Description
PC game deals from 30+ stores — search sales, compare prices, and track cheapest-ever prices via CheapShark
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (query a Pipeworx gateway for CheapShark game deals) and requires only curl. Be cautious about the MCP config: it suggests running 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest', which would download and execute code from npm. If you or your agent will use that MCP setup, verify and trust the pipeworx gateway and the mcp-remote package (review its source and maintainers). If you don't plan to run npx/mcp-remote, the skill can be used via the curl example without granting extra privileges. Also consider whether you want the agent to send user queries to an external service (gateway.pipeworx.io) before enabling autonomous invocation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-gamedeals
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a standard interface for searching PC game deals via the CheapShark API. It uses a remote MCP server hosted at gateway.pipeworx.io and the mcp-remote utility, with no evidence of malicious code, data exfiltration, or prompt injection in the SKILL.md or _meta.json files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill description (CheapShark / game deals) aligns with the curl-based example that POSTs to the pipeworx gateway. However, the provided MCP config uses 'npx' (node/npm) to fetch mcp-remote@latest but the manifest only declares curl as a required binary — a minor inconsistency in declared runtime requirements.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to querying the Pipeworx gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) for deal/search operations, which is expected. The MCP config snippet, however, instructs installing/running remote code via npx, which would execute code fetched from npm and may broaden the agent's actions beyond simple HTTP requests.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec (instruction-only), which is low risk. But the MCP config suggests using 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest', i.e., downloading and running code from the npm registry — a higher-risk install pattern if followed. The skill itself does not perform that install, but its documentation encourages it.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. Its external network calls are limited to the named gateway, which is proportionate to a web-API-backed deals lookup.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable; it does not request persistent system presence or elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-gamedeals - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-gamedeals - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
