# cardano-cli-operator (manual-only)

This skill is a **deterministic exec gateway**: when you run the slash command, OpenClaw **bypasses the model** and forwards your arguments straight to the **Exec Tool** (`command-dispatch: tool`).

## Safety first: force approvals + allowlist mode
Before using this operator, set Exec defaults for the session:

- `/exec host=gateway security=allowlist ask=on-miss`

## Allowlist-safe shortcut (recommended)
If your Exec allowlist is strict, allowlist **one** entrypoint and route everything through it:

- Allowlist: `~/Projects/**/cardano-agent-skills/scripts/oc-safe.sh` (adjust glob)
- Run:
  - `/cardano_cli_operator ./scripts/oc-safe.sh cardano version`
  - `/cardano_cli_operator ./scripts/oc-safe.sh cardano query tip --mainnet`

## Use it (copy/paste)
Run `cardano-cli` via the included wrapper (native `cardano-cli` if installed, otherwise Docker fallback):

- Version
  - `/cardano_cli_operator ./skills/cardano-cli-operator/scripts/cardano-cli.sh version`

- Query tip (requires socket / correct network)
  - `/cardano_cli_operator ./skills/cardano-cli-operator/scripts/cardano-cli.sh query tip --mainnet`

- Dump protocol params (example)
  - `/cardano_cli_operator ./skills/cardano-cli-operator/scripts/cardano-cli.sh query protocol-parameters --mainnet --out-file pparams.json`

## Socket note (Docker fallback)
If you have a local node socket and you're using Docker fallback, set:
- `CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=/path/to/node.socket`

## Notes
- This operator does **not** decide what to run; it runs what you type deterministically.
- Use the non-operator skills for guidance and safe templates.
