OpenClaw Policy Check

Run a lightweight policy scan to catch common high-risk patterns in code and scripts.

Inputs

• target_path (required): file or directory to scan.
• fail_on (optional): severity threshold for non-zero exit. One of critical, high, medium, low.
• json_output (optional): print raw JSON output.

Workflow

1. Run scripts/policy_check.py on the target path.
2. Review severity counts and top findings.
3. If findings exist, prioritize critical and high items first.
4. Suggest concrete fixes for each flagged pattern.

Commands

python3 scripts/policy_check.py "<target_path>"
python3 scripts/policy_check.py "<target_path>" --json
python3 scripts/policy_check.py "<target_path>" --fail-on high

Response Contract

• Always include total findings and severity breakdown.
• Include top findings with file:line, rule id, and reason.
• If no findings exist, explicitly state that no policy violations were detected.
• Keep remediation guidance concrete and brief.
