I've been researching OpenClaw's approach to prompt injection defense, specifically how it implements risk scoring to detect and mitigate potential prompt injections. I'm interested in understanding the effectiveness of their scoring models and any potential weaknesses or improvements that could be made. Have others tested OpenClaw in different environments or with varied prompt injection techniques? What are your experiences or insights on its scoring accuracy and adaptability?

One concern I have is the potential for false positives, which can disrupt legitimate prompt flows. Tuning the risk thresholds based on context might help, but it's still a challenge.
I tested OpenClaw's risk scoring on a variety of injection prompts and found it generally effective, but it sometimes misses cleverly obfuscated payloads. The adaptability of the scoring model is crucial, and regular updates help improve detection.
In terms of deployment, latency introduced by risk scoring can be a concern, especially for real-time applications. Has anyone benchmarked OpenClaw's performance in high-throughput settings?
Overall, OpenClaw's approach to prompt injection defense risk scoring is a strong step forward. Continuous improvement and community involvement will be essential to keep up with evolving attack vectors.
I've been experimenting with extending OpenClaw's risk scoring using custom heuristics tailored to our domain-specific prompts. It's promising and helps catch injections that generic models might overlook.
