Description
YouTube analytics and research API. Search channels, find video outliers, get video details/transcripts/comments, and run scans. Use for YouTube niche resear...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to calling TubeLab's public API. Before installing: ensure you trust tubelab.net and understand billing (the docs mention paid credits and subscriptions), keep your TUBELAB_API_KEY secret, and be aware that transcripts/comments returned by the API may contain personal data you should handle carefully. Because the skill makes network requests, only enable autonomous invocation if you trust the service and the agent's behavior; otherwise restrict use to explicit (user-invoked) calls.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tubelab-api
Version: 1.0.4
The skill bundle provides documentation and examples for interacting with the TubeLab YouTube analytics API. It requires `curl` and `jq` binaries and an API key (`TUBELAB_API_KEY`). All `curl` commands target the legitimate API endpoint `https://public-api.tubelab.net/v1` and only transmit the necessary API key. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution (e.g., `curl | bash`), persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the AI agent. The `date` commands are used safely for generating date strings.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the declared needs: the SKILL.md documents a REST API for YouTube analytics and the skill only requires an API key and common CLI tools (curl, jq) which are appropriate for the provided curl examples.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to calling TubeLab REST endpoints (curl examples) and parsing JSON; the doc does not instruct reading local files, other environment variables, or sending data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to download or execute, so nothing is written to disk by an installer.
Credentials
Only a single API key (TUBELAB_API_KEY) is required and is consistent with the documented Authorization header; no unrelated secrets or system paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide configuration changes; it can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is expected for skills of this type.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tubelab-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tubelab-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
