Description
MCP (Model Context Protocol) utilities and helpers. Tools for connecting, configuring, and managing MCP servers with OpenClaw.
Usage Guidance
This skill describes a CLI and shows interactions with external MCP servers but provides no implementation or install instructions and doesn't declare the API key it expects. Before installing or using it: 1) ask the publisher for the CLI source (trusted package registry or GitHub releases) and verify its integrity; 2) do not paste API keys into URLs — prefer environment variables or a secure config with limited scope; 3) confirm which environment variables/credentials are required and why; 4) verify the MCP server endpoints and that you trust those third parties; 5) if you must provide secrets, use least privilege keys and rotate them after testing. These inconsistencies are likely sloppy engineering but could lead to accidental key leakage, so proceed cautiously. Additional information that would change the assessment: a clear, reputable install source for mcp-tool-utils, an explicit list of required environment variables/credentials, and guidance on secure storage/usage of API keys.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mcp-tool-utils
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle consists of documentation (SKILL.md) and metadata for Model Context Protocol (MCP) utilities. It describes standard administrative tasks such as server configuration, tool discovery, and health monitoring for legitimate services like Tavily, Exa, and Firecrawl. No executable code, suspicious network calls, or malicious prompt-injection instructions were found.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose (MCP utilities) matches the examples and endpoints shown (mcp.tavily.com, mcp.exa.ai, etc.), but the package contains only SKILL.md and package.json and no installer or implementation for the referenced mcp-tool-utils CLI/library. That mismatch (documented CLI but no provided binary or install instructions) is unexpected.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions reference running a CLI (mcp-tool-utils), calling mcpUtils.discover/call, and editing openclaw.json; they also show using an environment variable ($TAVILY_KEY) and placing an API key directly in a server URL. The SKILL.md instructs interactions with external MCP servers (expected) but also suggests practices (embedding secrets in URLs) that risk leaking credentials. The instructions do not declare where the CLI comes from or how to obtain it.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to write to disk, which is low risk. However, because the instructions expect an external mcp-tool-utils CLI/library, lack of an install source is an operational gap the user must resolve before use.
Credentials
SKILL.md shows using $TAVILY_KEY and embedding API keys in openclaw.json URLs, but the skill metadata declares no required environment variables or primary credential. That discrepancy (instructions requiring secrets while the manifest requests none) is a red flag: it increases the chance of misconfiguration and secret leakage, and the skill gives no guidance on required scopes or where credentials are stored.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not declare system config paths, and is not installing persistent components. It does not attempt to modify other skills or agent-wide settings based on the provided materials.
How to Use
