Description
Template-driven RapidAPI client with auto-registered actions and a universal call entrypoint
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement a legitimate RapidAPI client and only needs your RAPIDAPI_KEY — that is expected. The main risk is that, by default, it allows calls to non-RapidAPI hosts and will include your RAPIDAPI_KEY header on those requests. Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Audit the templates in templates/*.json to ensure they only target trusted RapidAPI endpoints (or domains you intend to send the key to). 2) Set ALLOW_NON_RAPIDAPI_HOSTS=false (or set allowNonRapidApiHosts=false in config) to block non-RapidAPI hosts unless you explicitly need them. 3) Limit who can call callRapidApi (ad-hoc direct calls) in your environment, since that entrypoint can be used to send the key to arbitrary hosts. 4) Provide the RAPIDAPI_KEY with least privilege and be prepared to rotate it if you suspect it was exposed. If you need higher assurance, request changes so the default is restrictive (deny non-RapidAPI hosts) and document precisely which hosts are allowed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: rapidapi Version: 0.1.0 The skill functions as a universal RapidAPI client but contains risky credential-handling logic. Specifically, lib/engine.js is designed to attach the 'X-RapidAPI-Key' to requests, and while it includes a host-validation check, the 'allowNonRapidApiHosts' setting (which defaults to true in index.js and config.example.json) allows the sensitive API key to be sent to any arbitrary host provided in the input. While no clear evidence of intentional malice or hardcoded exfiltration endpoints was found, the capability to direct credentials to non-RapidAPI infrastructure via user-controlled or agent-controlled input poses a high risk of accidental or forced credential leakage.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and required credential (RAPIDAPI_KEY) match the code and templates. The skill's functions (listActions, callAction, callRapidApi) and template system are consistent with a RapidAPI client.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs use of the packaged index.js APIs and scripts and documents template formats. The runtime instructions do not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or secrets beyond the declared RAPIDAPI_KEY; the code only reads/writes within the skill's templates directory and uses stdin for the provided scripts.
Install Mechanism
There is no external install/download step; source files are bundled with the skill. No remote URLs or extract actions are used. Node.js 18+ is required (uses global fetch), which is reasonable.
Credentials
The skill only requires RAPIDAPI_KEY (primary credential), which is appropriate — but it defaults to allowNonRapidApiHosts=true (ALLOW_NON_RAPIDAPI_HOSTS environment/config default true). When host restriction is off, the engine will send the RAPIDAPI_KEY in the X-RapidAPI-Key header to any allowed host. That default increases risk of the key being sent to arbitrary domains (templates shipped include non-.rapidapi.com hosts), so the requested credential may be exposed to hosts outside RapidAPI unless the user sets host restrictions or audits templates.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent system privileges, does not set always:true, and does not modify other skills or global agent settings. It reads and writes files only under its templates directory (scripts/import-endpoint.js creates template files), which is expected for a template-driven client.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install rapidapi
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /rapidapi
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.1.0
- Initial release of rapidapi-universal-skill: a minimal, template-driven RapidAPI client. - Auto-registers all RapidAPI action templates from the templates directory. - Provides consistent actions: listActions(), callAction(name, params), and callRapidApi(payload). - Includes helper script (import-endpoint.js) to convert RapidAPI endpoints to templates. - Designed for stable, repeatable calls to RapidAPI endpoints in local scripts or workflows.
