Description
Manage Zendesk tickets, users, and support workflows with API integration and automation.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: it will use your Zendesk API token/email/subdomain to call Zendesk endpoints and may save credentials to ~/zendesk/memory.md. Before installing or using it: (1) prefer setting credentials as environment variables rather than pasting them in chat; (2) if you must store credentials on disk, restrict permissions on ~/zendesk/ (chmod 700) and avoid committing that folder to version control; (3) use a least-privileged API token/account for automation and rotate the token if it is shared; (4) note the documentation uses inconsistent variable names in places—confirm which env var names the agent expects; (5) test with a non-production Zendesk account if possible.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: zendesk Version: 1.0.0 The skill's core functionality aligns with its stated purpose of managing Zendesk, with all API calls directed at legitimate Zendesk endpoints. However, it stores sensitive API credentials (Zendesk subdomain, email, and API token) in plain text within `~/zendesk/memory.md`, as explicitly detailed in `SKILL.md`, `memory-template.md`, and `setup.md`. This practice represents a significant vulnerability, as these credentials could be exposed to other local processes or unauthorized users if the file permissions are not strictly enforced. While there is no evidence of intentional malicious activity or exfiltration to unauthorized third parties, this insecure credential storage method makes the skill suspicious due to the high risk of credential compromise.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with the declared env vars (ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN, ZENDESK_EMAIL, ZENDESK_TOKEN) and the runtime instructions, which all focus on Zendesk API operations. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions direct the agent to request API credentials, test auth, and store a memory folder at ~/zendesk/ (including memory.md containing credentials and preferences). That is within the skill's purpose, but it explicitly asks the agent to collect and persist API credentials to disk — users should be aware credentials may be saved locally if they follow the setup flow. Documentation variable names are inconsistent in places (e.g., EMAIL/API_TOKEN vs ZENDESK_EMAIL/ZENDESK_TOKEN), which could lead to mistakes.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. No downloads, packages, or extra binaries are requested.
Credentials
Only Zendesk-specific environment variables are required (subdomain, email, token). This is proportional to the stated functionality. The skill does suggest persisting credentials in ~/zendesk/memory.md; storing API tokens on disk is a sensitive operation but consistent with the skill's needs.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill creates and uses a local ~/zendesk/ memory folder and may save credentials there. always:false (normal). Writing its own files is expected, but users should be aware of local persistence of credentials and ensure proper file permissions and handling.
