OpenClaw integrates VirusTotal for enhanced skill security

OpenClaw has announced a significant partnership with VirusTotal, enhancing the security of its ClawHub skill marketplace. As of February 7, 2026, all skills published to ClawHub will now undergo scanning through VirusTotal's advanced threat intelligence platform, which includes their new Code Insight capability. This integration aims to provide an additional layer of security for users, addressing the unique challenges posed by AI automation and the potential risks associated with AI agents interpreting natural language.

The collaboration underscores OpenClaw's commitment to responsible AI development, recognizing that while AI agents can greatly enhance user capabilities—from managing smart home devices to automating complex workflows—they also require robust security measures. By leveraging VirusTotal's expertise, OpenClaw is taking proactive steps to ensure that its developer tooling and integrations maintain high standards of safety and reliability. This move not only protects users but also reinforces the importance of secure agent workflows in the evolving landscape of AI technology.
