@agentvault/agentvault@0.23.31
The official **OpenClaw** plugin for AgentVault. Adds cryptographic identity, earned trust, and Signal-grade encrypted communications to OpenClaw agents. (Looking for a different framework? See **[Which Framework?](#which-framework)** below.)
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not proven malware because installation-time execution is absent and the risky setup path is explicitly invoked. It is suspicious because the enabled extension broadly observes HTTP URLs and establishes persistent agent runtime integration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the setup command with an invite token and then starts OpenClaw with the extension configured.
Impact
Sensitive query parameters or internal endpoint names in observed URLs may be disclosed to the configured AgentVault service; setup can persist a gateway process.
Mechanism
Runtime HTTP interception, telemetry reporting, and explicit OpenClaw configuration mutation.
AI rationale
This is not proven malware because installation-time execution is absent and the risky setup path is explicitly invoked. It is suspicious because the enabled extension broadly observes HTTP URLs and establishes persistent agent runtime integration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The OpenClaw extension installs a fetch interceptor and records every observed HTTP URL, method, status, and timing.
- The extension defaults its service URL to api.agentvault.chat and sends authenticated audit records there.
- The setup command modifies the OpenClaw channel configuration and allow list, then can configure a persistent pm2 gateway process.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- Configuration mutation is reachable through the explicit setup subcommand, which requires an invite token.
- The inspected code shows package-aligned service endpoints and no self-dependency or arbitrary payload loader.
