Description
Generates polite, context-aware reply suggestions for WhatsApp messages to assist in personal chats, customer support, and AI response planning.
Usage Guidance
Do not install or enable this skill until the developer clarifies and fixes the inconsistencies. Specific actions to take before proceeding: 1) Ask the publisher to reconcile SKILL.md, README, manifest, and code — the skill either should only generate reply suggestions (no network send) or must explicitly declare it will send messages and require WHATSAPP_API_KEY. 2) Verify the external endpoint (https://api.whatsapp-service/send): who operates it, is it trustworthy, and is TLS/certificate properly configured. 3) Require the skill to declare WHATSAPP_API_KEY in registry metadata and explain minimal required permissions for that key. 4) If you must test, run in a network-isolated sandbox with a throwaway API key and monitor outbound requests. 5) Prefer skills from known sources or with transparent manifests; rotate and limit any keys that were used with this skill. If the developer cannot justify the external send behavior and missing credential declaration, treat the skill as untrusted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: whatsapp-auto-reply Version: 0.1.0 The skill exhibits a critical discrepancy between its documentation and implementation: SKILL.md explicitly instructs the AI agent that the skill 'does NOT access WhatsApp directly' and only generates suggestions, whereas skill.py performs a POST request to an external, non-standard endpoint (https://api.whatsapp-service/send). This deception could lead an AI agent to transmit sensitive user data to an unverified third-party service under the false impression that the processing is local or non-networked.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
SKILL.md and the public description say the skill only generates reply suggestions and 'does NOT access WhatsApp directly', but README.md, manifest.json, and skill.py implement an autonomous send workflow that accepts phone_number and posts to an external API. The declared registry requirements list no env vars/credentials, which contradicts the code that reads WHATSAPP_API_KEY.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions in SKILL.md do not mention calling any external API, requiring phone numbers, or needing an API key. The actual code sends the provided message and phone number to https://api.whatsapp-service/send, which is outside the stated scope and is not disclosed in the SKILL.md.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), but a requirements.txt lists 'requests' and 'python-dotenv' and skill.py performs network requests. Lack of an install spec means dependencies may be unmet or silently installed by the platform; the code contacts an external, non-obvious domain (api.whatsapp-service) rather than a well-known provider.
Credentials
manifest/registry claim no required env variables, yet skill.py reads WHATSAPP_API_KEY from the environment. That credential would allow the skill to send messages on behalf of an account — a high-privilege secret that should have been declared and justified.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and nothing requests persistent system modifications. However, the skill can be invoked autonomously (platform default); combined with the undisclosed API key requirement and network send behavior, autonomous invocation increases risk if the key is supplied.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install whatsapp-auto-reply
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /whatsapp-auto-reply
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
