RECEIPTS Guard

Protect your agent's autonomy by capturing evidence of every agreement it accepts. When your OpenClaw agent clicks "I agree" or makes a payment, RECEIPTS creates a local, immutable record.

Problem solved: When disputes happen, you have proof of exactly what was agreed to.

No API. No cloud. Your data stays local.

Why You Need This

Your OpenClaw agent is:

• Accepting Terms of Service without you knowing the full terms
• Making purchases with binding agreements
• Signing up for services with hidden clauses

Every action creates liability. Zero creates evidence. Until now.

Configuration

Configure in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

"skills": {
  "entries": {
    "receipts-guard": {
      "enabled": true,
      "env": {
        "RECEIPTS_AGENT_ID": "my-openclaw-agent"
      }
    }
  }
}

Variable	Description
RECEIPTS_AGENT_ID	Unique identifier for this agent instance (optional)

Agent Instructions

Before Accepting Any Terms of Service

1. Extract the terms text from the page before clicking any "I agree", "Accept", or "Continue" button
2. Run the capture script to analyze and store the agreement:

   node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/receipts-guard/capture.js "TERMS_TEXT" "SOURCE_URL" "MERCHANT_NAME"
   

3. Check the response:
   • If recommendation: "proceed" - Safe to accept
   • If recommendation: "require_approval" - Ask user before accepting
   • If recommendation: "block" - Do NOT accept, inform user of risk flags
4. Store the receipt ID for future reference

Before Making Any Payment

1. Capture the terms associated with the purchase
2. Include transaction details when available:

   node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/receipts-guard/capture.js "CHECKOUT_TERMS" "https://merchant.com/checkout" "Merchant Name"
   

3. Only proceed with payment if capture succeeds and recommendation allows

Security Rules

• Never skip capture for agreements or payments - this protects the user
• Never ignore block recommendations - these indicate serious risk flags
• Always store receipt IDs in transaction logs for future disputes
