Description
Inspirational quotes — random, daily quote of the day, or batch 50 at once from ZenQuotes
Usage Guidance
This skill could be benign (a simple quotes proxy) but the README asks you to contact a remote Pipeworx gateway and to bootstrap remote code with npx. Before installing or running it, consider: 1) Verify who operates https://gateway.pipeworx.io and whether you trust that operator to see any data the agent sends; 2) Avoid running npx mcp-remote@latest on a privileged host — inspect the package source first or run it in a sandbox; 3) If you prefer a simpler setup, ask the author why the gateway is needed instead of calling the public ZenQuotes API directly; and 4) If you will route any sensitive context through the agent while this skill is enabled, do not enable it until you confirm the data-handling policy of the remote service.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-zenquotes
Version: 1.0.0
The pipeworx-zenquotes skill is a standard implementation for fetching inspirational quotes from a remote API. It uses the mcp-remote utility to interface with a gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description promise quotes from ZenQuotes, which is plausible. However, the SKILL.md points all traffic at gateway.pipeworx.io rather than directly to a ZenQuotes API; this is a minor mismatch that could be legitimate (a proxy/service) but is not explained in the README.
Instruction Scope
The examples instruct POSTing to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/zenquotes/mcp and the Setup block instructs adding an mcpServers entry that launches npx mcp-remote@latest pointed at that gateway. That directs the agent to connect to and execute commands against a remote MCP endpoint and to bootstrap remote code via npx — behavior beyond merely fetching quotes and which can transmit arbitrary request/response data to the external gateway.
Install Mechanism
The package has no formal install spec, but the SKILL.md tells users to run npx mcp-remote@latest, which will download and execute code from npm at runtime. Using npx to pull the latest remote package is a moderate-to-high risk action because it runs remote code that isn't vetted by this skill bundle.
Credentials
No environment variables, secrets, or config paths are requested by the skill metadata. The lack of requested credentials is proportionate to a read-only quotes service.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no indications the skill demands persistent system-wide privileges or to modify other skills. The skill will be invoked normally and does not claim to auto-enable itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-zenquotes - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-zenquotes - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
