# OpenClaw Traffic Guardian Specification
## Goal
Provide OpenClaw with opt-in runtime traffic monitoring that observes agent HTTP/HTTPS traffic for exfiltration and injection signals without changing global host networking.
## Required Architecture
Implement three layers:
1. Detector core
- normalized finding schema
- pattern registry
- snippet redaction
- deduplication
- JSONL report writer
2. OpenClaw adapter
- lifecycle commands for start, stop, status, and threats
- process-scoped proxy environment guidance
- optional hook/status integration under `hooks/openclaw-traffic-guardian-hook/`
3. Operator interface
- safe setup text
- explicit per-process proxy export commands
- 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": "openclaw",
"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
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.
- Maximum scan bytes must be configurable and bounded.
- CA trust must be per-process by default.
- 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
- proxy fixture tests for HTTP request and response inspection
- no-false-positive tests for common benign traffic
- lifecycle tests for stale PID/state cleanup
- status output tests
- OpenClaw hook integration tests if hook files are added
