Description
Search and retrieve biomedical and scientific literature from PubMed and Semantic Scholar with structured summaries, citation tracking, and open-access PDFs.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and only queries public literature APIs. Before installing, be aware: (1) it makes outbound HTTP requests to public endpoints (PubMed/NCBI, Semantic Scholar, bioRxiv, ClinicalTrials) so run it in an environment where outbound network traffic is acceptable; (2) it depends on the Python requests package (scripts print an error if requests is not installed); (3) API rate limits and terms of service apply — heavy/automated use may require API keys or throttling; (4) novelty scoring and TLDRs are heuristic and may surface unreviewed preprints (exercise caution when using findings for critical decisions). If you need stricter controls, review the scripts locally and run them in an isolated environment or add rate-limiting and logging controls before integrating into automated workflows.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: pharmaclaw-literature-agent Version: 2.0.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle 'pharmaclaw-literature-agent' is benign. It functions as a literature mining agent, integrating searches across public APIs for PubMed (NCBI E-utilities), Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and bioRxiv/medRxiv. All network requests are handled by the standard `requests` library, which properly encodes query parameters, mitigating command injection risks. The `SKILL.md` documentation is straightforward, accurately describing the agent's purpose and usage without any prompt injection attempts. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation was found across any of the Python scripts (`biorxiv_search.py`, `chain_entry.py`, `chain_entry_v2.py`, `clinicaltrials_search.py`, `pubmed_search.py`, `semantic_scholar.py`).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (PubMed, Semantic Scholar, bioRxiv, ClinicalTrials) match the code: all network calls target public literature APIs (eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, api.semanticscholar.org, api.biorxiv.org, clinicaltrials.gov). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts limit actions to constructing queries and calling public APIs, parsing returned JSON/XML, deduplicating/enriching results, and producing summaries/recommendations. Scripts do not read arbitrary local files or environment variables beyond normal module imports and do not post data to unexpected external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-plus-scripts only; there is no install spec that downloads or executes code from an untrusted URL. The only runtime dependency is the requests library (standard third-party package). No archive downloads or unusual install behaviors are present.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or secrets, and the code does not attempt to read credentials or unrelated config. Network calls use only public API endpoints appropriate for the stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not set always: true and does not attempt to persist configuration or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform normal) but the skill itself does not request elevated persistence or cross-skill config changes.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install pharmaclaw-literature-agent
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /pharmaclaw-literature-agent
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
