Description
Nobel Prize laureates and awards — search by name or category and browse prizes by year since 1901
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it issues read-only queries to a Pipeworx Nobel gateway and needs only curl. Before installing or running the suggested npx command, check the mcp-remote npm package and the gateway domain (pipeworx.io) to ensure you trust them, and avoid sending any sensitive or private data through the gateway. If you prefer not to run remote npm packages, use the provided curl examples directly instead of the npx setup.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-nobel
Version: 1.0.0
The pipeworx-nobel skill is a standard wrapper for accessing Nobel Prize data via a remote MCP server. It utilizes the 'mcp-remote' utility to connect to 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nobel/mcp' and provides tools for searching laureates and prizes. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or prompt-injection attempts were identified in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Nobel Prize lookup) align with the declared requirements: only curl is required and the SKILL.md shows simple JSON-RPC calls to an external Nobel gateway. No unrelated binaries or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only show POSTing JSON to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nobel/mcp (via curl) and providing JSON examples. They do not request local files, environment secrets, or unrelated system access. The SKILL.md also includes a 'setup' snippet that runs npx mcp-remote — see install_mechanism for risk note.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec (instruction-only), which is low risk. However the SKILL.md suggests using `npx -y mcp-remote@latest ...` to register an MCP server; invoking npx will download and execute code from the npm registry at runtime. That is common for CLI helpers but increases exposure — verify the mcp-remote package and trustworthiness of the pipeworx gateway before running.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill's functionality (public Nobel data lookups) doesn't justify requesting secrets — none are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no forced persistence. The setup example shows adding an mcpServers entry to agent config (modifying the agent's config to point at the gateway), which is expected for a remote tool but is a persistent change you should be aware of.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-nobel - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-nobel - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
