Description
Fetch real-time AI news briefings from the AI News Oracle API (Hacker News, TechCrunch, The Verge). Uses a10m.work registry for discovery and Paymaster for gasless transactions.
Usage Guidance
Before installing, confirm you trust the linked GitHub repository and the API provider. Use the free tier for basic briefings, and only configure wallet or payment headers when you intentionally want premium access and can verify any USDC transaction.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ai-news-oracle
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as benign. The `SKILL.md` clearly describes a tool `ai_news_briefing` whose sole purpose is to fetch AI news briefings from a specified external API (`https://api.ai-news.swimmingkiim.com`). There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts against the agent, no instructions for unauthorized data exfiltration, malicious execution, or persistence mechanisms. All described actions are transparent and align with the stated goal of providing AI news updates.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose matches the artifact: fetch latest AI news briefings from a named external API and return summarized source links.
Instruction Scope
The tool is described as no-parameter and easy to invoke; the artifact does not add explicit consent language, but it also does not instruct unrelated actions, file access, command execution, or user-intent overrides.
Install Mechanism
Installation is a user-directed OpenClaw CLI command pointing to the publisher's GitHub repository; there is no automatic install or bundled executable code in the reviewed artifact.
Credentials
Use of a third-party news API, IP-limited free tier, and optional wallet/payment header is disclosed and proportionate to the news-briefing purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background workers, privilege escalation, local credential access, or automatic transactions are shown in the artifact.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ai-news-oracle - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
