Description
Real-time crypto, equities, macro, and financial market news aggregator — 85+ data sources across 6 categories covering digital assets, U.S. stocks, semiconductors, AI infrastructure, supply chains, commodities, rates, policy, and market-moving social/news signals. Sources include Bloomberg, Reuters
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable granting this skill access to run curl commands against the OpenNews/6551 API with your OPENNEWS_TOKEN. Treat the token as sensitive, avoid printing or saving WebSocket URLs that include it, and prefer a version that removes the unused local read permission or limits file access to explicit user-selected paths.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access to ai.6551.io and use of OPENNEWS_TOKEN are purpose-aligned, but broad local file-read authority is not scoped to user-selected files or explained by the skill.
Install Mechanism
package.json requests both exec and read tool access, while the documented workflows only require curl and optional jq for remote API calls; the read permission is overbroad for the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The skill provides endpoint usage instructions, search guidance, and response interpretation notes; I found no prompt hijacking, memory poisoning, hidden role changes, or unrelated execution instructions.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, local modification, scheduled tasks, or privilege escalation were found, but the WebSocket example places the bearer token in a URL query string, which can be captured in logs or diagnostics.
Purpose & Capability
The documented purpose is financial and crypto news retrieval through the 6551/OpenNews API, and the curl-based API calls are consistent with that purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
