/install toutiao-news-trends
Description
Fetch today's Toutiao trending news with titles, hotness scores, links, covers, labels, and category tags across multiple topics in Chinese.
Usage Guidance
This looks safe to install for fetching Toutiao trends. Before use, review the source if available, confirm you are comfortable with scraping www.toutiao.com, and avoid treating scraped news results as guaranteed complete or authoritative.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toutiao-news-trends
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions for fetching news trends from `www.toutiao.com` and contains no prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/toutiao.js` Node.js script implements a web scraper that exclusively targets `www.toutiao.com`, uses standard web scraping practices (random User-Agents, HTTP compression), and properly sanitizes its single command-line argument (`limit`). There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or other harmful behaviors.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The described capability is coherent: fetch trending news data from www.toutiao.com using a Node.js scraper, with a bounded user-supplied limit argument.
Instruction Scope
Runtime behavior appears scoped to the stated news-trends retrieval purpose; no scanner-supplied evidence indicates prompt injection, role changes, unrelated automation, or broad local access.
Install Mechanism
No suspicious install behavior was reported; the supplied telemetry describes a script-based skill rather than an installer, service, or dependency takeover mechanism.
Credentials
Network access and randomized User-Agent headers are expected for a web-scraping news-trends skill, but users should understand it contacts Toutiao and may be affected by that site's terms or anti-bot controls.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, privilege escalation, background worker, credential harvesting, destructive action, or local profile/session use was identified in the supplied evidence.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
