Kaiwu Search — 開物搜尋

Search the web via Kaiwu API (kaiwu.dev). Optimized for Chinese content (Traditional + Simplified), uncensored, with multi-engine aggregation (Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave).

Setup

Requires KAIWU_API_KEY secret. If not set:

  1. Check if agent has a wallet (base-wallet skill or existing wallet).
  2. If wallet exists: auto-register via POST https://kaiwu.dev/api/auth/agent-register with SIWE signature to get a key.
  3. If no wallet: instruct user to visit https://kaiwu.dev to get a free API key (1,000 searches/month free).

Store the key: KAIWU_API_KEY=kw_...

Search

curl -X POST https://kaiwu.dev/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KAIWU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "台灣 AI 基本法",
    "lang": "zh-TW",
    "max_results": 5
  }'

Parameters

Param Type Default Description
query string required Search query
lang string zh-TW zh-TW, zh-CN, en, auto
max_results number 5 1–20
time_range string all day, week, month, year, all

Response

{
  "query": "台灣 AI 基本法",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "立法院三讀通過《人工智慧基本法》",
      "url": "https://moda.gov.tw/...",

Check Credits

curl https://kaiwu.dev/v1/credits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KAIWU_API_KEY"

Usage Guidelines

  • 1 credit per search call. Free tier: 1,000/month.
  • Prefer lang: "zh-TW" for Taiwan topics, "zh-CN" for China topics, "auto" when unsure.
  • For broad Chinese queries, Kaiwu auto-expands Traditional ↔ Simplified (e.g., "人工智慧" also searches "人工智能").
  • Use time_range: "week" or "month" for recent news.
  • Results come from Google, DuckDuckGo, and Brave — no Baidu, no censorship filtering.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (web search optimized for Chinese), but the runtime instructions require a KAIWU_API_KEY and describe auto-registration using a wallet (SIWE) — neither is declared in the registry metadata. Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Confirm you trust kaiwu.dev and can revoke the API key if needed; 2) Require the skill manifest to declare KAIWU_API_KEY (primaryEnv) so the platform can surface the credential request clearly; 3) If your agent has a wallet, verify any auto-registration step and signing prompts — do not allow silent signing or registration without explicit user confirmation; 4) Be aware 'uncensored' search can surface politically sensitive content; 5) Note the skill source/homepage is missing and the owner is unknown — prefer skills with verifiable authorship. If you need lower risk, ask the skill author to remove auto-registration or make wallet use an explicit, optional flow documented in the manifest.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: kaiwu-search Version: 1.0.0 The kaiwu-search skill is a search tool wrapper for the Kaiwu API (kaiwu.dev), specifically optimized for Chinese language queries and multi-engine aggregation. It uses standard curl commands for REST API interactions and includes documented instructions for the agent to obtain an API key, including an auto-registration process via SIWE signature if a wallet is available. The skill's behavior is transparently documented, aligns with its stated purpose, and lacks indicators of data exfiltration or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose (search via Kaiwu API) matches the instructions. However, the manifest declares no required environment variables or primary credential while the SKILL.md explicitly requires a KAIWU_API_KEY and describes an auto-registration flow — the manifest should have declared that credential. This is an incoherence between what the skill says it needs and what it actually instructs the agent to use.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are mostly scoped to calling kaiwu.dev endpoints (search and credits). But they also instruct the agent to check for an agent wallet and, if present, auto-register via POST to https://kaiwu.dev/api/auth/agent-register using a SIWE signature. That implies accessing a wallet signing capability and initiating registration on the user's behalf — an action beyond a simple search helper and one that requires explicit user consent and clear declaration.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is the lowest install risk; nothing is written to disk by the skill bundle itself.
Credentials
The SKILL.md requires KAIWU_API_KEY and suggests storing it in an env var, and also references agent wallets/SIWE for auto-registration. The registry metadata did not declare any required env vars or a primary credential. Requesting an API key and performing wallet-based registration are reasonable for an API-based search tool, but the absence of those requirements in the manifest is a red flag and the wallet auto-register flow increases sensitivity.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is user-invocable and not always-enabled; it does not request persistent system-wide privileges in the bundle. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default (disable-model-invocation is false) but is not combined with always:true or broad undeclared credential access.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install kaiwu-search
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /kaiwu-search
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
