Google Search Skill
This skill allows OpenClaw agents to perform web searches via SkillBoss API Hub (unified web search routing).
Setup
- SkillBoss API Key: Obtain your API key from SkillBoss API Hub.
- Environment: Store your credentials in a
.envfile in your workspace:SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_key_here
Workflow
... (rest of file)
Example Usage
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=xxx python3 skills/google-search/scripts/search.py "OpenClaw documentation"
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims (send queries to SkillBoss and return results) but the registry metadata failing to declare the required SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is inconsistent and should be resolved before installing. Before using: (1) verify the skill owner and source (no homepage provided and owner ID is unknown); (2) confirm the registry metadata is updated to list SKILLBOSS_API_KEY as a required credential; (3) only provide an API key with minimal scope and rotate it if you test the skill; (4) be aware that every query and its contents will be sent to api.skillbossai.com — avoid sending sensitive data. If you need higher assurance, request a signed checksum of the script or an authoritative homepage/repo for review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: godfery-google-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides a straightforward implementation for web searching via the SkillBoss API. The Python script (scripts/search.py) uses the requests library to send queries to a legitimate-appearing API endpoint (api.skillbossai.com) using a user-provided API key, with no evidence of data exfiltration, command injection, or malicious instructions.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (web search via SkillBoss API Hub) match the code: the script issues a search request to api.skillbossai.com and returns results. The network calls are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script are narrowly scoped to performing web searches. The runtime only reads the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY env var, posts queries to the SkillBoss API, and prints results; there are no instructions to read unrelated files or exfiltrate other data.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with a small Python script and no install spec — nothing is downloaded or written by an installer. Risk from install mechanism is low.
Credentials
The code and SKILL.md require SKILLBOSS_API_KEY (example usage and os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]), but the registry metadata lists no required environment variables or primary credential. That mismatch is a red flag: the skill needs a secret that the registry did not declare. The script will send queries (and thus whatever you search) to the external SkillBoss endpoint, so you should only use a key you trust and that has appropriate scope.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent system privileges, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined here with other high-risk factors.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install godfery-google-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/godfery-google-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
