kbarbel640-del OpenClaw Egress Pro
Full network DLP suite for agent workspaces. Detects outbound URLs, data exfiltration patterns, and suspicious network calls, then automatically blocks connections, quarantines compromised skills, and enforces domain allowlists.
Philosophy: alert -> subvert -> quarantine -> defend.
Everything in openclaw-egress (free) plus automated countermeasures.
The Problem
Skills can phone home. A compromised skill can POST your workspace contents, API keys, or conversation history to an external server. Detection alone isn't enough — you need the ability to neutralize threats automatically.
Commands
Full Scan
Scan workspace for all outbound network risks.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py scan --workspace /path/to/workspace
Skills-Only Scan
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py scan --skills-only --workspace /path/to/workspace
Domain Map
List all external domains referenced in workspace.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py domains --workspace /path/to/workspace
Quick Status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py status --workspace /path/to/workspace
Pro Countermeasures
Block Network Calls
Neutralize suspicious network calls in a skill by commenting them out. Targets CRITICAL and HIGH findings only. Creates .bak backup of each modified file.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py block <skill-name> --workspace /path/to/workspace
- Comments out lines containing network calls with
# [BLOCKED by openclaw-egress-pro] - Creates
.bakbackup before modifying any file - Only modifies code files (
.py,.js,.ts,.sh,.bash) - Flags non-code files for manual review
Quarantine Skill
Disable a skill with exfiltration indicators by renaming it so OpenClaw won't load it.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py quarantine <skill-name> --workspace /path/to/workspace
Unquarantine Skill
Restore a previously quarantined skill.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py unquarantine <skill-name> --workspace /path/to/workspace
Domain Allowlist
Manage a custom domain allowlist. Domains on this list won't be flagged during scans. Built-in safe domains always apply.
# Show current allowlist (built-in + custom)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py allowlist --workspace /path/to/workspace
# Add a domain
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py allowlist --add api.mycompany.com --workspace /path/to/workspace
# Remove a domain
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py allowlist --remove api.mycompany.com --workspace /path/to/workspace
Custom allowlist is stored in .egress-allowlist.json in the workspace root.
Protect (Full Sweep)
Automated protection sweep: scans all skills, auto-quarantines any with CRITICAL exfiltration indicators, blocks HIGH network calls, and reports results. Recommended for session startup.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/egress.py protect --workspace /path/to/workspace
Actions taken by protect:
- Scan all active (non-quarantined) skills
- CRITICAL findings -> quarantine the entire skill
- HIGH findings -> block (comment out) network call lines
- Report all actions taken with next steps
What It Detects
| Risk | Pattern |
|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Base64/hex payloads in URLs, pastebin/sharing services, request catchers, dynamic DNS |
| HIGH | Network function calls (requests, urllib, curl, wget, fetch), webhook/callback URLs |
| WARNING | Suspicious TLDs (.xyz, .tk, .ml), URL shorteners, IP address endpoints |
| INFO | Any external URL not on the safe domain list or custom allowlist |
Exit Codes
0— Clean (or action completed successfully)1— Warnings / network calls detected (review needed)2— Critical exfiltration risk detected (action needed)
No External Dependencies
Python standard library only. No pip install. No network calls. Everything runs locally.
Cross-Platform
Works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, and any tool using the Agent Skills specification.
