MEDIUM
Shell profile modification for persistence
L52

Detects instructions to modify shell config files for environment persistence

add to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc
FIX

Avoid modifying shell profiles (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) programmatically. Instruct users to add PATH entries manually, or use a version manager (nvm, pyenv) instead.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation showing how to add a tool to PATH manually, especially if it only appends to PATH without modifying other settings.

LOW
Runtime URL controlling behavior
L45

Detects URLs fetched at runtime that control or influence agent behavior without pinning

Get your Exa API key from https:// + schema
FIX

Avoid loading configuration or behavior-controlling content from runtime URLs. Bundle required configurations locally or pin remote config to versioned, integrity-verified endpoints.

FP?

Likely FP if the URL in the match is a documentation link or example URL (e.g., example.com) rather than an actual runtime-fetched configuration endpoint.

LOW
Non-localhost remote MCP server URL
L96

Detects MCP server configurations connecting to non-localhost remote URLs

"url": "https://docs.openclaw.ai/"
FIX

Change the MCP server URL to localhost or a trusted internal endpoint. If a remote server is required, verify the domain ownership and use HTTPS with certificate validation.

FP?

Likely FP if the URL points to example.com, a documentation domain, or a well-known SaaS API endpoint (e.g., api.openai.com).

LOW
