/install opennews-mcp
Description
Crypto news search, AI ratings, trading signals, and real-time updates via the OpenNews 6551 API. Supports keyword search, coin filtering, source filtering,...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the OpenNews/6551 service. Treat OPENNEWS_TOKEN like an API key, avoid putting secrets or sensitive personal data in search terms, and treat AI ratings or trading signals as informational rather than financial advice.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: opennews-mcp
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenNews skill is benign. It clearly defines its purpose as interacting with the OpenNews 6551 API for crypto news. All `curl` commands target the specified `https://ai.6551.io` endpoint, correctly use the `$OPENNEWS_TOKEN` for authentication, and process data locally with `jq`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent in `SKILL.md`.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is crypto news search, source filtering, AI ratings, and trading-signal fields from the OpenNews/6551 API; the artifact examples align with that purpose and do not show trading, account mutation, or unrelated capabilities.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are scoped to explicit curl requests to https://ai.6551.io endpoints with documented parameters and optional local jq filtering.
Install Mechanism
The package contains only SKILL.md and declares curl as the install dependency; there are no executable scripts, bundled binaries, or automatic setup commands.
Credentials
The OPENNEWS_TOKEN credential and user search parameters are sent to a third-party API, which is expected for this integration and disclosed by the base URL and authentication examples, though a clearer privacy warning would be useful.
Persistence & Privilege
No background workers, persistence mechanisms, local indexing, credential-store reads, privilege escalation, destructive commands, or file mutation are present.
