# NanoClaw Traffic Guardian Specification
## Goal
Provide NanoClaw with opt-in runtime traffic monitoring that observes host-managed NanoClaw traffic for exfiltration and injection signals while preserving container isolation.
## Required Architecture
Implement four layers:
1. Detector core
- normalized finding schema
- pattern registry
- snippet redaction
- deduplication
- JSONL report writer
2. Host service
- proxy lifecycle
- CA key ownership
- log storage
- config validation
- IPC task handling
3. MCP tool surface
- `clawsec_traffic_status`
- `clawsec_traffic_findings`
- `clawsec_traffic_check_config`
4. Operator interface
- safe setup text
- explicit host/container proxy wiring guidance
- CA fingerprint display when HTTPS inspection is enabled
## Finding Schema
Findings must be JSON objects with these fields:
```json
{
"schema_version": "clawsec-traffic-finding/v1",
"platform": "nanoclaw",
"direction": "outbound",
"protocol": "http",
"threat_type": "EXFIL",
"pattern": "ai_api_key",
"severity": "high",
"source": "127.0.0.1",
"dest": "api.example.com:443",
"snippet": "[REDACTED]",
"timestamp": "2026-04-26T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```
## Minimum Detection Set
Outbound EXFIL:
- AI API keys
- AWS access key IDs
- private key PEM markers
- SSH key file paths
- sensitive Unix file paths
- dotenv and cloud credential paths
- WhatsApp session or credential path markers when NanoClaw exposes stable names
Inbound INJECTION:
- pipe-to-shell commands
- shell exec flags
- reverse shell command shapes
- destructive remove commands
- SSH authorized-key injection shapes
## Safety Requirements
- Default mode is detect-and-log.
- Blocking mode must not exist in the first implementation.
- Snippets must be redacted before persistence and before MCP responses.
- Maximum scan bytes must be configurable and bounded.
- CA private key material must stay host-side.
- System trust-store instructions must require explicit operator confirmation and must never run automatically.
## Tests Required Before Release
- detector unit tests for each pattern
- redaction tests proving secrets are not persisted or returned through MCP
- host-service lifecycle tests
- IPC timeout and malformed-task tests
- MCP schema tests
- proxy fixture tests for HTTP request and response inspection
- no-false-positive tests for common benign traffic
