Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent, but it executes a third-party npm package at runtime and uses your OOSMETRICS_API_KEY. Before installing: (1) Confirm you trust oosmetrics.com and the npm package owner; review the referenced GitHub repo (@AlessandroFlati/GitHubMetrics) and the published package code if possible. (2) Treat the API key as sensitive — use the least-privileged or short-lived key you can, and be ready to rotate or revoke it. (3) Be aware that npx will run code fetched from the npm registry and that the package could perform any network actions permitted by the host; the SKILL.md's statements about telemetry and network endpoints are assertions you cannot verify from the skill alone. (4) If you need stronger assurance, inspect or vendor the package locally (or run it in a sandbox) before allowing the agent to invoke it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: oosmetrics
Version: 1.0.1
The oosmetrics skill is a standard MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation for querying GitHub repository growth and health metrics via the oosmetrics.com API. It uses npx to execute the @oosmetrics/mcp package and requires a user-provided API key. The documentation in SKILL.md is well-structured, providing legitimate tool descriptions and example prompts for repository analysis without any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (search/compare/analyze open-source repos) line up with the declared requirements: it needs an OOSMETRICS_API_KEY and npx to run an npm client. The only minor inconsistency is that the top-level registry noted 'No install spec' while SKILL.md includes an install entry pointing to @oosmetrics/[email protected] — functionally this matches the skill's need to run the package.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run an MCP server via npx that communicates with api.oosmetrics.com over HTTPS and to use the OOSMETRICS_API_KEY. The instructions do not request unrelated files or other environment variables. However the claim that the server "does not collect telemetry" and only talks to api.oosmetrics.com is self-reported and cannot be verified from the SKILL.md alone; running an npm package at runtime grants it broad capabilities (stdin/stdout, network from the host) during the session.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill that relies on npx to execute @oosmetrics/[email protected] from the npm registry. Using npx/npm is a common pattern but carries the normal risk of executing third‑party code fetched at runtime. There is no local install spec that pins a verified release artifact beyond the npm package name/version; the SKILL.md references a GitHub repo which you should inspect if you need assurance.
Credentials
Only one credential is required: OOSMETRICS_API_KEY, declared as the primary credential. That is proportional to a service that needs an API key. The instructions do not request additional secrets or unrelated environment variables.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill describes ephemeral execution (npx-run MCP server over stdio that does not listen on ports or remain running after the session). Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal). There is no indication the skill modifies other skills or system-wide configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install oosmetrics - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/oosmetrics - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
