Overview
ClawSecure is the security integrity layer for OpenClaw AI agents, skills, and multi-agent workflows. Built exclusively for the OpenClaw ecosystem, it provides a free 3-Layer Audit Protocol with full OWASP ASI Top 10 coverage — scanning individual skills and certifying agent swarm workflows against 55+ threat patterns including prompt injection, credential harvesting, and the ClawHavoc malware campaign.
As AI agents grow more capable and interconnected, the third-party skills powering them have become a significant attack surface. ClawSecure's own analysis of 2,890+ audited OpenClaw skills reveals that 41% contain substantive security vulnerabilities, with 30.6% carrying HIGH or CRITICAL findings. The platform addresses this with a free scanner, 24/7 Watchtower post-installation monitoring, and a Security Clearance API — providing the trust infrastructure for users, developers, and enterprises to build safely on OpenClaw.
ClawSecure functions as an independent integrity verification layer, sitting between OpenClaw's code repository (ClawHub) and the growing agent marketplace ecosystem. It is designed for individual users who want to verify skills before installing, developers seeking certified credibility for their creations, and enterprise teams deploying complex multi-agent workflows at scale.
Key Features
3-Layer Audit Protocol — Combines a proprietary behavioral engine with 55+ OpenClaw-specific threat patterns, static and behavioral code analysis with dataflow tracing, and CVE database supply chain scanning. Together these deliver comprehensive OWASP ASI Top 10 coverage in a single scan delivered in under 30 seconds.
Watchtower 24/7 Monitoring — After each scan, Watchtower continuously monitors all audited skills using SHA-256 hash comparison. Any code push by a developer triggers an automatic re-scan, protecting against "sleeper agent" attacks where initially safe code is quietly modified post-installation. Already, 661 skills have recorded hash changes, with 35 detected within 24 hours of activation.
Security Clearance API — A programmatic interface at
clawsecure.ai/api/v1/clearancethat lets marketplaces, enterprises, and CI/CD pipelines query real-time integrity status for any audited skill, enabling automated trust gating across deployment pipelines.Agent Registry — A searchable directory of 2,890+ pre-audited OpenClaw skills sourced from the community-curated awesome-openclaw-skills list and the official openclaw/skills repository, with severity-grouped findings (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW) visible for each entry.
Context-Aware Intelligence — Unlike generic malware scanners or AI code checker tools, ClawSecure understands normal OpenClaw agent behavior. It differentiates legitimate capabilities — clipboard access, shell execution, screenshot capture — from actual threats, significantly reducing false positives for developers and users.
ClawHavoc Detection — Specialized detection for the largest known malicious skill campaign targeting OpenClaw, involving command-and-control callbacks to malicious infrastructure. ClawSecure has flagged 539 skills (18.7%) with ClawHavoc indicators from its audit database.
How to Get Started
Getting a full security audit from ClawSecure takes under 30 seconds and requires no account:
Paste a URL, skill name, or upload a zip — Go to clawsecure.ai and enter a ClawHub URL, GitHub link, or skill name. Alternatively, upload a .zip file (max 10MB) if you have the skill locally. You can test with any popular OpenClaw skill like KiloClaw or Kimi Claw to see results immediately.
Run the 3-Layer scan — ClawSecure's audit protocol analyzes the skill against 55+ threat patterns, performs behavioral and static code analysis with dataflow tracing, and scans all dependencies against CVE databases. Results are delivered in under 30 seconds.
Access your report — Enter your email to receive the full security report. It includes a security score out of 100, severity-grouped findings, and specific threat pattern matches. Watchtower monitoring activates automatically for the scanned skill, sending alerts if the code changes.

| Verified Creator | TBA | Coming Q2 2026 | KYC identity verification linking a real human to published code |
| Gold Verified | TBA | Coming Q2 2026 | Manual deep audits, multi-agent workflow certification, continuous runtime monitoring |
All scanned skills are monitored by Watchtower under the free tier. ClawSecure does not publish explicit documentation on retention duration or scan-volume limits.
How It Compares
ClawSecure occupies a distinct niche as an independent, OpenClaw-specific integrity layer. Here is how it compares to tools with similar names or overlapping focus areas:
| Feature | ClawSecure | Clawsec.bot | ClawSecurity.io |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core approach | Post-install integrity verification & monitoring | Runtime guardrails blocking dangerous actions | Code-level vulnerability scanning with AI-generated patches |
| Scan method | Remote URL / skill name / zip upload | Plugin installed in the agent environment | Code analysis with 200+ rules |
| OWASP ASI coverage | Full 10/10 | Partial | Full Top 10 |
| Post-install monitoring | Yes — 24/7 Watchtower hash comparison | Yes — runtime enforcement | Periodic scans only |
| API access | Security Clearance API | None | None |
| Pricing | Free | Open source | Free scans; paid fixes (Pro/Enterprise) |
| Best for | Verifying skills before installing; marketplace trust gating | Blocking dangerous runtime actions in the agent environment | Code-level security fixes with automated patching |
The key differentiator: ClawSecure verifies whether a skill's intent remains integral over time — not just whether it was safe at the moment of installation. As agent-to-agent communication grows more complex with multi-agent protocols, continuous post-installation monitoring becomes increasingly critical.
Best For
- OpenClaw users who regularly install third-party skills and need to verify safety before granting system access
- Enterprise security teams building multi-agent OpenClaw workflows that need documented, independent security clearance
- OpenClaw skill developers who want Verified Creator status to build credibility and trust with marketplace users
- CTOs and security architects evaluating OpenClaw for enterprise deployment who need third-party verification beyond platform-native sandboxing
- Marketplace operators and aggregators that want to surface only vetted, continuously monitored agent skills to their users
FAQ
What is ClawSecure and what does it do?
ClawSecure is a free, independent security platform purpose-built for the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem. It audits OpenClaw skills and workflows through a 3-Layer Audit Protocol — checking for 55+ threat patterns including prompt injection, credential harvesting, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the ClawHavoc malware campaign — then monitors every audited skill 24/7 for code changes. It has currently audited 2,890+ skills and vaccinated 2.2M+ agents.
Is ClawSecure really completely free?
Yes. The core scanner, full security reports, Security Clearance API access, and 24/7 Watchtower monitoring are all free with no account required. You can scan any OpenClaw skill by URL, skill name, or zip file. The upcoming Verified Creator and Gold Verified tiers (for marketplace listing and enterprise certification) will be paid, but pricing has not been announced.
How is ClawSecure different from OpenClaw's built-in security?
OpenClaw has improved native sandboxing, but the 3,000+ third-party skills on ClawHub are not independently audited. ClawSecure provides external, third-party verification against 55+ OpenClaw-specific threat patterns — including ClawHavoc malware detection, SOUL.md/MEMORY.md poisoning, and inter-agent communication attacks (OWASP ASI-07) — that fall outside the scope of OpenClaw's native security measures.
What is Watchtower and why does it matter?
Watchtower is ClawSecure's continuous post-installation monitoring system. After any skill is scanned, Watchtower tracks the code using SHA-256 hash comparison. If a developer pushes a code update, Watchtower detects the change and automatically triggers a full re-scan — protecting against supply chain "sleeper agent" attacks where code that was initially safe is later modified to become malicious.
What is ClawHavoc?
ClawHavoc is the largest known malicious skill campaign targeting the OpenClaw ecosystem. It involves skills that contain command-and-control callbacks to malicious infrastructure, enabling attackers to remotely control agents installed on users' machines. ClawSecure's proprietary engine specifically detects ClawHavoc patterns and has flagged 539 skills (18.7% of all audited skills) as affected.
Does ClawSecure work with agent frameworks other than OpenClaw?
No. ClawSecure is designed exclusively for OpenClaw. Its 55+ threat patterns, Context-Aware Intelligence, and Watchtower infrastructure are all purpose-built around OpenClaw's skill architecture, SOUL.md/MEMORY.md system, and ClawHub infrastructure. It does not support LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, or other agent frameworks.
Can I use the Security Clearance API to automate verification in my pipeline?
Yes. The Security Clearance API at clawsecure.ai/api/v1/clearance allows programmatic querying of any audited skill's current integrity status. This enables CI/CD pipelines, enterprise deployment tools, and marketplace platforms to gate skill usage based on real-time security clearance status — without manual human review.
Is ClawSecure open source?
ClawSecure's security research repository is publicly available on GitHub at ClawSecure/clawsecure-openclaw-security. The repository is in early stage with 9 GitHub stars. The core platform — including the proprietary behavioral engine, Watchtower monitoring infrastructure, and Security Clearance API — is not open source.
