Web Search

This skill should be used when users need to search the web for information, find current content, look up news articles, search for images, or find videos. It uses DuckDuckGo's search API to return results in clean, formatted output (text, markdown, or JSON). Use for research, fact-checking, finding recent information, or gathering web resources.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search terms to DuckDuckGo through the dependency it installs. Do not search for secrets, credentials, confidential business data, or highly sensitive personal information, and use --output only with intended non-sensitive file paths because existing files may be overwritten.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: web-search Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides web search functionality using the legitimate `duckduckgo-search` library. The `SKILL.md` documentation is clear and does not contain any prompt injection attempts or instructions for malicious behavior. The `scripts/search.py` code is well-structured and primarily interacts with the DuckDuckGo API. However, the script includes a `--output` argument that allows writing search results to an arbitrary file path specified by the user. While this is a documented and plausible feature for saving results, it represents a file write capability that, if misused by a compromised or maliciously prompted agent, could lead to writing data to sensitive system locations. This constitutes a risky capability without clear malicious intent, classifying it as suspicious.
