Description
Manage your Operator fleet of AI agent instances. Create, configure, monitor, message, and manage OpenClaw agents. Handles authentication, instance lifecycle...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a thin set of instructions to talk to an Operator service and store an Operator API key in ~/.operator/config.json. Before installing or using it, verify that you actually trust the operator.io domain and the service owner (there's no homepage or source listed). Be aware that the flow will create a plaintext JSON file with your API key in your home directory — set its permissions (chmod 600 ~/.operator/config.json) and treat the key like any secret. Confirm the API key scopes/privileges on the Operator side and rotate the key if you later suspect compromise. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher for source code or an official homepage and verify the owner identity; without that provenance you are trusting the remote Operator service and whoever controls the operator.io domain.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: operator
Version: 1.0.0
The 'operator' skill is a legitimate integration for managing AI agent fleets via the operator.io platform. It implements standard CLI-style authentication by polling a session endpoint, stores credentials locally in ~/.operator/config.json, and interacts with a central API to manage instances and secrets. The use of python3 and curl for parsing SSE streams is consistent with the stated purpose and lacks indicators of malicious intent or unauthorized data exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description describe an Operator fleet manager and the runtime instructions exclusively target an Operator service (https://www.operator.io) and an on-disk Operator config (~/.operator/config.json). Required capabilities (auth, instance lifecycle, logs, webhooks) align with the API calls shown.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits its operations to reading/writing ~/.operator/config.json, running small one-shot python/curl commands, and contacting operator.io endpoints. The only local file referenced is the per-user config, which is appropriate for storing an API key. The instructions do not request unrelated system files, environment variables, or external endpoints outside the Operator service.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only and relies on standard system tools (python3, curl). No downloads or archive extraction are performed.
Credentials
The skill does not request any environment variables, credentials, or config paths beyond a single per-user config file (~/.operator/config.json) that is used to store the Operator API key and URL. That is proportionate to a CLI-style API client.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It instructs creating a per-user config file to persist the API key, which is expected behavior for a manager CLI.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install operator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/operator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
