Description
Pokemon MCP — wraps PokéAPI (free, no auth required)
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a lightweight wrapper for PokéAPI, but the runtime instructions tell the agent to run 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest' and connect to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pokemon/mcp. Running npx with @latest downloads and executes remote npm code on your agent — treat that like running arbitrary software. Before installing or allowing autonomous use, consider:
- Only proceed if you trust the package author and pipeworx gateway. Verify the 'mcp-remote' npm package and its source repository (avoid @latest; prefer a pinned version and checksum).
- Understand data flow: queries will go through gateway.pipeworx.io, not directly to PokéAPI; confirm whether query data or logs are retained by that service.
- If you want lower risk, call the public PokéAPI directly from the agent (no npx), or run the connector inside an isolated environment (container/sandbox) you control.
- Ask the skill author to: declare the npx dependency in metadata, pin the package version (and provide integrity info), or provide source code instead of relying on npx @latest.
Given the dynamic code execution and external gateway, this skill is coherent with its purpose but warrants caution.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-pokemon
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a standard wrapper for the PokéAPI, utilizing the `mcp-remote` tool to connect to a remote gateway at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pokemon/mcp`. The configuration and instructions in SKILL.md are consistent with its stated purpose and do not contain any malicious patterns, data exfiltration attempts, or prompt injection risks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared purpose (wraps PokéAPI) matches the tool names and the Pipeworx pack homepage. However the SKILL.md omits a required runtime dependency: it instructs the agent to run 'npx', which is not declared in the skill metadata. That omission reduces transparency.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs usage of 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pokemon/mcp'. This will (a) download and execute third‑party code on the agent runtime, and (b) open a connection to gateway.pipeworx.io rather than calling the public PokéAPI directly. The doc does not explain what data is sent to the gateway or whether queries are proxied or logged.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec, but the instructions rely on npx to fetch and run mcp-remote@latest. Using npx with @latest means dynamic code execution of a package pulled from the npm registry at runtime — this is equivalent to downloading and running remote code and is a higher-risk install pattern. No package version lock or integrity check is provided.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to a read-only wrapper around PokéAPI; there is no direct request for secrets or unrelated credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not set to always:true and does not request any persistent system-wide changes in SKILL.md. It appears to be user-invokable only and does not claim to modify other skills or agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-pokemon - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-pokemon - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
