/install mqtt
Description
Implement MQTT messaging avoiding security, QoS, and connection management pitfalls.
Usage Guidance
This is a coherent, instruction-only MQTT best-practices guide that asks for no credentials or installs. Before using it: (1) verify the skill source if you require provenance (the registry metadata shows 'unknown' source/homepage missing), (2) treat the debugging suggestions carefully — subscribing to '#' or running mosquitto_sub -v can expose sensitive broker traffic and should only be done in controlled/testing environments, and (3) if you let an agent act on these instructions automatically, ensure it cannot execute destructive or broad network commands on production systems. Test recommendations in a staging environment and cross-check with official broker docs (Mosquitto, MQTT RFCs) for critical deployments.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mqtt
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides educational content and best practices for MQTT, covering security, QoS, topic design, connection management, retained messages, and Mosquitto specifics. While it mentions commands like `mosquitto_sub -v` and configuration snippets like `listener 1883 0.0.0.0`, these are presented in an informational or debugging context, not as direct instructions for an AI agent to execute maliciously. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the SKILL.md content: security, QoS, topic design, connection management, Mosquitto specifics and debugging. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or permissions.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is guidance-only and stays within MQTT topics; however it contains actionable debugging commands (e.g., 'mosquitto_sub -v' and advice to subscribe to '#') which, if executed in an environment, can expose all broker traffic. The document does not instruct reading unrelated files or env vars.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files present; instruction-only skills have the lowest install risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; nothing disproportionate is required for the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and default model invocation is allowed (normal). The skill does not request persistent installation or modify other skills/configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mqtt - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mqtt - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
