Change file permissions using symbolic or numeric modes.

The SKILL.md and examples promise features (symbolic modes like '+x', recursive -R, reference-file) that the included Python script does not implement — it only accepts an octal mode and a single path. This looks like sloppy or incorrect packaging rather than overtly malicious code, but you should not rely on the documented behavior. If you need symbolic/recursive behavior, use the system chmod or fix/replace the script. Before installing or allowing the agent to run this skill: (1) review or test scripts/chmod.py in a safe directory to confirm behavior; (2) update SKILL.md to match actual capabilities or update the script to implement the advertised features; (3) avoid granting the agent permission to run this tool on sensitive system paths until you're confident it behaves as expected. If you expected symbolic/recursive/reference support, treat this skill as unusable until corrected.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: chmod-tool Version: 1.0.0 The tool provides file permission modification capabilities via os.chmod in scripts/chmod.py, which is a high-risk system operation. There is a significant discrepancy between the documentation (SKILL.md), which claims support for symbolic modes and recursive operations, and the actual implementation, which only supports octal modes and lacks recursion. While no clear malicious intent is present, the combination of high-risk file access and misleading documentation warrants a suspicious classification.
