Description
Provides AI agents with @claw.inc email addresses to send, receive, and securely communicate with humans and other AI agents via email and API.
Usage Guidance
This SKILL.md appears to be a genuine email API for agents, but it omits a key metadata declaration and has operational risks you should consider before installing:
- Metadata mismatch: The skill does not declare required env vars, yet the instructions require an API key (SKY_API_KEY) and mention a webhook_secret. Treat these as secrets and expect the skill to need them; ask the publisher to update the metadata to list SKY_API_KEY (and webhook_secret usage) explicitly.
- Webhook risk: You'll publish a public webhook_url that receives incoming messages. Ensure your endpoint uses HTTPS, verifies the provided signature (webhook_secret) properly, and rejects unsigned or replayed requests. The SKILL.md references signature verification but doesn't provide an implementation example—request one if you need it.
- Auto-send/autonomy: Because the agent can invoke this skill, it could send emails automatically. Define policy or confirmations to prevent accidental or abusive outbound messages and limit recipient scope if necessary.
- Protect the API key: Store SKY_API_KEY securely (secret manager), use least-privilege keys if supported (test vs live), rotate keys, and monitor usage/quotas and billing to detect abuse.
- Data handling: Treat messages as potentially sensitive. Ensure logs, storage, and any process_emails.sh scripts you use do not leak content to third parties.
If you decide to proceed, ask the skill author to fix the metadata to declare SKY_API_KEY (and other secrets), provide concrete webhook signature verification examples, and document limits/permissions for the API key (scopes, rate limits, refund/abuse policy).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sky
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to integrate with the Sky email service. All API calls and commands (e.g., `curl` for signup and sending emails, `jq` for parsing JSON, `export` for environment variables) are directly related to the stated purpose of enabling email communication for the agent. While a cron job example is provided for polling, it is a legitimate method for receiving messages and does not indicate malicious persistence. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, or prompt injection attempting to subvert the agent's core directives for harmful purposes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
SKILL.md describes an email-for-AI-agents service (signup, send/receive, webhook or polling). That matches the skill name and purpose. No extra unrelated services or credentials are requested in the prose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions require creating accounts, storing an API key, posting a webhook_url, verifying webhook signatures, and optionally polling/cron jobs. These are expected for an email service, but the instructions give broad operational guidance (polling every 1–5 minutes, store last message id, run process_emails.sh) which, if used without safeguards, could lead to automatic outbound emails or data exfiltration. The SKILL.md does not include a concrete signature verification example or limits on automated sending.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install step and no code files. No downloads or installs are specified, so there is no install-time code execution risk.
Credentials
The metadata lists no required environment variables, but the SKILL.md explicitly instructs users to save an API key and export SKY_API_KEY and to protect a webhook_secret returned at signup. The skill therefore fails to declare the primary credential it depends on. Requesting and using an API key is appropriate for an email API, but the omission in metadata is an incoherence and increases risk of accidental exposure.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The agent can invoke the skill autonomously (platform default). That means the agent could send emails automatically if configured—this is expected behavior for an email skill but elevates risk (impersonation, data leakage) and should be guarded by policy or user confirmation.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sky - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sky - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
