Description
UK street-level crime data — reported crimes by location, police force directory, and case outcomes from data.police.uk
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a simple wrapper around UK police data, but it forwards queries to a third‑party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) rather than calling data.police.uk directly. Before installing or using it, consider: 1) Trust: verify the operator (pipeworx.io) and their privacy/security practices because your location queries (lat/lng and time) will be sent to that service; 2) Runtime risk: if you enable the MCP config the example runs `npx mcp-remote@latest` — that will download and execute code from npm (you should only do that if you trust the package and have Node/npm installed); 3) Incoherence: the skill metadata fails to list npx/node as a required binary despite the example using it. If you want a lower-risk alternative, call data.police.uk directly (their API is public) or request a version of this skill that documents and pins any required runtime packages and explicitly names required binaries.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-ukpolice
Version: 1.0.0
The pipeworx-ukpolice skill provides access to UK street-level crime data via a remote MCP server. It uses standard tools like npx mcp-remote to connect to a gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection in SKILL.md.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (street-level UK police data) match the examples and required binary (curl). However the supplied MCP example uses `npx mcp-remote@latest`, implying Node/npm (npx) is needed — but the skill's metadata does not declare node/npx as a required binary. That mismatch is an incoherence.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md's primary runtime example POSTs JSON to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ukpolice/mcp. That will transmit user-supplied location/month queries to a third‑party service rather than directly to data.police.uk. The instructions do not request reading local files or extra env vars, but they do send potentially sensitive location data off‑host.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec (instruction‑only), which is low risk on its own. But the MCP config example instructs use of `npx mcp-remote@latest`, which would fetch and run code from the npm registry at runtime. Running `npx ...@latest` executes remote code and is not enumerated in the skill's required binaries — this is an installation/execution risk if the user follows that example.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials, which is appropriate for public police data. No hidden env/credential access is apparent in SKILL.md.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always: true, does not request persistent privileges, and is user-invocable only. It does not attempt to modify other skills or system settings in the provided instructions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-ukpolice - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-ukpolice - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
