Usage Guidance
This skill is a safety-and-design playbook, not executable code—so installing it has minimal direct risk. Before you rely on it in production: (1) ensure any real tool implementations enforce server-side schema validation, authorization, and output filtering as the guide recommends (do not trust the model); (2) avoid giving the model direct filesystem, database, or credential access—use validated server-side adapters and least-privilege principals; (3) if you will allow autonomous agent invocation, pair that with strict allowlists, rate limits, and human approval for dangerous ops; (4) treat the checklist as a design spec to implement securely rather than as an instruction to expose sensitive systems to the model. If you want extra assurance, ask for the concrete tool implementation details you plan to use and have them reviewed for the specific risks (credential handling, logging, and sandboxing).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tool-calling
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only documentation and procedural instructions (SKILL.md) for an AI agent to guide users through designing secure tool-calling interfaces. It explicitly advocates for security best practices such as least privilege, input validation, and avoiding dangerous anti-patterns like exposing raw shell or SQL access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md: the document is guidance for designing tool schemas, validation, authz, idempotency, errors, and testing. There are no binaries, env vars, or installs requested that would be unrelated to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains best-practice guidance and checklists only; it does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary files, access environment variables, download or transmit data to external endpoints, or perform system actions. It warns about risky patterns (raw SQL, shell, filesystem) rather than instructing their use.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This minimizes on-disk footprint and execution risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The SKILL.md discusses carrying user-scoped credentials as a design topic but does not request any secrets or access itself.
Persistence & Privilege
Flags are default (always:false, model invocation allowed). The skill does not request permanent presence or to modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tool-calling - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tool-calling - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
