Description
Provides predefined constrained tool subsets for spawning sub-agents tailored to task types like Explore, Plan, Verification, Coding, and Secretary.
Usage Guidance
This skill is largely harmless guidance for choosing tool subsets, but it has issues you should consider before installing:
- Inconsistencies: SKILL.md contains contradictions (e.g., Secretary both includes and forbids glob_search). Ask the author to fix these to avoid ambiguous behavior.
- Soft constraints: The skill relies on LLM compliance rather than enforcing sandboxing. Confirm your platform enforces tool restrictions at runtime; otherwise sub-agents could ignore the guidance.
- 'Skill' invocation risk: Allowed use of the 'Skill' tool lets a sub-agent call other skills (which may have more privileges). If you install this, ensure the platform prevents privilege escalation between skills or disallows chaining that would bypass restrictions.
- Unknown provenance: There is no homepage/source and the owner is an ID only. Prefer skills from known sources or ask for more provenance information.
- Test in a sandbox: Before using in production, test spawning sub-agents in an isolated environment and verify the platform actually enforces the allowed/forbidden tool lists.
If you need strong guarantees, require platform-level enforcement (hard sandboxing) or implement technical checks rather than relying on prompt-based guidance.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-subagent-toolset
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a framework for managing sub-agents by defining specific tool subsets (Explore, Plan, Verification, Coding, Secretary) to constrain their behavior based on task requirements. The instructions in SKILL.md and README.md are designed to improve safety by explicitly forbidding high-risk tools like 'exec' or 'write' for low-privilege tasks, and it contains no executable code, data exfiltration logic, or malicious prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (providing constrained tool subsets for sub-agents) matches the content: SKILL.md is purely guidance on allowed/forbidden tools per task type. However the package has no homepage/source and is instruction-only, and there are internal contradictions in the declared allowed/forbidden lists (see Instruction scope). These make the intent plausible but sloppy.
Instruction Scope
Instructions only tell agents to prepend a tool-subset prompt. They are intentionally 'soft constraints' (LLM compliance, not enforcement). Important concerns: (1) inconsistent lists — e.g., Secretary lists glob_search as both allowed and then forbidden, creating ambiguity; (2) the allowed tool set includes 'Skill' (invoke other skills), which can enable a spawned sub-agent to call other skills (potentially ones with higher privileges), effectively bypassing these soft constraints unless the platform enforces tool-level isolation; (3) guidance is open-ended and depends on the agent to follow it rather than implementing a technical sandbox.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes surface area; nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It does not itself request secrets or external resources.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autonomous invocation is the default platform behavior. The skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills. However, because the guidance allows the 'Skill' tool and 'Coding' grants full tool access, using this skill without platform-enforced sandboxing could let sub-agents escalate privileges by invoking other skills or by ignoring the soft constraints.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-subagent-toolset - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-subagent-toolset - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
