llm-shield
LLM Shield validates incoming messages with Glitchward's API to detect prompt-injection and installs as an OpenClaw skill. It sends message content to https://glitchward.com/api/shield/validate using the GLITCHWARD_SHIELD_TOKEN env var; this network use and token handling are purpose-aligned and pose a low security risk.
LLM Shield for OpenClaw
Protect your OpenClaw AI assistant from prompt injection attacks with Glitchward LLM Shield.
Why You Need This
OpenClaw has powerful capabilities:
- Browser control
- File system access
- Shell command execution
- Personal data access
A prompt injection attack could exploit these to:
- Exfiltrate your files
- Execute malicious commands
- Access your accounts
- Leak your private data
LLM Shield validates all incoming messages before they reach the AI, blocking attacks in real-time.
Installation
1. Get Your Free API Token
Sign up at glitchward.com/shield and get your API token from Settings.
Free tier includes 1,000 requests/month - enough for personal use.
2. Install the Skill

cp llm-shield-skill.js ~/.openclaw/skills/
3. Configure Environment
