Description
Interact with Mealie recipe manager (recipes, shopping lists, meal plans). Self-hosted recipe and meal planning API client.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: a Node CLI that calls your Mealie instance using MEALIE_URL and MEALIE_API_TOKEN. Before installing: (1) confirm you trust the skill’s source since it will store/read a token in ~/.openclaw/.env or the skill .env; (2) prefer creating a limited-purpose API token in Mealie rather than using an admin token; (3) ensure MEALIE_URL uses HTTPS on a trusted host to avoid token exposure; (4) review the included script yourself if you are concerned (it is small and readable); and (5) avoid putting other secrets in the agent-level .env since the skill will read that file for MEALIE_* variables.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mealie-api
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw Mealie skill bundle is a benign API client for the Mealie recipe manager. It reads `MEALIE_URL` and `MEALIE_API_TOKEN` from specified `.env` files, as documented in `SKILL.md`, and uses these to make authenticated HTTP/HTTPS requests to the Mealie API via `scripts/mealie.js`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious code execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. All actions are consistent with its stated purpose of managing recipes, shopping lists, and meal plans.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Mealie recipe manager client) matches the declared requirements (node, MEALIE_URL, MEALIE_API_TOKEN) and the included script implements the described API calls (recipes, lists, meal plans).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the CLI commands are limited to calling the Mealie API. The script reads only MEALIE_URL and MEALIE_API_TOKEN (from environment or .env files) and makes HTTP(S) requests to the Mealie host; it does not reference other system paths or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or remote downloads are present; the skill is instruction + a local Node script. Nothing in the manifest pulls arbitrary code from external URLs.
Credentials
The skill requires only MEALIE_URL and MEALIE_API_TOKEN, which are precisely the credentials necessary for a Mealie client. The code explicitly loads only these two variables from skill-level and agent-level .env files.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated/system-wide privileges or modify other skills; it only reads its own /agent .env locations as documented.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mealie-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mealie-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
