Description
Before any destructive or irreversible action, run a safety pre-flight — check risks, reversibility, and timing.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or enabling this skill: (1) Verify the endpoints (think.agentutil.net, undo.agentutil.net, context.agentutil.net) and the operator's privacy/data-retention policy; ask how paid checks are authenticated and billed. (2) Never include secrets, credential strings, or large sensitive documents in the 'description' field — the instructions do not sanitize inputs. (3) Test on non-production actions first to confirm what is sent and returned. (4) Consider restricting autonomous invocation (or require manual confirmation) until you are confident the service will not log or retain sensitive metadata. (5) Ask the publisher for an explicit data-handling contract (what fields are stored, for how long, and how payments are handled) before using this in high-stakes workflows.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: safe-action
Version: 1.0.1
The 'safe-action' skill (SKILL.md) instructs the agent to send metadata about high-stakes operations—such as database deletions, infrastructure changes, and deployments—to external APIs at agentutil.net. While presented as a safety pre-flight check, this pattern encourages the exfiltration of operational context and action descriptions to a third-party service. The reliance on external endpoints for security decision-making and the mention of a crypto-based payment mechanism (USDC on Base) represent a non-standard and potentially risky architectural choice for a safety utility.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the instructions: the skill only performs safety pre-flight checks by calling three AgentUtil services (think, undo, context). It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent to POST structured action metadata (action descriptions, platform names, timezones) to external HTTP endpoints. The doc asserts only structured metadata is sent, but there is no enforcement or sanitization step in the instructions — an agent or user could inadvertently include sensitive details (secrets, PII, long textual context) in the 'description' field. The workflow does recommend explicit user approval before proceeding, which limits autonomy, but the risk of accidental data leakage during the checks remains.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files; nothing will be written to disk by the skill itself. Low install risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, consistent with using public/free endpoints. However, the documentation mentions paid sub-checks billed in USDC via 'x402 (USDC on Base)' without explaining how billing/authentication is performed; that gap is unclear and should be clarified before relying on paid functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true. disable-model-invocation is false (normal), but the SKILL.md explicitly instructs not to proceed without explicit user confirmation, reducing autonomous risk. The skill does not request persistent agent-level privileges or modify other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install safe-action - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/safe-action - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
