Description
MiniMax AI platform CLI — text, image, video, speech, music, vision, and web search from terminal or AI agents. Use when generating multimedia content (image...
Usage Guidance
Proceed with caution. The SKILL.md instructs installing and running a third-party npm package and requires an API key and local config, but the skill metadata does not declare those requirements — this mismatch is suspicious. Before installing: (1) verify the mmx-cli package on the npm registry and its source repository (check publisher, recent changes, and whether it’s the official MiniMax release), (2) do not supply a high‑privilege or production API key; use a limited-scope key or test account, (3) inspect the package code (or run it in a disposable sandbox/container) to see how it stores/transmits keys (it references ~/.mmx/config.json and MINIMAX_API_KEY), and (4) prefer an official homepage or vendor documentation — the registry entry lacks a homepage. If you can provide the npm package URL or the package source repo, I can do a more precise assessment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: minimax-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle documentation (SKILL.md) instructs the AI agent to perform a high-risk global installation of an unverified npm package ('mmx-cli') and provides instructions for authenticating with sensitive API keys. A major indicator of potential malice is the reference to 'api.minimaxi.com' in 'references/api-notes.md', which appears to be a typo-squat of the official MiniMax AI domain (minimax.io), suggesting a possible credential harvesting or exfiltration attempt. While these are strong signals of a supply chain or phishing attack, the bundle itself contains only documentation and no executable code to confirm intentional harm.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description and the SKILL.md content are consistent: this is a CLI helper for the MiniMax platform. However, the skill instructs installing an external npm package (mmx-cli) and expects an API key and local config, yet the registry metadata declares no required environment variables or config paths — an incoherence between claimed requirements and actual usage.
Instruction Scope
The instructions tell users/agents to run `npm install -g mmx-cli` and to perform authenticated CLI actions (mmx auth login --api-key ...), reference an on-disk config (~/.mmx/config.json) and the MINIMAX_API_KEY env var. Those sensitive artifacts are not declared in the skill's metadata. The SKILL.md tells the agent to install and execute third-party code and to write/read local config, which expands scope beyond a harmless instruction-only helper.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the skill bundle, but the guidance explicitly directs a global npm install of `mmx-cli`. Installing a third-party npm package executes network-downloaded code on the host and is a non-trivial risk. Because no package source/homepage is supplied in the registry metadata, the origin and integrity of that npm package cannot be verified from the skill bundle alone.
Credentials
The SKILL.md and api-notes reference an API key (example sk-xxxxx), the MINIMAX_API_KEY env var, and a config file (~/.mmx/config.json), but the skill metadata lists no required env vars or config paths. Requesting API credentials and local config access is reasonable for a CLI that calls a remote service, but it should be declared; the omission is a mismatch that could hide credential exfiltration risks.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not claim to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (default) which is normal. The main persistence risk comes from installing the external npm package, not from the skill metadata itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install minimax-cli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/minimax-cli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
