About
End-to-end security platform for OpenClaw AI agents that provides audit checks, automated hardening, and runtime protection against prompt injection, credential theft, and privacy leaks. Features 56 audit checks, 15 behavioral rules, and comprehensive OWASP ASI framework coverage.
What it does
SecureClaw combines host configuration checks, reversible fixes, background monitoring, and agent instructions. It inspects gateway exposure, authentication, permissions, credentials, installed skills, memory integrity, privacy risks, and spending behavior. Operators can use the standalone shell-based skill or add the TypeScript plugin for command-line integration and continuous services.
Why it's ranked here
The layered design is credible because it addresses configuration, filesystem state, and agent behavior separately. Automated fixes create backups, and reports include severity, evidence, remediation, and framework mappings. The repository also states the central limitation plainly: prompt injection defenses reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.
What's good
Hardening is operationally thoughtful. It backs up configuration before changes, records a manifest, and supports rollback. Deep audits can actively probe local ports. Credential, memory, and cost monitors run as plugin services. The standalone skill keeps most detection outside the model context, limiting its context cost.
Tradeoffs
Behavioral protections remain instructions interpreted by the agent, so they are not a hard enforcement boundary. Startup audit failures are logged while the gateway continues. Documentation also disagrees on audit totals and category counts. Framework coverage includes partial controls and explicit gaps, including provider-side poisoning, model inference attacks, and Sybil attacks.
How to use it well
Use SecureClaw when operating OpenClaw, Moltbot, or Clawdbot on a Unix-like host. Run an audit before hardening, inspect proposed changes, retain backups, re-audit, then schedule integrity checks and monitoring. It complements deployment security, but does not replace model-provider safeguards, broader identity governance, or independent incident investigation.
Technical notes+
The TypeScript plugin entry in secureclaw/src/index.ts registers CLI commands, three background services, and a gateway startup audit; its error path logs failures without stopping startup. secureclaw/src/auditor.ts implements severity deductions, pattern scanning, IOC checks, and optional TCP probes. secureclaw/src/hardener.ts runs five modules in priority order, creates timestamped backups and a manifest, and restores supported files during rollback. secureclaw/src/types.ts defines injected audit context interfaces that support testing without a real installation. secureclaw/vitest.config.ts targets src/**/*.test.ts with 30-second timeouts. secureclaw/demo.ts builds an intentionally insecure temporary installation, audits it, hardens it, re-audits it, and removes it.
Observed
- Primary implementation
- TypeScript plugin, with a standalone Bash and JSON skill layer
- Packaging
- Published as the npm package @adversa/secureclaw; also installable from source or through ClawHub
- Interfaces
- OpenClaw plugin, command-line commands, and standalone shell scripts
- Runtime requirement
- The plugin requires Node.js 18 or newer; the skill uses Bash and standard Unix tools
- Agent compatibility
- Supports OpenClaw, Moltbot, and Clawdbot configuration layouts
- Reporting
- Provides console and JSON audit report formatters
- Verification setup
- Vitest configuration targets TypeScript test files under src and includes coverage settings
