Openclaw Health Guardian

Monitors OpenClaw Gateway on macOS, auto-restarts on failure with 180s cooldown and max 5 restarts/hour to prevent restart loops.

This package mostly does what it says: it installs a user-level macOS LaunchAgent that checks the local OpenClaw gateway and tries to restart it with cooldown/rate-limiting. Before installing: 1) Inspect the two scripts (scripts/install.sh and scripts/openclaw-health-check.sh) yourself — they are included in the package and will be copied into ~/.openclaw. 2) Verify the source/author; if you don't trust the publisher, don't run the install. 3) Note the odd metadata: the skill claims a 'node' dependency but the scripts are bash-only — this is likely a packaging error but worth asking the author. 4) Confirm you want a persistent LaunchAgent that can load/unload user LaunchAgents (it operates at gui/$(id -u) scope). 5) Run the install in a controlled environment (or inspect & run the scripts manually line-by-line), back up any existing ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist and ~/.openclaw/state before installing, and check logs after first runs. If anything looks unexpected (external network calls, unfamiliar plist manipulations, or attempts to access non-user config), abort and remove the files.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: openclaw-health-guardian Version: 1.0.3 The openclaw-health-guardian skill is a legitimate macOS utility designed to monitor and maintain the uptime of the OpenClaw gateway. It uses a bash script (openclaw-health-check.sh) and a macOS LaunchAgent (com.openclaw.healthcheck.plist) to perform periodic health checks, implementing sensible safety features like a 180-second cooldown and a 5-restarts-per-hour rate limit. While it utilizes powerful system tools such as launchctl for service management and osascript for user notifications, these actions are transparently documented in SAFETY.md and align strictly with the tool's stated purpose without any evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration.
