Supply Chain Risk

OpenClaw processes risk assessments for entire dependency lists in a single run, making it suitable for security teams auditing large codebases, open source programme offices maintaining approved package registries, and automated security pipelines that need risk data for every dependency at merge time.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp
2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Supply Chain Risk tool:

  1. Run: "Check supply chain risk for all packages in this package.json [list] using supply-chain-risk"
  2. OpenClaw returns risk assessments for the complete dependency list
  3. Flag all packages with risk scores above your threshold for review
  4. Export results for inclusion in security audit documentation

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Supply Chain Risk tool
Check supply chain risk for 50 npm packages from our dependency list using supply-chain-risk. Return as JSON sorted by risk score, highest first, with package name, score, and top risk factors.

Tips

  • Run a full dependency audit against your package-lock.json to cover transitive dependencies
  • Set up scheduled weekly audits to catch newly disclosed vulnerabilities in existing dependencies
  • Combine with a package allowlist to automate approval/rejection decisions in CI pipelines
