Net Detective

Run detailed network diagnostics including DNS resolution, traceroute, MTU, and speed tests, then provide a clear plain-English report explaining any issues...

What to consider before installing: - Functionally the package appears to do what it claims: run ping/traceroute/MTU/DNS checks and optional speed downloads and produce a human-readable report. Expect the scripts to call system binaries: ping, traceroute, ip/route, and curl. If those are missing the scripts will report errors. - Network traffic: the tool sends DNS queries to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 (and uses your system resolver) and downloads test payloads from Cloudflare's speed endpoint. That is expected for a speed/DNS tester, but be aware it contacts external servers. - Local persistence: results are recorded to a hardcoded history file (~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/net-detective/data/history.json). Review or back up that file if you care about privacy; the skill does not request credentials but it will store timestamps and network metrics locally. - Metadata mismatch: the registry metadata states "no required binaries / no config paths", which is misleading because the scripts assume system binaries and write to a history path. Treat that as sloppy packaging rather than an immediate red flag, but validate presence/permissions of the referenced binaries and the writable history path before running. - Code quality: there are signs of incomplete code/truncation in the provided diagnose.py (a truncated/incorrect return near run_speed) which may cause runtime errors. I recommend reviewing/ testing the scripts locally (or running them in an isolated/test environment) before relying on them for critical troubleshooting. - If you plan to share diagnostic output with others, inspect the saved JSON in the history path to ensure you are not exposing local hostnames/IPs you prefer to keep private. If you want, I can: (a) point out the exact lines where the metadata mismatches occur; (b) highlight the truncated/buggy portion in diagnose.py and suggest a fix; or (c) produce a safe, read-only dry-run checklist to run before executing these scripts on your machine.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: nai-net-detective Version: 1.0.0 The 'net-detective' skill bundle is a well-structured network diagnostic tool that performs DNS checks, ping tests, traceroute, MTU detection, and speed tests. All scripts (diagnose.py, dns_check.py, speedtest.py, etc.) use the Python standard library and standard system utilities like ping and curl in a safe manner (using subprocess lists to avoid shell injection). The data collected (local IP, gateway, and performance metrics) is strictly relevant to its stated purpose, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious intent.
