- Gen Agent Trust Hubwarn
The skill facilitates host security auditing and hardening for OpenClaw environments. It performs environment discovery and executes remediation steps for firewalls, SSH, and updates. While it requires explicit user approval for state-changing actions, it possesses high-privilege capabilities, establishes persistence via scheduled tasks, and is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection through its ingestion of command outputs.

What does this agent skill do?
OpenClaw host healthcheck
Goal: assess host risk, run read-only checks, then propose staged hardening without breaking access.
Rules
- Ask before state-changing actions.
- Do not change SSH/firewall/remote access until access path is confirmed.
- Prefer reversible steps and rollback notes.
- Never claim OpenClaw manages OS firewall, SSH, or updates.
- If identity/role unknown, recommend only.
- User choices: numbered list.
- Never print secrets.
Context to infer first
- OS/version, container vs host.
- Privilege level.
- Access path: local, SSH, RDP, tailnet.
- Network exposure: public IP, reverse proxy, tunnel, LAN only.
- OpenClaw gateway status, bind, auth.
- Backup status.
- Disk encryption.
- Automatic security updates.
- Usage mode: personal workstation, local assistant box, remote server, other.
Ask only for missing facts. Simple phrasing preferred.
Read-only checks
Ask once for permission to run read-only checks. Then run relevant commands.
Common:
openclaw security audit --deep
openclaw gateway status --deep
openclaw doctor
macOS:
sw_vers
lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate
pfctl -s info
tmutil status
fdesetup status
softwareupdate --schedule
Linux:
cat /etc/os-release
ss -ltnup || ss -ltnp
ufw status || firewall-cmd --state || nft list ruleset
systemctl status ssh sshd
lsblk -f
Windows:
systeminfo
Get-NetFirewallProfile
Get-BitLockerVolume
Risk profile
After context is known, ask desired posture:
- Convenience: local/private, minimal prompts.
- Balanced: secure defaults, low friction.
- Strict: remote/public/sensitive data, more lock-down.
Report shape
- Current posture: one paragraph.
- Findings: severity + evidence + why it matters.
- Recommended plan: staged, reversible.
- Commands: read-only first; write actions only after approval.
- Gaps: what could not be checked.
Hardening menu
Offer only relevant items:
- Bind gateway to loopback/LAN/tailnet intentionally.
- Require auth for remote access.
- Close public ports or restrict by firewall.
- Enable OS security updates.
- Enable disk encryption.
- Verify backups and restore path.
- Disable password SSH or require keys/MFA where appropriate.
- Add scheduled
openclaw security audit --deep.
Confirm exact action before applying.
