Description
Check MiniMax coding plan usage/credits remaining. Requires MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: call MiniMax's remains endpoint and format a Discord-style alert. Before installing, confirm that minimax.io is the expected service and that you trust the owner (source/homepage is unknown). Protect the MINIMAX_API_KEY: store it in a secure secret store rather than exposing it directly in cron environment lines or logs. If you plan to pipe alerts to a webhook (Discord or other), ensure the webhook endpoint is trusted because alerts will contain usage information. If you need higher assurance, review the included script (scripts/minimax-usage.sh) yourself — it is short and readable — and rotate the API key if you later remove the skill or suspect leakage.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: minimax-usage-2
Version: 0.1.2
The skill bundle is a utility for monitoring MiniMax API credit usage. The bash script (scripts/minimax-usage.sh) queries the official MiniMax API endpoint, validates input parameters, and formats usage statistics for display. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (check remaining MiniMax coding-plan credits) match required artifacts: MINIMAX_API_KEY, curl, jq, and a single script that queries minimax.io. Requested binaries and env var are proportional to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the included script and optionally piping output to a webhook. The script only reads MINIMAX_API_KEY and talks to https://www.minimax.io; it does not read other files or environment variables. Note: the README encourages piping output to an external Discord webhook — users should ensure any webhook endpoint is trusted because alerts will be transmitted there.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only plus an included shell script). Nothing is downloaded or extracted at install time, so there is no additional install risk.
Credentials
Only MINIMAX_API_KEY is required. There are no unrelated secret env vars or config paths requested. The single credential is appropriate for querying the MiniMax API.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent system-wide privileges. It does not modify other skills or agent-wide configuration.
