Description
Security scanner for ClawHub skills from Gen Digital. Looks up skill safety via the scan API.
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent: it sends a ClawHub skill URL to ai.gendigital.com and uses the returned status/severity. Before installing, confirm you trust the external service (ai.gendigital.com) because the skill will transmit each scanned skill URL there. Check whether the API requires authentication (the skill provides no auth flow) and prefer scanning in a sandbox or using manual review for high‑risk skills. Because the package has no homepage or source link, prefer caution — verify the operator (Gen Digital) independently if you will rely on these scan results.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skillscanner
Version: 1.0.1
The skill 'skillscanner' is designed to check the safety of other ClawHub skills by querying a specific API endpoint (`https://ai.gendigital.com/api/scan/lookup`). The `SKILL.md` file contains clear instructions for the agent to make a `curl` POST request with the target skill's URL. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent to perform actions beyond its stated purpose. The 'Why This Matters' section describes general risks of untrusted skills, not actions this specific skill performs.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description say it looks up ClawHub skill safety via a scan API, and the SKILL.md instructs exactly that (POST to https://ai.gendigital.com/api/scan/lookup with the ClawHub URL). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested. Note: source/homepage are missing, but that does not make the functionality incoherent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrow: perform a single HTTP POST with the skill URL and interpret status and severity fields. The instructions do not ask the agent to read files, env vars, or other local data. The only data transmitted is the skill URL (which may include author/slug).
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only — so nothing is written to disk or installed by the skill.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill does not attempt to access unrelated secrets. One caveat: the SKILL.md provides no auth flow; if the API required credentials this skill does not handle them.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or modify other skill/system settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not excessive for this utility.
