Summary

Reduce the declared capability surface in SKILL.md to improve OpenClaw's trust heuristic. Enterprise-only features that ClawHub users never need are removed from the manifest (still available when installed via pip).

What changed

  • Removed 6 env vars: AWS_PROFILE, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT, SNOWFLAKE_USER, SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD, AGENT_BOM_CLICKHOUSE_URL
  • Removed 5 file paths: ~/.snowflake/cortex/*, ~/.snowflake/connections.toml, ~/.snowflake/config.toml
  • Removed CIS benchmark credential docs from body text
  • Simplified credential_policy description

Why

OpenClaw rated v0.59.3 "Suspicious" due to broad credential declarations + sensitive file access. The enterprise CIS/Snowflake features are irrelevant to ClawHub users. Removing them reduces the "credential handling" and "sensitive file access" signals while keeping full transparency for the scanning features people actually use via ClawHub.

Test plan

  • Existing SKILL.md tests pass
  • CI passes
  • After merge + ClawHub rebuild, check if OpenClaw reclassifies

Remove enterprise-only declarations that inflate OpenClaw's
"sensitive access" heuristic without benefiting ClawHub users:
- Remove 6 credential env vars (AWS, Snowflake, ClickHouse)
- Remove 5 Snowflake-specific config paths
- Remove CIS benchmark credential documentation
- Simplify credential_policy description

Core scanning capabilities unchanged. Enterprise features (CIS
benchmarks, analytics) are still available when installed via
pip/pipx — just not declared in the SKILL.md manifest.
