Install in OpenClaw
/install linkedin-cli
Description
A bird-like LinkedIn CLI for searching profiles, checking messages, and summarizing your feed using session cookies.
Usage Guidance
Review this carefully before installing. Only use it in an isolated environment, understand that li_at and JSESSIONID can grant access to your LinkedIn account, avoid sharing terminal logs from message/feed commands, and prefer a pinned, reviewed dependency set if you proceed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: linkedin-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as benign. It transparently declares its need for sensitive LinkedIn session cookies (`LINKEDIN_LI_AT`, `LINKEDIN_JSESSIONID`) in `SKILL.md` and `scripts/lk.py`. The Python script uses these cookies solely to interact with the LinkedIn API via the `linkedin-api` library for its stated purpose (profile search, feed summary, messages). There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The behavior is clearly aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
The required environment variables are purpose-aligned, but they grant authenticated access to LinkedIn account data including private conversation previews, without an explicit permissions boundary.
Install Mechanism
The documented install command is pip install linkedin-api with no version pin or hash, and the runtime code gives that dependency access to the LinkedIn cookie jar.
Instruction Scope
Setup explicitly tells users to copy li_at and JSESSIONID cookies into environment variables, but does not warn that these are sensitive session credentials or explain safe handling and revocation.
Persistence & Privilege
No artifact-backed evidence of background persistence, privilege escalation, scheduled tasks, tool hijacking, or destructive local mutation was found.
Purpose & Capability
The profile, feed, search, and message features match the stated LinkedIn CLI purpose, but the authentication model uses active browser session cookies that can act as account bearer credentials.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install linkedin-cli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/linkedin-cli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
