Cloak tool replaces chat passwords with self-destructing links for OpenClaw agents
Cloak is a free, open source tool that addresses a security issue when sharing passwords with OpenClaw agents in chat applications like Telegram or Slack. Instead of leaving passwords permanently visible in chat history, Cloak replaces them with self-destructing links.
How it works
When you need to share a password with your OpenClaw agent, Cloak generates a link containing the password. This link can only be opened once - after opening, the password is permanently deleted. The same mechanism works in reverse: your agent can send you secrets through these self-destructing links.
Key features from the source
- Replaces passwords in chat with self-destructing links
- Each link can only be opened once, then the password disappears
- Works both ways - you can send passwords to your agent, and your agent can send secrets to you
- Leaves nothing behind in chat history
- Free with no sign-up required
- Open source
The tool is available on ClawHub at https://clawhub.ai/saba-ch/cloak.
This type of tool is useful for developers who frequently share sensitive information like API keys, database credentials, or other secrets with their AI coding agents. Traditional chat applications retain all message history by default, creating a security risk if chat logs are compromised.
