Description
Fetch MarsBit news and flash data through the hosted MCP route in marsbit-co. Use this for latest news, channel lookup, keyword search, detail, related news,...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uses curl to POST queries to MarsBit's hosted MCP at https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp and returns news data. Before installing, decide whether you trust marsbit.co to receive the content of your queries (the skill will send whatever you ask to that server). Confirm curl is acceptable to install on your system. If you prefer, install from the referenced GitHub repo and inspect the files locally; watch for the minor package.json mismatch (it requests a 'read' tool that the SKILL.md does not use). Avoid sending sensitive data through this skill if you do not trust the remote service.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: marsbit-news-skill
Version: 1.0.7
The skill is designed to fetch news and flash data from `marsbit.co` using `curl` to interact with a specific MCP API endpoint, which aligns with its stated purpose. While `package.json` declares `exec` and `read` capabilities, the `SKILL.md` instructions for the AI agent's runtime behavior only leverage `exec` for benign `curl` commands targeting `https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp`. There are no instructions for the agent to use the `read` tool, exfiltrate data, establish persistence, or perform any other actions indicative of malicious intent or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim fetching MarsBit news via an MCP endpoint, and the runtime instructions only require curl to POST to https://www.marsbit.co/api/mcp — this matches the stated purpose. The declared brew install of curl is proportionate.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to POST JSON to the MarsBit MCP endpoint and parse returned JSON. It does not ask the agent to read local files or environment variables. Note: user queries and any context the agent includes will be transmitted to the third-party endpoint (marsbit.co), so sensitive content may be sent off-host.
Install Mechanism
Install spec is a brew formula for curl (well-known package). The README also documents a GitHub clone installation path (GitHub is a common source). No downloads from unknown/personal servers or archives are required by the primary install path.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials, which is appropriate. One minor inconsistency: package.json declares OpenClaw tools dependency ["exec", "read"] — exec is expected because the agent will run curl, but read is not used in SKILL.md and therefore appears unnecessary.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable. It does not attempt to modify system-wide or other-skill configuration in the provided instructions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install marsbit-news-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/marsbit-news-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
