Description
Neural web search and code context via Exa AI API. Requires EXA_API_KEY. Use for finding documentation, code examples, research papers, or company info.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable sending searches, URLs, and requested page content to Exa. Keep EXA_API_KEY private, avoid submitting internal or confidential URLs, and make sure jq and curl come from trusted local installations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: exa
Version: 0.0.2
The skill bundle is benign. All scripts (`code.sh`, `content.sh`, `search.sh`) legitimately use the `EXA_API_KEY` environment variable to authenticate and make `curl` POST requests to the official Exa AI API endpoints (`https://api.exa.ai/search`, `https://api.exa.ai/contents`). The `SKILL.md` provides clear, non-malicious instructions for setup and usage, without any prompt injection attempts. There is no evidence of unauthorized data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is Exa neural web search, code context, and URL content extraction, and the scripts only call Exa search/content endpoints for those functions.
Instruction Scope
Usage is user-directed through explicit shell commands, but the docs could more clearly warn that submitted queries and URLs are sent to Exa.
Install Mechanism
No installer, package download, or automatic setup behavior is present; the scripts depend on local jq and curl, which are not explicitly listed as requirements.
Credentials
EXA_API_KEY is required and used only as an Exa API authentication header, which is proportionate for this integration; user-submitted queries and URLs are external provider data flows.
Persistence & Privilege
No background workers, startup hooks, local file indexing, credential store reads, privilege escalation, or destructive actions were found.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
