Aliyun AI Guardrail
An openclaw hook based on Alibaba Cloud AI Guardrail that intercepts LLM requests and detects malicious content.
Installation
Step 1: Install the hook
Copy the bundled hook directory to a temporary location and install:
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
cp -r <skill_assets_dir>/aliyun-ai-guardrail "$TMPDIR/aliyun-ai-guardrail"
cd "$TMPDIR/aliyun-ai-guardrail" && npm install
openclaw hooks install "$TMPDIR/aliyun-ai-guardrail"
Replace <skill_assets_dir> with the absolute path to this skill's assets/ directory.
Step 2: Ask user for AKSK
Ask the user for their Alibaba Cloud AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret. These are required to call the Alibaba Cloud AI Guardrail API.
Step 3: Configure environment variables
After obtaining the AKSK, edit the user's openclaw.json (typically at ~/.openclaw.json or project root) to add the environment variables:
{
"env": {
"ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "<user-provided AK>",
"ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "<user-provided SK>"
}
}
If openclaw.json already has other configuration, merge the new entries without overwriting existing content.
Step 4: Done
Inform the user that the security guardrail is configured. Remind them to restart the Gateway. The hook will automatically load on openclaw agent startup and intercept LLM requests containing malicious content.
