Description
HTTP status code cat images — get a cat photo for any status code plus a reference of all common codes
Usage Guidance
This is a lightweight, instruction-only pack that returns http.cat image URLs. Before enabling: be aware that example usage contacts a third-party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) and the SKILL.md suggests using npx/mcp-remote (which would fetch code from npm) if you adopt the MCP config; if you prefer not to contact that gateway or run npx-installed helpers, you can call http.cat URLs directly (e.g., https://http.cat/<code>) without granting extra access or installing packages.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-httpcat
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a simple utility for retrieving HTTP status code descriptions and corresponding cat images from the http.cat service. It operates as a remote MCP server connector via gateway.pipeworx.io and lacks any indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful command execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (HTTP status code cat images) align with the content of SKILL.md and the only declared runtime requirement is curl, which is reasonable for fetching URLs.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only benign operations: returning status code descriptions and http.cat image URLs. It includes example calls to a third-party MCP gateway (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/httpcat/mcp) and an example MCP config that uses npx; these direct network calls are expected for this pack but mean runtime will contact external services.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are included (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the registry install. The SKILL.md example shows using npx to run mcp-remote@latest if a user configures that, which would pull from npm, but that is an optional usage example rather than a mandatory install step.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill does not request secrets or unrelated system access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level presence or modify other skills; autonomous invocation is allowed by default but is not excessive given the skill's narrow scope.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-httpcat - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-httpcat - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
