Description
Run commands and transfer files between an OpenClaw gateway (VPS) and a paired local node via node protocol or SSH fallback. Covers transport selection, comm...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with its stated purpose, but before installing: ensure your node is actually paired and you have appropriate SSH access (keys/config); be aware restarting the remote OpenClaw service requires admin rights on the node; verify the openclaw CLI you run is from a trusted source; test commands on a non-production node first to avoid accidental service disruption.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: remote-node-ssh
Version: 1.0.1
The skill provides the agent with broad capabilities for remote command execution and file transfer via SSH, SCP, and Rsync, as documented in SKILL.md. While these capabilities are aligned with the stated purpose of managing paired remote nodes, they constitute high-risk behaviors that grant the agent significant control over external systems. No evidence of malicious intent, such as hardcoded exfiltration endpoints or unauthorized credential harvesting, was found in the provided files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (remote exec + file transfer) aligns with the SKILL.md: it documents node protocol for exec and SSH (ssh/scp/rsync) for fallback and transfer. The declared required tools (ssh, scp, rsync, openclaw CLI) are appropriate for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly focused on running commands and transferring files between gateway and paired node. They do not request unrelated system files, global environment variables, or external endpoints. Note: the doc assumes the operator has SSH access and may need administrative rights on the remote node to restart the OpenClaw node service.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files — instruction-only. This is low-risk since nothing is fetched or written by an install step.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. Use of SSH keys and the openclaw CLI is expected and proportional to the functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not forced always-on. It allows autonomous invocation (platform default) but that is not combined with broad credentials or system-wide modifications, so no elevated persistence concerns.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install remote-node-ssh - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/remote-node-ssh - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
