/install goplaces
Description
Query Google Places API (New) via the goplaces CLI for text search, place details, resolve, and reviews. Use for human-friendly place lookup or JSON output for scripts.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the Homebrew tap and goplaces project. Use a restricted Google Places API key with quota or billing limits, avoid exposing the key in prompts or logs, and leave GOOGLE_PLACES_BASE_URL unset unless you intentionally use a trusted proxy or test endpoint.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: goplaces
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'goplaces' appears benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides standard documentation for installing and using the `goplaces` CLI tool, including its dependency on the `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY`. There are no instructions for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection against the agent. The installation method uses Homebrew (`brew install steipete/tap/goplaces`), which is a standard package manager, and the usage examples are consistent with the stated purpose of querying the Google Places API.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, required goplaces binary, Google Places API key, and examples for search, resolve, details, reviews, and JSON output all fit together.
Instruction Scope
The skill provides user-directed command examples and does not instruct automatic execution, prompt manipulation, account mutation, deletion, or moderation actions.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses a disclosed Homebrew tap, which is normal for a CLI tool but requires trusting the external goplaces package source.
Credentials
The Google Places API key and optional base URL override are proportionate to the purpose, but place searches, coordinates, place IDs, and review/detail requests will be sent to Google or any configured proxy.
Persistence & Privilege
The bundle contains only SKILL.md and shows no executable scripts, background workers, persistence, privilege escalation, credential harvesting, or protected-path writes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install goplaces - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/goplaces - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
