Description
Direct MiniMax API integration for speech synthesis (TTS), voice cloning, image generation, video generation, and music generation using local Python scripts...
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent, but note these important practical points before installing:
- It will send any prompts and any files you upload (voice samples, images, lyrics files) to the MiniMax API host (MINIMAX_BASE_URL or the default https://api.minimaxi.com). Do not upload sensitive audio/text/images you don't want transmitted off your machine.
- MINIMAX_API_KEY is required; treat it like any API secret. If leaked or set to an untrusted value, it could be used to make API calls and consume account quota or access data.
- You can override MINIMAX_BASE_URL — ensure you trust any custom host you set (a malicious host could capture uploaded files and keys).
- The scripts write outputs to skills/minimax-tools/outputs/ by default. Check that location if outputs might contain sensitive material.
- The skill requires Python 3 and the requests library; inspect the included scripts if you want additional assurance (they are small, readable, and perform expected API calls).
If you accept those behaviors (file uploads to MiniMax and use of your API key), the skill appears coherent and reasonable to use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: minimax-tools-skill
Version: 0.1.0
The minimax-tools-skill is a legitimate integration for the MiniMax multimodal API, providing Python wrappers for speech synthesis, voice cloning, image, video, and music generation. The code in scripts like minimax.py and common.py follows standard practices for API interaction using the requests library and handles file I/O for processing media assets. No evidence of malicious intent, unauthorized data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found; all network activity is directed to the official MiniMax API endpoint (api.minimaxi.com).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (MiniMax TTS/voice/image/video/music) match the files and required environment variables. The single primary credential (MINIMAX_API_KEY) and optional MINIMAX_BASE_URL are appropriate for the stated API integration; required binary (python3) and Python dependency (requests) are expected.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and scripts limit behavior to forming HTTP requests to the MiniMax API, converting local files to Data URLs when requested, uploading user-provided files, downloading returned artifacts, and saving outputs under the skill outputs directory. The instructions do not read unrelated system files or other environment variables beyond those declared.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only) is provided; the skill includes local Python scripts only. Nothing is downloaded or executed from external/untrusted URLs during install.
Credentials
Only MINIMAX_API_KEY is required (with optional MINIMAX_BASE_URL). This is proportionate to a wrapper that authenticates to an external API. No unrelated credentials or secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills' configs, and runs only when invoked. It writes outputs under its own outputs/ directory (skills/minimax-tools/outputs/), which is normal for a local wrapper.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install minimax-tools-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/minimax-tools-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
