Description
Query flight information, train tickets, and travel data using Variflight (飞常准) HTTP API. Use when the user needs to (1) search flights by route or flight number, (2) check flight status and punctuality, (3) find train tickets, (4) get airport weather forecasts, (5) check flight prices, (6) plan multi-modal trips (flight+train), or (7) get flight comfort metrics (happiness index).
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intend to use Variflight and are comfortable sending travel queries to its API. Prefer a protected environment variable or secret manager for VARIFLIGHT_API_KEY, avoid passing the key on the command line, do not commit config files containing the key, set restrictive permissions on local key files, and do not bake live keys into Docker images or shared settings.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: variflight Version: 1.0.1 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle is benign. All shell scripts act as wrappers, safely passing arguments to the `variflight.py` Python script. The Python script correctly parses arguments, loads API keys from expected locations, and then securely serializes all user-provided parameters into a JSON body before making an HTTP POST request to a hardcoded, legitimate Variflight API endpoint (`https://ai.variflight.com/api/v1/mcp/data`) using `urllib.request`. There is no evidence of prompt injection in `SKILL.md` or `README.md`, no data exfiltration, no malicious execution (e.g., `eval`, `os.system`, `curl|bash`), and no attempts at persistence or obfuscation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is flight, train, weather, price, and itinerary lookup through Variflight, and the scripts implement that by sending selected query parameters to a hardcoded Variflight HTTPS endpoint.
Instruction Scope
The instructions disclose the endpoint and API key use, but examples also show command-line keys and plaintext config files without strong warnings about shell history, process listings, file permissions, commits, or shared environments.
Install Mechanism
Installation is documented as cloning or copying scripts; inspected files show shell wrappers and one Python script, with no install-time execution, dependency installer, obfuscation, or persistence setup.
Credentials
Network access to ai.variflight.com and use of travel query data are proportionate for the skill, but users should understand that itinerary-like details and the API credential are sent to that external service.
Persistence & Privilege
The runtime reads API keys from environment variables or local config files, including home-directory and OpenClaw workspace locations; it does not write files, escalate privileges, or create background persistence.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install variflight
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /variflight
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
