WHAT IT DOES

What wiki does on OpenClaw

AI agents use wiki to create or update resources in OpenClaw, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OpenClaw environment.

RISK

Why wiki is rated Medium

The tool performs both inspection (Read) and initialization (Write) operations on a wiki vault. Initialization is a reversible operation that creates or configures data structures, making Write the primary category. Severity is medium because unintended initialization could disrupt wiki state, but the impact is likely recoverable.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Inspect and initialize the memory wiki vault' — 'initialize' indicates creating/setting up data structures, while 'inspect' suggests read access. The word 'initialize' suggests reversible setup of data rather than querying.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs wiki safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and OpenClaw, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For wiki, this is the rule to start with:

wiki Rate-limited

wiki stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OpenClaw, apply this rule, and every wiki call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about wiki

What does the wiki tool do? +

Inspect and initialize the memory wiki vault. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OpenClaw MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on wiki? +

Register the OpenClaw MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wiki: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches OpenClaw. Nothing to install.

What risk level is wiki? +

wiki is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit wiki? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wiki rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block wiki completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for wiki. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides wiki? +

wiki is provided by the OpenClaw MCP server (openclaw). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
