# Policy plugin
|
|
|
|
Adds policy-backed doctor checks for workspace conformance.
|
|
|
|
## Distribution
|
|
|
|
- Package: `@openclaw/policy`
|
|
- Install route: included in OpenClaw

## Behavior
|
|
|
|
The Policy plugin contributes doctor health checks for policy-managed OpenClaw
|
|
settings and governed workspace declarations. Policy currently covers channel
|
|
conformance, governed tool metadata, MCP server posture, model-provider posture,
|
|
private-network access posture, Gateway exposure posture, agent workspace/tool
|
|
posture, configured global/per-agent tool posture, configured sandbox runtime
|
|
posture, ingress/channel access posture, and OpenClaw config secret
|
|
provider/auth profile posture.
|
|
|
|
Policy stores authored requirements in `policy.jsonc`, observes existing
|
|
OpenClaw settings and workspace declarations as evidence, and reports drift
|
|
through `openclaw policy check` and `openclaw doctor --lint`. A clean policy
|
|
check emits policy, evidence, findings, and attestation hashes that operators
|
|
can record for audit.
|
|
|
|
Tool posture rules can require approved profiles, workspace-only filesystem
|
|
tools, bounded exec security/ask/host settings, disabled elevated mode, exact
|
|
`alsoAllow` entries, and required tool deny entries. The evidence records
|
|
additive `alsoAllow` entries because they can widen effective tool posture.
|
|
These checks observe config conformance only; they do not read runtime approval
|
|
state or add runtime enforcement.
|
|
|
|
Sandbox posture rules can require approved sandbox modes/backends, deny host
|
|
container networking, deny container namespace joins, require read-only container
|
|
mounts, deny container runtime socket mounts and unconfined container profiles,
|
|
and require sandbox browser CDP source ranges.
|
|
These checks observe config conformance only; they do not read runtime approval
|
|
state, inspect live containers, or add runtime enforcement.
|
|
|
|
Named policy scopes under `scopes.<scopeName>` can add stricter normal policy
|
|
sections for the selector they list. `agentIds` supports `tools`,
|
|
`agents.workspace`, and `sandbox`; `channelIds` supports `ingress.channels`.
|
|
Runtime agent ids that are not explicitly listed in `agents.list[]` are checked
|
|
against inherited global/default posture rather than silently passing with no
|
|
evidence. Every scope present in `policy.jsonc` must be valid and enforceable
|
|
for its selector. Overlay rules are additional claims, so they do not weaken
|
|
top-level policy and can produce their own findings when the same observed
|
|
config violates both scopes.
