Description
Discover craft breweries across the US — search by name, city, or ID via Open Brewery DB
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a thin wrapper around an external Pipeworx gateway that proxies Open Brewery DB. Before installing, consider: 1) the SKILL.md will make network requests to https://gateway.pipeworx.io — any query or context sent could leave your environment; avoid including secrets or sensitive context. 2) The example MCP config runs 'npx mcp-remote@latest', which would download and execute code from npm; the manifest doesn't declare npm/npx as a requirement — ask the publisher to clarify or declare it. 3) If you prefer lower risk, request a version that calls the official Open Brewery DB API directly (api.openbrewerydb.org) or ask for the source code so you can review what the gateway does. 4) If you proceed, test in a sandboxed environment and verify the Pipeworx gateway's trustworthiness and privacy policy.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-breweries
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for searching the Open Brewery DB via a remote MCP server. It uses standard tools like curl and the mcp-remote utility to interact with the API hosted at gateway.pipeworx.io. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or the configuration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to query Open Brewery DB (reasonable for a brewery-finder). However, instead of calling the public Open Brewery DB API directly, the SKILL.md shows POSTs to https://gateway.pipeworx.io and provides an MCP client config that runs 'npx ... mcp-remote@latest'. The declared required binary is only curl — there is a mismatch because using the provided MCP client config would require npx/npm. Relying on a third-party gateway to proxy the API is a legitimate design choice but should be explicit.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are mostly scoped to making HTTP RPC calls to pipeworx's gateway to invoke tools like 'breweries_by_city'. They do not instruct reading local files or environment variables. However, the agent will send user queries (and possibly other context) to an external endpoint (gateway.pipeworx.io), which means user data may be transmitted off-host. The SKILL.md does not limit or describe what user context is sent.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is declared (instruction-only), which is low-risk, but the MCP client config explicitly uses 'npx -y mcp-remote@latest' to run a remote package. That implies downloading and executing code from the npm registry, yet npm/npx is not listed in required bins. This implicit remote install/execution is a potential risk and an incoherence in the manifest.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is proportionate for a public data lookup. Still, because queries are forwarded to an external gateway, users should be aware that any information included in queries or context will be transmitted externally.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent system privileges or modify other skill configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other high-risk flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-breweries - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-breweries - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
