Exec Tool (ClawHub Skill)#

Overview#

Exec Tool is a controlled system command execution skill designed for OpenClaw environments. It allows secure execution of predefined CLI commands from within ClawHub workflows.

This skill is intended for automation, debugging, and controlled system operations inside VPS environments.

Problem it solves#

When working in server environments (such as Hostinger VPS deployments), users often need to trigger system-level commands from automation layers like Telegram bots or OpenClaw agents. This skill bridges that gap safely.
