Openclaw Switch

· v1.0.0

High Risk

Manage multi-provider model switching and fallback chains in OpenClaw. "OpenClaw Switch" helps users set up automatic model failover (e.g. 429 rate-limit → fallback), switch primary models, view current fallback chains, and configure heartbeat/subagent routing. Works with any provider (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Ollama, etc.).

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_GIT_CLONE_AND_BUILD medium

Mitigation: Use pre-built packages or vendored dependencies instead of cloning repos

Command injection risk: TIRITH_DOTFILE_OVERWRITE, COMMAND_INJECTION_USER_INPUT high

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION, SOCIAL_ENG_ANTHROPIC_IMPERSONATION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
