Description
Use this skill to search Twitter/X for recent tweets matching keywords and engagement filters. Returns raw tweet data (text, author, likes, retweets, views,...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent: it simply calls the X/Twitter API and returns filtered tweet JSON. Before installing, be aware you must provide a valid TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN (keep it secret), expect pay-per-use charges and rate limits noted in the docs, and confirm the API hostname (api.x.com) matches the official API for your account. The doc suggests storing the token with a local tool ('hermes') — you don't have to use that; store the token safely. If you plan to let agents call this skill autonomously, remember it will be able to make live API requests using your bearer token, so grant access only if you trust the agent's behavior and budget constraints.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: x-twitter-news-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate tool for searching Twitter/X using the official API v2. It uses standard system utilities (curl, jq, date) to fetch and process tweet data, and its instructions in SKILL.md are strictly aligned with its stated purpose without any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binaries (curl, jq), and the single required env var (TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN) match the declared purpose of calling the Twitter/X REST API and parsing JSON. Nothing requested appears unrelated to fetching tweets.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only describes building queries, calling the API endpoint, and jq-based local filtering/formatting. It does not instruct reading unrelated files, scanning system state, or sending data to third-party endpoints. One minor note: the doc suggests saving the token with a 'hermes config set' command (a tool not listed as required) — this is a user convenience, not required for the skill to run.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only with no install spec or downloaded code. That minimizes filesystem and supply-chain risk.
Credentials
Only TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN is required (declared as primaryEnv). No unrelated secrets or many environment variables are requested. The token is proportionate for API access.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special persistent privileges are requested. The skill does not modify other skills or system-wide config. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but is not elevated here.
