/install weather-data
Description
Provides weather forecast data from NOAA. Free tier returns 3-day forecast, premium tier returns 7-day with hourly data.
Usage Guidance
Do not provide any secret tokens, private keys, or payment headers to this skill right now. The SKILL.md expects a local service at localhost:5000 but offers no instructions to install or run that service, and the premium 'X-Payment' header is unexplained. Before installing or using: (1) ask the publisher for the service implementation and how the payment header is obtained/validated; (2) verify the source or homepage and prefer skills that call NOAA's public APIs directly; (3) test calls to localhost in a safe sandbox — if curl to localhost:5000 fails, the skill is unusable as provided; (4) never paste secret tokens into a skill prompt unless you trust the maintainer and understand where the token goes.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: weather-data
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a 'weather-data' service that provides forecast information via a local HTTP endpoint (localhost:5000). The `SKILL.md` file describes the service, its endpoints, and usage examples using `curl` to interact with the local service. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the AI agent. All content aligns with the stated purpose of providing weather data.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The description says it provides NOAA data, but the SKILL.md instructs callers to curl http://localhost:5000 endpoints. There is no install or code to start such a service, no mention of calling NOAA APIs, and no homepage/source to verify. This mismatch means the skill cannot deliver the advertised capability as-is or relies on an out-of-band local service not described.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only show curl commands against localhost and require an 'X-Payment' header for premium access (0.05 USDC) without specifying how to obtain or validate that header. The skill does not declare any environment variables or steps to run a local server, so the instructions are incomplete and could prompt users to supply sensitive payment tokens or credentials out-of-band.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files (instruction-only), which is low-risk from an installation perspective. However, relying on a pre-existing local service is unusual and underdocumented.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, yet its premium flow expects an X-Payment header (effectively a secret/token) not declared anywhere. This gap can lead to ad-hoc requests for sensitive payment headers or tokens without a clear, justified mechanism.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true or any elevated persistence. It is user-invocable and does not claim any system-wide modifications.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
