All data from free US government APIs. Zero cost. No API keys required.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or using this skill, consider the following:
- The SKILL.md routes all queries through a third‑party MCP endpoint (us-safety-recalls-mcp.apify.actor). This is not an official government domain — the operator of that endpoint could log, store, or modify queries and results. If your queries include any sensitive information, do not use this skill.
- Verify the mcporter binary provenance (where it comes from) before installing/running it. Only install binaries from sources you trust.
- Inspect the GitHub homepage/repo (https://github.com/martc03/gov-mcp-servers) and confirm who runs the apify actor and what their privacy/security practices are. If the repo or actor is not from a trusted maintainer, treat the endpoint as untrusted.
- Backup ~/.openclaw/mcp.json before editing; adding the server creates a persistent routing rule. Ensure adding the entry will not overwrite or expose other MCP credentials/config.
- If you prefer not to trust a third party, consider pointing mcporter to your own proxy or directly querying the official government APIs (NHTSA, FDA, CFPB) instead of using the hosted apify actor.
- Test the skill with non-sensitive/sample queries first to observe behavior and responses.
Given the external proxying behavior, only proceed if you trust the operator of the apify.actor endpoint or if you host/operate the MCP server yourself.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gov-safety-recalls
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle appears benign. The `SKILL.md` clearly describes its purpose to search government safety recalls and consumer complaints, providing setup instructions for the `mcporter` tool to connect to an external service hosted on `apify.actor`. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the AI agent, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. All external URLs and tool requirements are consistent with the stated functionality and standard OpenClaw skill operation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (NHTSA, FDA, CFPB searches) align with the runtime instructions and declared requirement (the mcporter binary). Requiring mcporter makes sense because the SKILL.md shows adding a remote MCP server via mcporter.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent/operator to add a remote MCP server at https://us-safety-recalls-mcp.apify.actor/mcp (via mcporter or by editing ~/.openclaw/mcp.json). That means all queries and responses will flow through that third‑party server (hosted on apify.actor) rather than directly to government APIs — the server could log or modify requests/responses. The instructions also suggest editing a config file in the user's home directory (~/.openclaw/mcp.json), which is persistent and could contain other MCP entries; the skill does not explicitly warn about backing up or inspecting that file.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code is included (instruction-only), so nothing will be written by the skill itself. However it depends on an external tooling binary (mcporter) being present. The runtime behavior depends on a remote URL (apify.actor) which is a third‑party proxy rather than an official government endpoint; that external network dependency increases risk compared with direct API calls.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths beyond the optional MCP config entry. This is proportionate to the described read-only data retrieval use case.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-included and is user-invocable. It does instruct adding a persistent MCP server entry to ~/.openclaw/mcp.json (or adding it via mcporter), which grants the remote server ongoing ability to receive queries; that persistent routing is a privacy consideration but not an elevated platform privilege.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gov-safety-recalls - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gov-safety-recalls - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
