Description
Use this skill for XCrawl crawl tasks, including bulk site crawling, crawler rule design, async status polling, and delivery of crawl output for downstream s...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for using XCrawl: it reads an API key from ~/.xcrawl/config.json and uses curl/node to call run.xcrawl.com. Before installing, verify you trust the publisher and the homepage (https://www.xcrawl.com/), ensure the local config file is created with correct file permissions (restrict to your user), and confirm you are comfortable storing the API key in that file. Consider removing Write/Edit permissions if you want the skill strictly read-only. Also be aware of crawl costs (credits) and that some crawl options (e.g., webhook settings or submitting private URLs) can expose data to external endpoints — review request bodies and webhook targets before use. Finally, note defaults like skip_tls_verification=true appear in the API schema; if you need secure TLS verification, override that option when calling the API.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: xcrawl-crawl
Version: 1.0.2
The skill is designed to orchestrate web crawling tasks using the XCrawl API (run.xcrawl.com). It uses standard tools like curl and node to interact with the API and requires a local configuration file (~/.xcrawl/config.json) to store the API key, which is a common and legitimate pattern for such integrations. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or the associated metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (XCrawl crawl) align with instructions: it calls XCrawl endpoints, needs an XCrawl API key stored at ~/.xcrawl/config.json, and expects curl/node to be available. Required bins and the local config file are proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to read ~/.xcrawl/config.json for XCRAWL_API_KEY and to call https://run.xcrawl.com. That is appropriate for this integration. Minor note: the allowed-tools list includes Write/Edit in addition to Read/Grep — the documentation never requires writing arbitrary files, so Write/Edit appears unnecessary and could be tightened.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no downloads — lowest-risk install footprint.
Credentials
No global environment variables or unrelated credentials are requested. The API key is read from a local config file (~/.xcrawl/config.json), which the SKILL.md documents and the metadata reflects (apiKeySource: local_config). This is proportionate to the skill's function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill has no install hooks or system-wide changes. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with any broad privileges or unrelated credential access.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install xcrawl-crawl - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/xcrawl-crawl - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
