Description
Use this skill when the user needs Twitter/X audience collection through Apify actors (followers/following/both) with optional email enrichment, username ext...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and does what it says: it uses your APIFY_TOKEN to call Apify and run follower/email actors, returning normalized rows. Before installing or running it: 1) Treat APIFY_TOKEN as sensitive—use a token scoped/minimized for this purpose or a throwaway/test token for initial tests; 2) Review the default actor IDs (bIYXeMcKISYGnHhBG and mSaHt2tt3Z7Fcwf0o) on Apify—those are third‑party actors and will run their code on Apify's platform when you invoke them; if you don't control those actors, inspect their source/behavior or replace them with actors you trust; 3) Test with small limits and with --include-emails disabled to verify behavior and cost; 4) Consider legal and privacy constraints (scraping/processing personal data and email enrichment may violate service terms or laws in some jurisdictions); 5) Note minor repo issues (duplicated frontmatter keys in SKILL.md and a small potential code bug around dt.UTC that could raise an exception) — these are not security red flags but you may want to run a quick smoke test locally. If you need to proceed but are unsure about the third‑party actors, ask the skill publisher for the actor source or use your own Apify actors instead.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: twitter-x-apify-actors
Version: 1.0.3
The skill is designed to interact with the Apify API for Twitter/X data collection, which aligns with its stated purpose. However, the `scripts/apify_twitter_actors.py` allows the `follower-actor-id` and `email-actor-id` to be overridden via command-line arguments. While this offers flexibility, it introduces a vulnerability where an AI agent or a malicious user could instruct the skill to execute arbitrary Apify actors (not just the intended ones) if input validation is insufficient at the agent runtime level. This constitutes a risky capability without clear malicious intent within the skill itself, thus classifying it as suspicious rather than malicious.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the files request and do: the skill runs Apify follower/email actors, accepts an APIFY_TOKEN, and includes a Python CLI that calls api.apify.com. The default actor IDs are documented and configurable. Nothing in the repo asks for unrelated cloud credentials or unrelated binaries.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script only instruct calling Apify endpoints and running the included Python CLI. The script posts payloads to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts and returns normalized JSON. This is in-scope for the stated purpose. Important note: running the skill executes remote Apify actors (third‑party code identified by actor IDs); those actors run on Apify and can process or forward collected data—review those actors on Apify if you don't control them.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; it's instruction-only plus a small Python script and a single dependency (requests). That is proportionate and low-risk from an install perspective.
Credentials
Only APIFY_TOKEN is required, which is appropriate. However APIFY_TOKEN is a sensitive credential granting access to your Apify account (start runs, access datasets, potentially incur costs). Ensure you understand the token's privileges and avoid using a token with broader permissions than necessary.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request permanent presence or special agent-wide privileges (always:false). It does not modify other skills or system settings and has no config path requirements.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install twitter-x-apify-actors - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/twitter-x-apify-actors - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
