Description
Search and compare products across merchants. Find the best deals with price comparison and shopping recommendations.
README (SKILL.md)
You have access to the Forage Shopping MCP server for product search and price comparison.
Setup
Add the Forage MCP server to your openclaw.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"forage-shopping": {
"url": "https://forageshopping.com/mcp"
}
}
}
No API key required — the remote server handles everything.
Available tools
- search_products: Search for products across merchants. Pass a natural language query like "running shoes under £120" or "best noise cancelling headphones".
- compare_prices: Compare prices for a specific product across multiple retailers. Pass an exact product name like "Sony WH-1000XM5".
- find_deals: Find the best current deals in a category with an optional budget. Pass a category like "coffee machines" and optionally a budget like "£200".
How to use
When the user asks about buying something, finding a product, comparing prices, or looking for deals:
- Use
search_productsto find options matching their query - If they're interested in a specific product, use
compare_pricesto find the best retailer - If they want deals in a category, use
find_deals
Present results clearly with product name, price, merchant, and link. Always recommend based on value, not just lowest price. Mention delivery costs and return policies when available.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for price comparison, but it forwards queries to an external MCP server (https://forageshopping.com/mcp). Before installing: 1) verify the domain and operator (privacy policy, reputation); 2) don't send sensitive personal or financial data in queries; 3) confirm the connection uses HTTPS and inspect openclaw.json changes (back it up) so you can remove the MCP entry later; and 4) try a few non-sensitive searches to observe results and behavior. If you need stronger guarantees about data handling, contact the skill author or prefer a skill with documented authentication and privacy terms.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: forage-shopping
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a 'forage-shopping' agent skill, providing tools for product search, price comparison, and deal finding. All instructions in SKILL.md are directly related to the stated purpose, guiding the agent to interact with the `https://forageshopping.com/mcp` endpoint. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent's intended function or perform unauthorized actions. The `_meta.json` file contains only standard metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the SKILL.md instructs: search, compare, and find deals. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or system access.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to adding a single MCP server URL to openclaw.json and calling three named tools. This stays within the advertised purpose, but it does cause the agent to send user queries to an external service (https://forageshopping.com/mcp).
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code is present (instruction-only), so nothing new is written to disk beyond the suggested change to openclaw.json. This is low-risk compared to downloads or executables.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The lack of required API keys is consistent with the SKILL.md claim that the remote server 'handles everything.'
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true (normal). The only persistent change suggested is adding an MCP server entry to openclaw.json — this is reasonable for the skill but effectively routes agent queries to a third-party endpoint, which increases exposure.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install forage-shopping - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/forage-shopping - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
