Chmod Tool - File Permissions

Modify file read/write/execute permissions with symbolic or octal modes.

Quick Start

chmod-tool +x script.sh

Features

  • Symbolic mode (u+x, g-w)
  • Octal mode (755, 644)
  • Recursive (-R)
  • Reference file

Examples

chmod-tool +x script.sh
chmod-tool 755 myfile
chmod-tool -R 644 docs/

  • Related documentation: man chmod (if available)
Usage Guidance
The SKILL.md and examples promise features (symbolic modes like '+x', recursive -R, reference-file) that the included Python script does not implement — it only accepts an octal mode and a single path. This looks like sloppy or incorrect packaging rather than overtly malicious code, but you should not rely on the documented behavior. If you need symbolic/recursive behavior, use the system chmod or fix/replace the script. Before installing or allowing the agent to run this skill: (1) review or test scripts/chmod.py in a safe directory to confirm behavior; (2) update SKILL.md to match actual capabilities or update the script to implement the advertised features; (3) avoid granting the agent permission to run this tool on sensitive system paths until you're confident it behaves as expected. If you expected symbolic/recursive/reference support, treat this skill as unusable until corrected.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: chmod-tool Version: 1.0.0 The tool provides file permission modification capabilities via os.chmod in scripts/chmod.py, which is a high-risk system operation. There is a significant discrepancy between the documentation (SKILL.md), which claims support for symbolic modes and recursive operations, and the actual implementation, which only supports octal modes and lacks recursion. While no clear malicious intent is present, the combination of high-risk file access and misleading documentation warrants a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say 'symbolic or numeric modes', recursive and reference-file support; the packaged script only accepts two positional args (mode and file) and parses mode as an octal integer — symbolic modes (e.g. '+x'), '-R', and reference-file behavior are not implemented.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md shows examples using symbolic modes and recursive usage that will not work with scripts/chmod.py. Following the documented examples will produce errors or unexpected behavior; the instructions therefore mislead the agent about what commands to run and what effects to expect.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction+small script only, so nothing is being downloaded or written to disk at install time beyond the included files.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested — appropriate for a simple chmod utility.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated persistence. Note that the skill can be invoked autonomously by default (disable-model-invocation is false), which is normal for skills.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install chmod-tool
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /chmod-tool
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
