Description
OpenStreetMap geocoding — forward/reverse geocoding and place lookups via the Nominatim API
Usage Guidance
This skill is a thin wrapper that forwards geocoding queries to Pipeworx's gateway (https://gateway.pipeworx.io). Before installing or using it, consider: (1) privacy — address strings and coordinates are potentially sensitive PII and will be sent to a third party (review Pipeworx's privacy policy and audit their gateway if this matters); (2) authenticity — the gateway is not the official OpenStreetMap Nominatim server, so responses may differ and you should verify TLS/certificate and trustworthiness; (3) optional setup risk — the SKILL.md suggests running npx mcp-remote@latest, which would execute code fetched from the npm registry (avoid running it unless you trust the package and its source); and (4) rate limits and terms — Nominatim usage policies apply, and the gateway claims to enforce them but you should confirm behavior for bulk or sensitive requests.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-nominatim
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides standard geocoding and reverse geocoding functionality using the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API. It utilizes a remote MCP gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) via the standard mcp-remote utility. No malicious logic, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts were found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the SKILL.md shows the agent calling a Pipeworx gateway to perform forward/reverse geocoding. Required binaries are only curl, which is appropriate for making HTTP calls.
Instruction Scope
Instructions direct requests to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nominatim/mcp (a third‑party gateway) rather than directly to nominatim.openstreetmap.org. This is coherent with the skill's purpose but means user-provided addresses/coordinates are sent off‑host; the SKILL.md also includes an example setup that runs npx to fetch mcp-remote, which would execute remote code if the user follows it.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by default. The only install-like action appears in an optional setup snippet that uses npx to run mcp-remote@latest; that is not required by the skill but carries the usual risks of executing a remote package if run.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportional to its function as a simple HTTP-based wrapper to a geocoding service.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not ask to modify agent/system configuration. It does not request elevated persistence or access to other skills' credentials.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-nominatim - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-nominatim - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
