/install yahoo-finance
Description
Get stock prices, quotes, fundamentals, earnings, options, dividends, and analyst ratings using Yahoo Finance. Uses yfinance library - no API key required.
Usage Guidance
Review this skill carefully before installing. Prefer installing uv through a trusted package manager or verified release instead of copying the remote execution commands, and do not run the global symlink or first-run dependency steps until the missing yf script and its exact dependencies are available for review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: yahoo-finance
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to the use of high-risk installation methods for the `uv` package manager, specifically `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` and `powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"` found in `SKILL.md`. While `uv` is a legitimate tool and `astral.sh` is its official domain, these methods involve downloading and executing arbitrary remote scripts, which bypasses package manager integrity checks and presents a significant security risk, even if plausibly needed for the skill's stated purpose. There is no clear evidence of intentional malicious behavior like data exfiltration or persistence.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access and Python dependencies fit the finance-data purpose, but remote script execution and optional global PATH symlinking are broader than needed for a quote lookup tool.
Install Mechanism
uv, yfinance, and rich are not pinned or hash-verified, and the documented installer paths depend on mutable remote or package-index content after review.
Instruction Scope
The setup instructions include pipe-to-shell and Invoke-Expression installer commands, including a PowerShell execution-policy bypass, which grants broad local code execution for a dependency install.
Persistence & Privilege
No hidden service, background worker, memory write, or credential persistence was found; disclosed persistence is limited to uv cache state and an optional global symlink.
Purpose & Capability
The stated Yahoo Finance lookup purpose is coherent, but the artifact contains only SKILL.md while instructions reference a missing yf executable and unverifiable first-run dependency behavior.
