Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent with its purpose. Before installing: (1) verify pilotctl and the Pilot Protocol daemon are from trusted sources and up to date, since this skill relies on them for network access; (2) understand that joining network 9 means communicating with overlay peers — only use if you trust that network and its agents; (3) review the referenced pilot-protocol and pilot-service-agents skills (their code/publishers) if possible, because they handle the actual network requests; (4) avoid sending sensitive credentials or private data through these agents (the skill is for metadata only); (5) if you need stronger guarantees, inspect the daemon/pilotctl code or run them in an isolated environment. If you want a deeper assessment, provide the pilot-protocol and pilot-service-agents skill sources or the pilotctl binary provenance.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pilot-service-agents-academic
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides an interface for querying academic databases via the Pilot Protocol, requiring the use of the `pilotctl` binary and shell execution (`Bash`). It is classified as suspicious because it mandates joining an external network (Network 9) and executing commands through a non-standard binary, which are high-risk capabilities even if plausibly needed for the stated purpose. No clear evidence of intentional malice or data exfiltration was found in SKILL.md or README.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (academic bibliographic searches) align with the declared requirements: pilotctl on PATH, a running Pilot Protocol daemon, and a reachable 'list-agents' directory on network 9. Those are sensible prerequisites for a skill that sends messages to overlay agents.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to run pilotctl commands (send-message, inbox, list-agents) and to read agent responses. It does not request unrelated files, environment variables, or system state. It explicitly returns metadata only (no full-text download).
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing will be written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself. Risk depends on the external pilotctl/daemon software, not this skill.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. That is proportionate for a metadata-only discovery/search skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (good). disable-model-invocation:false is the platform default (the agent may invoke the skill autonomously). This is expected, but autonomous actions increase blast radius if the underlying Pilot Protocol stack (pilotctl/daemon) or overlay peers are untrusted.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pilot-service-agents-academic - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pilot-service-agents-academic - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
