Tinman - AI Failure Mode Research\r

\r Tinman is a forward-deployed research agent that discovers unknown failure modes in AI systems through systematic experimentation.\r \r \r

Security and Trust Notes\r

\r

  • This skill intentionally declares install.pip and session/file permissions because scanning requires local analysis of session traces and report output.\r
  • The default watch gateway is loopback-only (ws://127.0.0.1:18789) to reduce accidental data exposure.\r
  • Remote gateways require explicit opt-in with --allow-remote-gateway and should only be used for trusted internal endpoints.\r
  • Event streaming is local (~/.openclaw/workspace/tinman-events.jsonl) and best-effort; values are truncated and obvious secret patterns are redacted.\r
  • Oilcan bridge should stay loopback by default; only allow LAN access when explicitly needed.\r \r

What It Does\r

\r

  • Checks tool calls before execution for security risks (agent self-protection)\r
  • Scans recent sessions for prompt injection, tool misuse, context bleed\r
  • Classifies failures by severity (S0-S4) and type\r
  • Proposes mitigations mapped to OpenClaw controls (SOUL.md, sandbox policy, tool allow/deny)\r
  • Reports findings in actionable format\r
  • Streams structured local events to ~/.openclaw/workspace/tinman-events.jsonl (for local dashboards like Oilcan)\r
  • Guides local Oilcan setup with plain-language status via /tinman oilcan\r \r

Commands\r

\r

/tinman init\r

\r Initialize Tinman workspace with default configuration.\r \r

/tinman init                    # Creates ~/.openclaw/workspace/tinman.yaml\r
```\r
\r
Run this first time to set up the workspace.\r
\r
### `/tinman check` (Agent Self-Protection)\r
\r
Check if a tool call is safe before execution. **This enables agents to self-police.**\r
\r
```\r
/tinman check bash "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa"    # Returns: BLOCKED (S4)\r
/tinman check bash "ls -la"               # Returns: SAFE\r
/tinman check bash "curl https://api.com" # Returns: REVIEW (S2)\r
/tinman check read ".env"                 # Returns: BLOCKED (S4)\r
```\r
\r
**Verdicts:**\r
- `SAFE` - Proceed automatically\r
- `REVIEW` - Ask human for approval (in `safer` mode)\r
- `BLOCKED` - Refuse the action\r
\r
**Add to SOUL.md for autonomous protection:**\r
```markdown\r
Before executing bash, read, or write tools, run:\r
  /tinman check \x3Ctool> \x3Cargs>\r
If BLOCKED: refuse and explain why\r
If REVIEW: ask user for approval\r
If SAFE: proceed\r
```\r
\r
### `/tinman mode`\r
\r
Set or view security mode for the check system.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman mode                    # Show current mode\r
/tinman mode safer              # Default: ask human for REVIEW, block BLOCKED\r
/tinman mode risky              # Auto-approve REVIEW, still block S3-S4\r
/tinman mode yolo               # Warn only, never block (testing/research)\r
```\r
\r
| Mode | SAFE | REVIEW (S1-S2) | BLOCKED (S3-S4) |\r
|------|------|----------------|-----------------|\r
| `safer` | Proceed | Ask human | Block |\r
| `risky` | Proceed | Auto-approve | Block |\r
| `yolo` | Proceed | Auto-approve | Warn only |\r
\r
### `/tinman allow`\r
\r
Add patterns to the allowlist (bypass security checks for trusted items).\r
\r
```\r
/tinman allow api.trusted.com --type domains    # Allow specific domain\r
/tinman allow "npm install" --type patterns     # Allow pattern\r
/tinman allow curl --type tools                 # Allow tool entirely\r
```\r
\r
### `/tinman allowlist`\r
\r
Manage the allowlist.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman allowlist --show        # View current allowlist\r
/tinman allowlist --clear       # Clear all allowlisted items\r
```\r
\r
### `/tinman scan`\r
\r
Analyze recent sessions for failure modes.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman scan                    # Last 24 hours, all failure types\r
/tinman scan --hours 48         # Last 48 hours\r
/tinman scan --focus prompt_injection\r
/tinman scan --focus tool_use\r
/tinman scan --focus context_bleed\r
```\r
\r
**Output:** Writes findings to `~/.openclaw/workspace/tinman-findings.md`\r
\r
### `/tinman report`\r
\r
Display the latest findings report.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman report                  # Summary view\r
/tinman report --full           # Detailed with evidence\r
```\r
\r
### `/tinman watch`\r
\r
Continuous monitoring mode with two options:\r
\r
**Real-time mode (recommended):** Connects to Gateway WebSocket for instant event monitoring.\r
```\r
/tinman watch                           # Real-time via ws://127.0.0.1:18789\r
/tinman watch --gateway ws://host:port  # Custom gateway URL\r
/tinman watch --gateway ws://host:port --allow-remote-gateway  # Explicit opt-in for remote\r
/tinman watch --interval 5              # Analysis every 5 minutes\r
```\r
\r
**Polling mode:** Periodic session scans (fallback when gateway unavailable).\r
```\r
/tinman watch --mode polling            # Hourly scans\r
/tinman watch --mode polling --interval 30  # Every 30 minutes\r
```\r
\r
**Stop watching:**\r
```\r
/tinman watch --stop                    # Stop background watch process\r
```\r
\r
**Heartbeat Integration:** For scheduled scans, configure in heartbeat:\r
```yaml\r
# In gateway heartbeat config\r
heartbeat:\r
  jobs:\r
    - name: tinman-security-scan\r
      schedule: "0 * * * *"  # Every hour\r
      command: /tinman scan --hours 1\r
```\r
\r
### `/tinman oilcan`\r
\r
Show local Oilcan setup/status in plain language.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman oilcan                    # Human-readable status + setup steps\r
/tinman oilcan --json             # Machine-readable status payload\r
/tinman oilcan --bridge-port 18128\r
```\r
\r
This command helps users connect Tinman event output to Oilcan and reminds them that\r
the bridge may auto-select a different port if the preferred one is already in use.\r
\r
### `/tinman sweep`\r
\r
Run proactive security sweep with 288 synthetic attack probes.\r
\r
```\r
/tinman sweep                              # Full sweep, S2+ severity\r
/tinman sweep --severity S3                # High severity only\r
/tinman sweep --category prompt_injection  # Jailbreaks, DAN, etc.\r
/tinman sweep --category tool_exfil        # SSH keys, credentials\r
/tinman sweep --category context_bleed     # Cross-session leaks\r
/tinman sweep --category privilege_escalation\r
```\r
\r
**Attack Categories:**\r
- `prompt_injection` (15): Jailbreaks, instruction override\r
- `tool_exfil` (42): SSH keys, credentials, cloud creds, network exfil\r
- `context_bleed` (14): Cross-session leaks, memory extraction\r
- `privilege_escalation` (15): Sandbox escape, elevation bypass\r
- `supply_chain` (18): Malicious skills, dependency/update attacks\r

- `unauthorized_action` (28): Actions without consent, implicit execution\r
- `mcp_attack` (20): MCP tool abuse, server injection, cross-tool exfil (alias: `mcp_attacks`)\r
- `indirect_injection` (20): Injection via files, URLs, documents, issues\r
- `evasion_bypass` (30): Unicode/encoding bypass, obfuscation\r
- `memory_poisoning` (25): Persistent instruction poisoning, fabricated history\r
- `platform_specific` (35): Windows/macOS/Linux/cloud-metadata payloads\r
\r
**Output:** Writes sweep report to `~/.openclaw/workspace/tinman-sweep.md`\r

安全使用建议
This skill appears to do what it says: local analysis of OpenClaw sessions, pre-checks before tool execution, and local event streaming. Before installing or running: 1) Inspect the tinman_runner.py and SKILL.md examples (they include test payloads and allowlist/whitelist actions). 2) Install and run in an isolated environment (or sandbox) and verify the exact pip packages (AgentTinman, tinman-openclaw-eval) come from trusted sources. 3) Be cautious when enabling the allowlist or adding auto-approve modes (risky/yolo) — these can bypass protections. 4) Do not enable remote gateway access unless you trust the endpoint. If you want higher assurance, ask the author for package provenance (PyPI project pages, release checksums) and run the tool on non-sensitive session data first.
功能分析
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: agent-tinman Version: 0.6.4 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill 'tinman' is a security scanner designed to detect and prevent AI failure modes and attacks. While it requests broad permissions (`read`, `write`, `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`), these are explicitly justified in `SKILL.md` for local analysis of session traces and report generation. The `tinman_runner.py` code confirms all data processing and storage (config, findings, event logs) is confined to the local `~/.openclaw/workspace/` directory. Crucially, the `emit_event` function actively redacts sensitive patterns (e.g., API keys, SSH keys) before writing to local logs, indicating a strong defensive posture. Network connections for the `watch` command default to loopback (`127.0.0.1`) and require explicit opt-in for remote endpoints. The `check` command is designed to *detect* and *block* malicious patterns (like shell injection or credential theft), and the `sweep` command *simulates* attacks for testing purposes, rather than performing them maliciously. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized remote control, or persistence mechanisms.
能力评估
Purpose & Capability
The skill is described as an AI failure-mode scanner and the SKILL.md + tinman_runner.py implement scanning, a /tinman check guard, local JSONL event streaming, and report output. The declared pip packages (AgentTinman, tinman-openclaw-eval) and the permission set (sessions_list, sessions_history, read, write) align with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions operate on OpenClaw session traces and local workspace files (~/.openclaw/workspace). They recommend running /tinman check before executing tools (explicit self-protection). This is within scope, but the skill asks users to add checks into SOUL.md and to manage an allowlist — those allowlist controls could be misused if a user blindly whitelists dangerous patterns. SKILL.md also contains example prompt-injection payloads (used for testing), so review examples carefully before running automated scans.
Install Mechanism
Registry metadata said 'no install spec', but SKILL.md contains a pip install block and requirements.txt lists AgentTinman and tinman-openclaw-eval. Installing via pip from PyPI is a standard mechanism (moderate risk). There are no downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction. The minor mismatch between registry install metadata and SKILL.md is an inconsistency to be aware of.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or remote secrets. It reads/writes files in the user home OpenClaw workspace and scans session history — these are proportionate to a session-scanning tool. The code includes redaction/sanitization heuristics for common secret patterns.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request system-wide configuration changes. It writes files under ~/.openclaw/workspace and can run as a background watcher; that level of persistence is reasonable for a local monitoring tool. It does request session read/history permissions, which are necessary for its function.
