Description
Search Facebook Marketplace listings near a specified location with filters for radius, price range, limit, and pickup-only. This skill is a thin client for...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a thin client that queries a local Marketplace-compatible service and outputs normalized JSON. Before installing/running: (1) verify why requirements.txt includes Flask — if you only need the client, you can remove that dependency to avoid installing server packages; (2) confirm config.json or the MARKETPLACE_API_BASE_URL env var points to a trusted local service (the default is http://127.0.0.1:8787); if you set base_url to a remote host, the client will send query data there; and (3) inspect or control the local Marketplace service you use (its implementation will determine privacy and scraping behavior). There are no required credentials in the package and the code does not read unrelated system files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: marketplace-local-search
Version: 0.1.0
The skill is a straightforward Python client designed to query a local Facebook Marketplace search service. The script (facebook_marketplace_search.py) uses standard libraries like 'requests' and 'argparse' to communicate with a local endpoint (defaulting to 127.0.0.1:8787), and the documentation (SKILL.md) accurately describes its purpose as a thin wrapper without embedded scraping logic or background services. No signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the included Python client: the script issues an HTTP GET to a local Marketplace-compatible service and returns normalized JSON. One minor mismatch: requirements.txt includes Flask (a server framework) even though the shipped client code does not use Flask; that dependency appears unnecessary for the client's stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions are scoped to installing dependencies, optionally copying a config example, and running the client. The runtime code only reads its own config files and two environment variables (MARKETPLACE_API_BASE_URL and MARKETPLACE_API_TIMEOUT) and makes HTTP requests to the configured base URL; it does not access unrelated system files or credentials.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec; SKILL.md instructs running pip install -r requirements.txt which pulls packages from PyPI. This is a common, moderate-risk step — but the listed dependency on Flask is unexpected for a pure client and may cause you to install unnecessary server-side packages.
Credentials
The registry declares no required environment variables or credentials. The client optionally reads MARKETPLACE_API_BASE_URL and MARKETPLACE_API_TIMEOUT to override defaults; this is reasonable, but changing base_url can cause the skill to send requests to an arbitrary (including remote) endpoint, so verify that base_url points to a trusted local service.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent privileges, always:false, and does not modify other skills or system configuration. It runs as an on-demand client script.
How to Use
