A CLI tool that audits OpenClaw file transfer plugin configurations and blocks unsafe binary operations before they execute
OpenClaw v2026.5.3 shipped a file transfer plugin with file_fetch, dir_list, dir_fetch, and file_write tools that enable binary file operations between paired agent nodes with a 16MB per-round-trip ceiling. While it ships with a default-deny path policy, misconfigured instances expose the full filesystem to agent-controlled binary writes. With 245,000 publicly accessible OpenClaw instances (Shodan + ZoomEye May 2026) and 433 CVEs in 164 days, a dedicated auditor for file transfer policies fills a gap the built-in security audit command doesn't cover yet.

Gap Assessment
3 tools exist (OpenClaw built-in security audit, SecureClaw, Cisco DefenseClaw) but gaps remain: No specific file-transfer plugin policy validation, no runtime interception of file ops, no network-wide scanning; No file-transfer-specific policy engine, no binary operation interception, focused on broader agent security not file ops.
