Description
Search podcasts, browse episodes, and fetch podcast transcripts from Podfetcher using the bundled Node.js CLI, SDK, or MCP server.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: it uses Node, accepts a Podfetcher API key, and talks to the Podfetcher API (default https://api.podfetcher.com). Before installing: 1) Be aware you must provide a Podfetcher API key—treat that key like a secret. 2) The registry metadata lists two extra env vars (PODFETCHER_BASE_URL, PODFETCHER_API_KEY_HEADER) as required, but the code treats them as optional overrides; verify which env vars your environment needs. 3) The MCP server enables an agent to call the API using whatever API key you supply—only provide a key with the minimum necessary permissions and avoid using highly privileged keys in untrusted agents. 4) If you need stronger assurance, inspect the included source (src/*.js) yourself or run the CLI in an isolated environment; there are no obvious hidden endpoints, network calls beyond the Podfetcher API, or escalations in the code.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: podfetcher-tools Version: 0.5.1 The podfetcher-tools bundle is a well-structured Node.js client for the Podfetcher API, providing CLI, SDK, and MCP interfaces. The code uses native Node.js modules (node:util, node:crypto) and avoids external dependencies, significantly reducing the supply chain attack surface. Security best practices are followed, such as using encodeURIComponent for path parameters and the native URL class for safe endpoint construction in src/sdk.js. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (search shows, list episodes, fetch transcripts) matches the included CLI, SDK, and MCP server code. Required binary 'node' and an API key are appropriate for this functionality.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only about using the CLI/SDK/MCP with Podfetcher; runtime instructions and code only read Podfetcher-related env vars or command-line flags and communicate with the Podfetcher API. No instructions request unrelated files, system credentials, or external endpoints beyond the Podfetcher API.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only install), and the package includes source files but does not attempt to download or install arbitrary binaries. This is low-risk for installation mechanism.
Credentials
Primary credential PODFETCHER_API_KEY is appropriate. The registry metadata lists PODFETCHER_BASE_URL and PODFETCHER_API_KEY_HEADER as required env vars, but the SKILL.md and code treat those as optional overrides (with sensible defaults). This metadata-versus-code mismatch is minor but should be clarified.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal model invocation are set. The skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills. The MCP server will expose tools over stdio as expected for an MCP plugin.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install podfetcher-tools
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /podfetcher-tools
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
