Description
Search and retrieve public health datasets and records from the CDC via Socrata API using dataset keywords or IDs.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a thin wrapper for CDC/Socrata datasets and requires no credentials, but the runtime example points to a third‑party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io). Before installing, ask the publisher: (1) confirm whether queries/responses are proxied through that gateway and what logging/retention policies apply; (2) provide a complete SKILL.md describing exact API calls and data flows; (3) provide source or homepage so you can verify who operates the gateway. If you need to avoid routing data through external proxies, prefer a skill that calls data.cdc.gov/Socrata directly or one with verifiable source code.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-cdc
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a configuration for an MCP server to access CDC public health datasets via the Socrata API. The SKILL.md file defines standard data retrieval functions (search_datasets, get_dataset) and points to a remote gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io). No malicious code, suspicious instructions, or data exfiltration patterns were identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the observable artifacts: this is an instruction-only skill for querying CDC/Socrata datasets. However, the included example configuration routes requests through a pipeworx gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) instead of directly to the Socrata/data.cdc.gov API; that proxying is reasonable for a 'Pipeworx' skill but is not documented in the description, creating a transparency gap.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is very short and partially truncated (e.g., 'update d'), so runtime behavior is underspecified. The only concrete artifact is a JSON showing an external MCP server URL; that implies the agent will send queries to that external endpoint. Instructions do not explain what data is sent to the gateway, whether queries or results are logged, or whether direct calls to data.cdc.gov are ever used.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files — the skill is instruction-only and does not write executables to disk. This minimizes installation risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to a read-only public-data query skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and uses normal autonomous invocation defaults. It does not request elevated persistent privileges or modify other skills' configurations (no evidence of such behavior in SKILL.md).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-cdc - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-cdc - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
