Description
Show system uptime, load average, active user count, and boot time. Use for system health checks, monitoring, and diagnostics.
README (SKILL.md)
Uptime Tool — System Uptime & Load Monitor
Display how long the system has been running since last boot, current user sessions, and CPU load averages. Essential for health checks, reboot verification, and capacity monitoring.
Quick Start
# Show system uptime
uptime-tool
# Show uptime plus JSON output for monitoring
uptime-tool --json
Usage
uptime-tool [OPTIONS]
Options:
--json Output as structured JSON
--pretty Human-readable format with emojis (default)
--since Show boot time timestamp
--seconds Show uptime in seconds only
--compare Compare with last-known value (requires --state-file)
--watch N Monitor continuously, N second intervals
--alert N Alert if uptime \x3C N seconds (short uptime = recent reboot)
Examples
# Standard uptime output
uptime-tool
# Machine-readable JSON for monitoring
uptime-tool --json
# Show boot time
uptime-tool --since
# Watch every 30 seconds
uptime-tool --watch 30
# Alert if system just rebooted (\x3C 60 seconds uptime)
uptime-tool --alert 60
# Uptime in seconds for scripts
uptime-tool --seconds
Features
- Standard uptime display with load averages
- JSON output for monitoring pipelines
- Boot time detection (when did the system start?)
- Continuous watch mode for real-time monitoring
- Alert thresholds for restart detection
- Compare mode detects unexpected reboots
- Cross-platform — works on Linux, macOS, BSD
Usage Guidance
This looks safe from a security perspective, but expect limited functionality: the included script appears Linux-specific and does not implement all options advertised in the documentation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: uptime-tool
Version: 1.0.0
The uptime-tool is a simple utility for reporting system uptime by reading /proc/uptime. While the documentation in SKILL.md describes several advanced features (such as JSON output, alerts, and monitoring) that are not actually implemented in the provided scripts/uptime.py, the code itself is harmless and contains no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is system uptime monitoring, and the included script only reads /proc/uptime and prints uptime. The documentation advertises more options than the included script implements, but this is a functionality mismatch rather than a security concern.
Instruction Scope
The instructions describe user-invoked uptime checks and monitoring-style options; they do not instruct the agent to perform unrelated, destructive, deceptive, or privileged actions.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification, no dependency installation, and no remote download or build step shown in the artifacts.
Credentials
Reading /proc/uptime is proportionate to the stated purpose of reporting system uptime and does not expose sensitive user data in the provided code.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifacts do not show background persistence, privilege escalation, credential use, or autonomous operation beyond user-directed uptime checks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install uptime-tool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/uptime-tool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
