Description
Provides the latest spaceflight news articles and blog posts with search by keyword via the Spaceflight News API.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a simple proxy that queries a remote gateway for spaceflight news and does not request local credentials or install code. Before installing, confirm you're comfortable with queries and any user-provided text being sent to the external host (https://gateway.pipeworx.io). Avoid sending secrets or private data through the skill, and if you require stronger privacy, prefer a skill that calls the official Spaceflight News API directly or a self-hosted proxy. If you want more assurance, ask the publisher for their privacy policy or the exact backend used (is it the official Spaceflight News API or a third-party mirror?).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-spacenews
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle consists of metadata and documentation for a space news service that interfaces with the Spaceflight News API via an MCP gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io). The tools described (get_articles, search_articles, get_blogs) are purely informational and the SKILL.md contains no malicious instructions or prompt-injection attempts.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (spaceflight news via Spaceflight News API) match the provided tools and examples. One small mismatch: the SKILL.md example calls a Pipeworx gateway (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/spacenews/mcp) rather than the Spaceflight News API directly — this is plausible (a proxy) but worth being aware of.
Instruction Scope
Instructions only show calling a remote JSON-RPC endpoint to run the 3 declared tools (get_articles, search_articles, get_blogs). They do not ask the agent to read local files, credentials, or unrelated system state. However, the skill will send user queries and any included text to the external gateway endpoint (gateway.pipeworx.io), so user data is transmitted off-host.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes local persistence and disk writes.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested, which is proportionate for a read-only news lookup skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges. It can be invoked by the agent (normal behavior) but does not auto-enable itself or modify other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-spacenews - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-spacenews - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
