startup files. It detects threats such as prompt injection, command injection, secret leaks, memory poisoning, and path traversal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan Signal, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and web traffic through the OpenClaw gateway, then check its connection status.
Why use it?
It helps block malicious instructions, unsafe tool use, data leaks, tampered models, and other attacks across OpenClaw's connected channels.

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

zugashield 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 14 executable files (src/commands/report.ts, src/commands/status.ts, src/config.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.

ZugaShield Security Scanner

7-layer AI security scanning plugin for OpenClaw. Protects all channels simultaneously by hooking into the Gateway — the single chokepoint for all traffic.

What It Blocks

Attack Hook Detection
Prompt injection preRequest 150+ signatures, TF-IDF ML (88.7% recall), unicode smuggling, encoding evasion
SSRF / Command injection preToolExecution Cloud metadata URLs, shell metacharacters (always fail-closed)
Secret / PII leakage preResponse API keys, tokens, credentials, high-entropy strings
Memory poisoning preRecall Embedded instructions, sleeper payloads in recalled memories
DNS exfiltration preResponse High-entropy subdomains, data-in-DNS patterns
Path traversal preToolExecution Directory traversal sequences, symlink attacks
Supply chain attacks startup SHA-256 model verification, canary validation, version pinning

Install

pip install "zugashield[mcp]"
npm install zugashield-openclaw-plugin
openclaw plugins install ./node_modules/zugashield-openclaw-plugin
openclaw restart

Verify

/shield status

Should show: CONNECTED with 7 active layers.

Configuration

In openclaw.json under plugins.entries.openclaw-plugin.config:

  • fail_closed (default: true) — Block requests when scanner is down
  • strict_mode (default: false) — Block medium+ threats (not just high/critical)
  • scan.inputs / scan.outputs / scan.tool_calls / scan.memory — Toggle individual hooks

How It Works

ZugaShield spawns a Python MCP server as a managed child process. Each message, tool call, and response passes through the scanner in <15ms. The plugin uses OpenClaw's Gateway hooks, meaning one install protects Signal + Telegram + Discord + WhatsApp + web simultaneously.

Tool calls are always fail-closed regardless of configuration — SSRF and command injection are too dangerous to allow through even temporarily.

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.

zugashield is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zuga-Technologies/ZugaShield (1 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 659 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
