/install netstat
Description
Display network connections, listening ports, and routing tables. Use when diagnosing network issues.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements local network diagnostics. Notes: it will create ~/.local/share/netstat (empty by default), read /etc/resolv.conf to show DNS servers, and call system tools (ss/netstat/ip/ifconfig/route) which may require those binaries to be present and in some cases elevated privileges to show process names. As with any third-party script, if you have concerns, inspect scripts/script.sh yourself and verify bytesagain.com/contact information before installing. No network exfiltration or external endpoints are present in the provided files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: netstat
Version: 3.0.0
The skill provides standard network diagnostic utilities (ss, ip, netstat) and is functionally safe. While it contains minor logic errors in argument handling within scripts/script.sh (referencing $2 instead of $1 in several functions) and a typo in the help output, there is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md commands, and included script all implement typical netstat-like diagnostics (listen, connections, ports, stats, interfaces, route, dns). Requested resources (none) align with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to run scripts/script.sh with specific subcommands; the script only runs local networking utilities and reads /etc/resolv.conf. It does not request unrelated system data or transmit data externally.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with an included shell script and no install spec; nothing is downloaded or written beyond creating a local data dir (~/.local/share/netstat).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or external API keys are requested. The script only uses standard system tools (ss/netstat/ip/ifconfig/route/cat) and creates a per-user data directory.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system-wide config. It creates a user-local directory but does not persist credentials or enable elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install netstat - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/netstat - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
