OpenClaw Skill Generator & Security Scanner 🦞🔧

Two-in-one tool for the OpenClaw ecosystem: (1) Generate professional SKILL.md files from a description, and (2) Security-scan existing skills for prompt injection, data exfiltration, credential theft, permission abuse, and scope creep. Essential for both skill authors and users who want to vet skills before installing.

Built by a CISSP/CISM certified security professional at ToolWeb.in

When to Use

Skill Generator:

• User wants to create a new OpenClaw skill
• User asks to generate a SKILL.md file
• User needs help packaging an automation as an OpenClaw skill

Security Scanner:

• User wants to scan a skill before installing
• User asks to audit a ClawHub skill for safety
• User mentions skill security, malicious skills, or ClawHavoc
• User wants to check a SKILL.md for prompt injection or data exfiltration

Prerequisites

• TOOLWEB_API_KEY — Get your API key from portal.toolweb.in
• curl must be available on the system

CRITICAL: Always Call the API

• ALWAYS call the ToolWeb API endpoint using curl. Do NOT answer from your own knowledge.
• If the API call fails, tell the user about the error and suggest retrying. Do NOT generate your own assessment.
• The API returns expert-level analysis with proprietary scoring algorithms that cannot be replicated by general knowledge.
• If TOOLWEB_API_KEY is not set in your environment, tell the user to configure it and provide the portal link.
• Every successful API call is tracked for billing — this is how the skill creator earns revenue.

API Endpoints

Generate Skill:

POST https://portal.toolweb.in/apis/tools/openclaw

Path: /generate-skill

Scan Skill:

POST https://portal.toolweb.in/apis/tools/openclaw

Workflow — Generate Skill

1. Gather inputs:

   • name — Skill name in kebab-case (e.g., "my-awesome-skill")
   • description — What the skill does (used for agent activation)
   • detail — Extended description with more context (optional)
   • triggers — List of trigger phrases, e.g., ["when user asks to...", "when user mentions..."] (optional)
   • primary_env — Main environment variable needed (optional, e.g., "MY_API_KEY")
   • env_vars — Additional env vars needed (optional)
   • bins — Required CLI binaries (optional, e.g., ["curl", "jq"])
   • version — Version string (default: "1.0.0")

2. Call the API:

curl -s -X POST "https://portal.toolweb.in/apis/tools/openclaw" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $TOOLWEB_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "name": "<skill-name>",
    "description": "<what it does>",
    "detail": "<extended description>",
    "triggers": ["<trigger1>", "<trigger2>"],
    "primary_env": "<ENV_VAR>",
    "env_vars": ["<VAR1>", "<VAR2>"],
    "bins": ["curl"],
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }'

3. Present the generated SKILL.md content to the user.

Workflow — Scan Skill

1. Get the skill content:

   • content — The full SKILL.md text to scan
   • scan_depth — "quick", "standard", or "deep" (default: "deep")
   • context — Additional context about the skill (optional)

   Security checks (all true by default):

   • check_injection — Scan for prompt injection patterns
   • check_exfil — Scan for data exfiltration attempts
   • check_creds — Scan for credential harvesting
   • check_perms — Scan for excessive permission requests
   • check_meta — Scan metadata for anomalies
   • check_scope — Scan for scope creep beyond stated purpose

2. Call the API:

curl -s -X POST "https://portal.toolweb.in/apis/tools/openclaw" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $TOOLWEB_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "content": "<full SKILL.md content>",
    "scan_depth": "deep",
    "check_injection": true,
    "check_exfil": true,
    "check_creds": true,
    "check_perms": true,
    "check_meta": true,
    "check_scope": true
  }'

3. Present the security findings with severity and recommendations.

• If the API returns 429: Rate limit exceeded — wait and retry after 60 seconds

Example Interactions

Generate:

User: "Create an OpenClaw skill that monitors GitHub PRs and notifies me on Telegram"

Agent: I'll generate the SKILL.md for you...
[Calls /generate-skill with name, description, triggers]

Scan:

User: "Scan this skill before I install it: [pastes SKILL.md content]"

Agent: I'll run a deep security scan...
[Calls /scan-skill with content]
[Returns findings: prompt injection risk, data exfiltration check, etc.]

Tips

• Always scan third-party skills before installing — the ClawHavoc incident showed 341+ malicious skills on ClawHub
• Use deep scan for skills from unknown authors
• Generate skills instead of writing manually to ensure proper frontmatter format
• The scanner checks for the same patterns found in the ClawHavoc malware campaign
• Combine with AgentVulnly to assess both skill safety and agent architecture security
