Description
Read Bluesky profiles, posts, feeds, followers, and threads via the AT Protocol — 8 tools, mostly public endpoints
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a simple proxy to a third-party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) for reading Bluesky data — that part is coherent. The main problem: its docs tell you to include your bsky_handle and bsky_app_password as query parameters on the gateway URL. That would send your app password to pipeworx (and could leak via logs, referer headers, analytics). Before installing or using it: (1) Confirm you trust the pipeworx gateway and review its privacy/security policy; (2) avoid putting credentials in a URL — prefer server-side auth, POST bodies, or Authorization headers; (3) if you must use an app password, create a scoped/ephemeral password you can revoke; (4) consider running your own MCP/gateway instance instead of a third party; (5) ask the skill author why credentials are not declared in requires.env and why secure auth patterns (env vars, headers) aren't used. If you cannot verify the gateway's trustworthiness, do not supply real Bluesky credentials to it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: pipeworx-bluesky Version: 1.0.0 The skill documentation (SKILL.md) directs users to route all Bluesky interactions through a third-party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) and explicitly instructs the inclusion of sensitive credentials (bsky_app_password) as plaintext query parameters in the URL. This practice exposes credentials to server logs and intermediaries. While the tools appear functional for their stated purpose, the reliance on a remote proxy and the insecure handling of authentication tokens represent a significant security risk.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the skill is an instruction-only wrapper for Bluesky (AT Protocol) read endpoints exposed through gateway.pipeworx.io. Requiring curl (a client to call HTTP endpoints) is appropriate.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs HTTP calls to the pipeworx gateway and configuration for an MCP client; it does not ask the agent to read local files or unrelated environment variables. However, it explicitly instructs passing credentials as query parameters on the gateway URL for authenticated search, which is a security/correctness concern (credentials in URLs are easily leaked via logs, referer headers, etc.).
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest installation risk. The skill is instruction-only and relies on curl being present.
Credentials
The skill declares no required credentials, yet the documentation instructs users to provide Bluesky credentials (bsky_handle and bsky_app_password) to the pipeworx gateway as query parameters. That means sensitive credentials would be transmitted to a third party (gateway.pipeworx.io) even though the skill doesn't declare or protect them. This is disproportionate and potentially hazardous.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and uses normal model invocation. It doesn't request persistent system-wide configuration or elevated privileges.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install pipeworx-bluesky
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /pipeworx-bluesky
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
