Description
Search and retrieve detailed info on board games, including popular titles, player count, playtime, rating, price, and descriptions.
Usage Guidance
Functionally this skill appears to do what it says (board-game lookups) and does not request sensitive credentials. However: (1) the skill routes requests through an external gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) rather than the official API—ask the author what the gateway does with query/response data if you care about privacy or logging; (2) there is no homepage or published source, so provenance is unknown—prefer skills with a verifiable source or ask for more information before granting broad agent access; (3) if you want to use your own Board Game Atlas API key or avoid third-party proxies, request the skill be updated to accept a declared env var for a client_id or to call the official API directly.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (searching and returning board-game metadata) matches the SKILL.md which lists search/get/hot operations. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only defines three simple operations and a single MCP server URL. It does not instruct the agent to read local files or access unrelated env vars. Note: the skill points to a third-party gateway (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/boardgames/mcp) rather than calling the Board Game Atlas API directly—this means queries/responses will flow through that gateway.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). This minimizes on-disk code risk.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are required. The SKILL.md claims use of a public demo client_id via the gateway, which explains lack of API keys. If you need to use your own API key, the skill does not currently expose a way to provide it.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no instructions to modify agent/system configuration. The skill can be invoked autonomously (platform default), which is expected for skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-boardgames - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
