Description
World News API integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with World News API data.
Usage Guidance
Things to check before installing/using:
- Verify the Membrane project and the @membranehq/cli package (homepage, npm page, GitHub) so you trust the publisher and supply chain.
- Note the SKILL.md asks you to run a global npm install; consider using npx or a local install if you want to avoid global package installation.
- Understand Membrane will hold and manage API credentials for World News API — ensure you are comfortable with their privacy/security practices.
- The skill metadata did not list the required binary, but the runtime docs require the Membrane CLI; this mismatch is benign but worth noting.
- In headless or automated environments, follow the documented login flow carefully and avoid pasting secrets into untrusted prompts.
If you want higher assurance, ask the skill author for a formal install spec and the exact npm package checksum or link to the package release to validate what will be installed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: world-news-api
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with the World News API using the Membrane CLI. The documentation in SKILL.md outlines standard procedures for installation via npm, authentication, and managing API actions through the Membrane platform. No indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection were found; the instructions are consistent with the stated purpose of the integration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md describes using the Membrane CLI to connect to World News API and manage actions — this is coherent with the skill name/description. Small inconsistency: the registry metadata lists no required binaries, but the instructions explicitly require installing @membranehq/cli (npm).
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to installing and using the Membrane CLI (login, connect, list/create/run actions). The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints. They do require network access and interactive or headless login via Membrane.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry; instead SKILL.md asks the user to run `npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest`. Installing a public npm package is a common approach but has supply-chain implications; the package appears to be from the @membranehq scope (official-sounding) and the skill links to getmembrane.com and a GitHub repo, but the install step is not captured in the skill metadata.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables or keys in the metadata. It requires a Membrane account and interactive login; Membrane will manage downstream API credentials server-side. This is proportionate, but it means you must trust Membrane to hold your World News API credentials and perform auth on your behalf.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or system-wide config changes. Autonomous invocation (disable-model-invocation: false) is the platform default and acceptable here. The skill does not claim 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 world-news-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/world-news-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
