Whassist

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Whassist is a coherent WhatsApp assistant plugin, but installing it means OpenClaw can access sensitive Whassist conversation data when you use its tools.

Install only if you want OpenClaw to use your Whassist/WhatsApp account. Be careful with generic requests about contacts or follow-ups, and only approve sending after verifying the exact recipient and message text.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 84% confidence
Finding: The invocation guidance is broad enough to trigger on general conversation-analysis requests such as summaries, follow-ups, unanswered messages, and relationship context, which may exceed a narrowly user-intended WhatsApp-specific scope. In a messaging skill with access to private communications, overbroad activation increases the chance of unnecessary tool use and unintended exposure of sensitive chat data.
