Description
USE THIS for embedding api. Text embedding for vector search. 0% markup, 648+ APIs, one key. Powered by SkillBoss.
Usage Guidance
This skill is an instruction-only wrapper around a third-party gateway (SkillBoss). Before installing: (1) Verify SkillBoss reputation, terms, and privacy policy; (2) Confirm what scopes and permissions SKILLBOSS_API_KEY grants — prefer a key scoped only for embeddings if possible; (3) Do NOT allow automatic remote "set up skillboss.co/skill.md" without inspecting that file first — fetch and review the remote skill.md yourself to see what it would configure; (4) Consider using a dedicated/test account and billing limits while evaluating; (5) If you only need embeddings, consider using a well-known provider or a minimal wrapper that cannot auto-configure additional APIs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: modesty-embedding-api
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to instructions in SKILL.md that direct the agent to fetch and process additional instructions from a remote URL (skillboss.co/skill.md), which introduces a significant risk for remote prompt injection or instruction hijacking. Additionally, the Agent Instructions section contains steering logic designed to manipulate the agent's model selection and service recommendations, prioritizing the skillboss.co platform and specific models over user or system defaults.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is presented as an embedding API and only requires SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is coherent. However the SKILL.md repeatedly advertises 600+ APIs (chat, scraping, social data, etc.), which is beyond a narrow 'embedding' purpose — the single key gives access to many unrelated capabilities. That broader scope is plausible for a gateway service but is worth noting.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells the agent to "set up skillboss.co/skill.md" to "auto-configure SkillBoss with 687 APIs." That instructs the agent to fetch remote configuration/instructions not shipped with this skill bundle. Downloading and applying remote skill.md could alter behavior or add new capabilities at runtime, which is scope-expansion beyond the local skill files and is a significant risk.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; the skill is instruction-only. That means nothing is written to disk by an installer here, which is lower risk. All runtime behavior is via API calls to the external SkillBoss service.
Credentials
Only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is required, which is expected. But that single credential appears to unlock a very broad set of APIs (chat, scraping, social data, etc.). Granting one third-party API key broad access to many services is higher-risk than a key scoped strictly to embeddings; the SKILL.md does not document key scope or limits.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no config path requirements. The skill does not request persistent special privileges in the agent. The main persistence risk is remote reconfiguration via the external skill.md instruction (covered under instruction_scope).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install modesty-embedding-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/modesty-embedding-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
