NC-OC-004
No open (unauthenticated) groups
What this checks
Checks that no messaging groups are configured with open (unauthenticated) access alongside elevated or runtime tools.
Why it matters
Open groups with elevated tools allow any member to trigger high-impact commands via prompt injection.
How to fix it
Set groupPolicy="allowlist" and tighten elevated tool allowlists. See: https://clawvitals.io/docs/NC-OC-004
