Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: run a local Node script that queries DuckDuckGo and prints results. Before installing, be aware that (1) the script makes outbound HTTP requests to api.duckduckgo.com (or uses your system curl if fetch fails), so queries will leave your machine and may go through your network/proxy, (2) the script will invoke the 'curl' binary as a fallback if present, which is normal but means it executes an external program, and (3) the SKILL.md contains an external paid installation/help link (harmless but unrelated to functionality). If you require stricter controls, review or sandbox the script (or remove the curl fallback) before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-free-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides a legitimate web search functionality using the DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API as advertised. The code in `search.js` properly handles user input via URI encoding and uses standard fetching methods (including a curl fallback for network compatibility) without any evidence of shell injection, data exfiltration, or malicious persistence. While `SKILL.md` contains a link to a commercial installation service, it does not contain harmful prompt injection or deceptive instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say 'free web search without API keys' and the included script indeed queries DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API; required binaries/envs/configs are none, which is proportionate.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the provided Node script. The script uses process.argv, performs an HTTP GET to api.duckduckgo.com, formats output, and optionally runs curl as a fallback. It does not read unrelated files, environment variables, or send data to endpoints other than DuckDuckGo.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). There is a single small script bundled—no downloads or archive extraction. No unusual install behavior detected.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials. The script does not require secrets; it only optionally invokes the system 'curl' binary if direct fetch fails.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable; it does not modify other skills or system settings and does not request persistent privileges.
