Description
Access real-time stock prices, historical data, company fundamentals, financial statements, and earnings for any stock symbol using Alpha Vantage.
Usage Guidance
This skill shows a clear mismatch: it claims Alpha Vantage integration but sends requests to a third-party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) and declares no API key or privacy/accountability details. Before installing, ask the publisher: who operates gateway.pipeworx.io, where are Alpha Vantage credentials stored, what data is forwarded to that gateway, and is traffic logged or retained? Prefer skills that call the official alphavantage.co API with a declared API key so you control credentials. If you must use this skill, test it with non-sensitive queries, monitor outbound requests, and avoid sending private account information. If the publisher cannot explain the gateway's role or provide source code, treat the skill as untrusted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-alphavantage
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a standard interface for accessing Alpha Vantage stock market data through an MCP server configuration. The SKILL.md file defines functions for retrieving financial metrics and connects to a gateway at gateway.pipeworx.io, which is consistent with its stated purpose and lacks any indicators of malicious intent or high-risk behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description promise direct Alpha Vantage access, but the SKILL.md's only runtime artifact is an mcpServers entry pointing to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/alphavantage/mcp. No Alpha Vantage API key or official alphavantage endpoint is mentioned — it's unclear whether the gateway proxies official API calls, uses its own credentials, or performs other processing. That mismatch is not justified by the skill's metadata.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is minimal and does not specify what data the agent must send to the gateway, how requests are authenticated, or whether any local context or secrets will be included. It grants broad, unspecified runtime behavior (use MCP server) without describing what will be transmitted, creating a risk of unintended data disclosure.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing will be written to disk by an installer. This lowers direct supply-chain risk.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are declared, yet Alpha Vantage normally requires an API key. The absence of declared credentials suggests the gateway may hold or require credentials server-side (not transparent) or that the skill will make unauthenticated requests — both are plausible but unexplained. Also, the skill will depend on network access to a third-party domain (gateway.pipeworx.io) which is unrelated to alphavantage.co.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-on and is user-invocable. It does not request elevated platform privileges in the manifest and does not declare modifications to other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
