Usage Guidance
Before installing: 1) Understand data flow — this skill sends requests (including your query text) to https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp. Do not include secrets or private data in prompts you expect the skill to forward. 2) Verify the source — the SKILL.md points to a GitHub repo and a ClawHub page; inspect that repo to confirm it matches the published SKILL.md and to ensure no hidden code is present. 3) Ask the author/maintainer about package.json's declared tools ('exec', 'read') — these permissions are broader than the documented curl-only behavior. 4) If you need stronger privacy, avoid installing and instead manually query the MCP endpoint from an isolated environment or request a self-hosted alternative. 5) Test with innocuous queries and inspect responses; check TLS certificate for the endpoint and consider network/firewall controls if you are in a sensitive environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: marsbit-crypto-news-skill
Version: 1.0.8
The skill provides access to crypto-native news and flash updates from the MarsBit platform via a hosted MCP endpoint (https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp). It uses standard curl commands to interact with the API for tasks like searching news, listing channels, and retrieving article details. All requested permissions (exec, curl) and instructions in SKILL.md are directly aligned with its stated purpose, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the runtime instructions: the skill calls a hosted MCP at https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp to fetch crypto/Web3 news. However package.json declares OpenClaw dependencies on generic tools 'exec' and 'read' (and lists 'tools': ['exec','read']) that are not required by the SKILL.md (which only uses curl). That is an unnecessary/extra permission surface and should be explained by the author.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines runtime behavior to POSTing JSON to the listed MCP endpoint and parsing responses. It does not instruct reading local files or environment secrets. Important privacy/security note: any user-provided prompts or context the agent sends will be transmitted to the external host (www.marsbit.co). If users include sensitive data in queries, that data will leave the local environment.
Install Mechanism
Install spec only references Homebrew formula 'curl' (a standard HTTP client). This is a low-risk, well-known package source; no downloads from arbitrary URLs or archived extracts are used. The skill is instruction-only with no code files to write/execute on install.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. That is proportionate for a read-only news-fetching skill. The one inconsistency is package.json listing 'tools': ['exec','read'] which implies permission to execute or read files — not justified by SKILL.md.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install scripts or config writes are specified. The skill does not request permanent elevated presence or system-wide config changes.
