Description
Control Alexa devices via VoiceMonkey API v2 - make announcements, trigger routines, start flows, and display media.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uses a single VoiceMonkey API token to call VoiceMonkey endpoints to announce messages, trigger routines, start flows, and display media on Echo devices. Before installing, consider: (1) the VOICEMONKEY_TOKEN is powerful — anyone with it can control your Echo/Alexa devices, so only provide a token you trust the skill with; (2) the SKILL.md suggests storing the token in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json — keep that file protected (restrict file permissions) or prefer setting the token as an environment variable; (3) because the agent can invoke the skill autonomously (default), review agent policies or prompts that could cause unintended announcements/triggers. If you need more assurance, ask the skill author for a privacy/security statement or request the skill be implemented as an explicit, non-autonomous action.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: voicemonkey
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for VoiceMonkey is benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides clear instructions and `curl` examples for interacting with the VoiceMonkey API, which is its stated purpose. It requires a `VOICEMONKEY_TOKEN` for authentication, which is standard for API-based skills. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution (e.g., `curl|bash`), persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent within the skill's definition. While the API allows displaying arbitrary URLs for images, videos, or websites, the skill itself uses `example.com` placeholders and does not instruct the agent to use malicious URLs or perform any harmful actions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (VoiceMonkey control of Alexa devices) aligns with required credential VOICEMONKEY_TOKEN and the API endpoints shown in SKILL.md. No unrelated services, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is an instruction-only integration that demonstrates direct API calls (curl) to VoiceMonkey endpoints and shows how to set the VOICEMONKEY_TOKEN. It also suggests storing the token in ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json; this is reasonable but worth noting because it instructs where to persist the secret.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk model for install. The skill is purely instructions showing HTTP API usage.
Credentials
Only one required environment variable (VOICEMONKEY_TOKEN) is declared and used consistently in examples. This credential is necessary and sufficient for the described API operations, though it grants full control of connected devices.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no installation that modifies other skills or system-wide settings. Note: model invocation is allowed (default), so the agent could call the API autonomously if permitted by the platform.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install voicemonkey - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/voicemonkey - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
