OpenClaw Scanner

Scan and analyze OpenClaw/Moltbot installations — and compatible variants nanobot and picoclaw — for usage patterns, active skills, and configuration status.

Overview

• Active skills and their configurations
• Session logs and tools/apps usage
• Cron jobs, plugins, channels, nodes, and models
• Provider configurations and API key status
• Security audit results

Supports macOS and Linux.
