patent-search

Search, view and analyze patents directly in OpenClaw. Supports global patent databases with intelligent search and analysis features.

This package largely looks like a legitimate client for the 9235.net patent API and needs a PATENT_API_TOKEN. However: 1) Registry metadata claims no env vars while SKILL.md and the code require PATENT_API_TOKEN — confirm which is authoritative before installing. 2) Examine patent_token.py and check_env.py to ensure they only read the declared environment variable or call the OpenClaw CLI and do not open unrelated host config files or exec arbitrary commands. 3) Open SKILL.md in a hex-capable editor and remove/verify any zero-width or bidi-control characters flagged by the scan. 4) Because the skill makes network calls, run it in a sandbox or with a token that has limited/replaceable permissions while you evaluate. 5) If you will supply a real API token, confirm the provider's terms and rotate the token after testing. If you want, provide the contents of patent_token.py and check_env.py and I can review them for any code that reads unexpected files or performs subprocess/network calls beyond the declared API.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: patent-search Version: 1.0.9 The patent-search skill bundle is a legitimate tool for searching and analyzing global patent data via the 9235.net API. It demonstrates high security awareness by implementing token redaction in all diagnostic scripts (debug_api_response.py, check_env.py, test_api.py) and following OpenClaw best practices by retrieving credentials via the official CLI (patent_token.py) rather than direct file access. The bundle includes comprehensive compliance documentation (COMPLIANCE.md) and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
