Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it expects the yutu CLI and Google OAuth credentials to call the YouTube API. Before installing, verify the npm package and GitHub repo (owner, recent releases, issues) to ensure you trust the publisher. Use a least-privilege OAuth client/project, avoid reusing high-privilege credentials, and keep client_secret.json and youtube.token.json in a safe location. If you are concerned about supply-chain risk, review the package source or run yutu in an isolated environment (container or VM) rather than your primary system.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: youtube-search-yutu
Version: 0.10.7-dev
The skill bundle is a legitimate wrapper for the 'yutu' CLI tool, designed to search YouTube resources. It follows standard OAuth2 procedures for YouTube API access, requiring credentials and tokens (client_secret.json, youtube.token.json) which are handled via environment variables or local files. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or suspicious execution patterns was found in SKILL.md or the associated documentation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binaries (yutu), required env vars (YUTU_CREDENTIAL, YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN), and required config files (client_secret.json, youtube.token.json) all match a CLI that uses Google OAuth to call the YouTube API.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and references instruct the agent to run yutu commands and to perform OAuth authorization (which opens a browser and writes a token file). The instructions do not request unrelated files, credentials, or external endpoints beyond YouTube/GCP.
Install Mechanism
Install is an npm package (@eat-pray-ai/yutu) producing the yutu binary. Installing a third-party npm binary is a normal delivery for a CLI but carries the usual supply-chain risk; the package origin (GitHub repo provided) should be checked before installing in sensitive environments.
Credentials
The skill requires only OAuth client credentials and a cached token (YUTU_CREDENTIAL, YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN) and documents these variables. These are proportional and expected for a YouTube API client.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, the skill does not request elevated system persistence or modify other skills' configuration. Runtime behaviour is limited to invoking the yutu CLI and reading/writing the documented credential/token files.
