Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements a straightforward API client. Before installing: (1) Confirm you trust https://openmandate.ai and only provide an API key with the minimum necessary permissions; (2) Treat OPENMANDATE_API_KEY as a secret — do not paste it in public logs; (3) If you override OPENMANDATE_BASE_URL, verify the URL is legitimate (to avoid sending credentials to a malicious endpoint); (4) Review the included Python script if you want to validate behavior locally (it is stdlib-only and easy to inspect); (5) Remember agents can act autonomously by default — if you want to restrict actions, disable autonomous invocation or restrict the key's permissions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openmandate
Version: 0.6.0
The 'openmandate' skill is a legitimate integration for a cofounder/team matching service. The bundle contains a clean, standard-library-only Python CLI (scripts/openmandate.py) and comprehensive documentation that aligns with the stated purpose. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (posting mandates, matching) match the included docs and CLI helper; required binaries (python3) and env vars (API key, base URL) are appropriate and expected.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the CLI script only instruct the agent to call the OpenMandate API, manage contacts/mandates, and submit answers; there are no instructions to read arbitrary files, access unrelated credentials, or transmit data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only) plus a small stdlib Python helper included. No downloads, third-party package installs, or extract-from-URL steps are present.
Credentials
Only the API key and an optional base URL are required. These are proportional to an API client. The primary credential is the API key as documented.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled, does not request elevated system presence, and does not modify other skills or system-wide configurations. Autonomous invocation is allowed but is the platform default.

- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
