Description
Use Sell The News for real-time market news, WallStreetBets analysis, stock news, options data, news search, and Trump Truth Social market-impact posts. Trig...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and appears to only fetch read-only news/analysis from https://mcp.sellthenews.org/mcp (or an endpoint you set via SELL_THE_NEWS_MCP_ENDPOINT). Before installing, confirm you trust that endpoint and are comfortable allowing outbound HTTP calls. Ensure curl and python3 are available in the runtime environment (the scripts depend on them). Do not pass secrets or sensitive local data as tool arguments—the wrappers will send whatever JSON you provide to the remote MCP endpoint. If you worry about a malicious or misconfigured server, avoid setting SELL_THE_NEWS_MCP_ENDPOINT to untrusted hosts or run the skill in an environment with restricted network egress.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: sell-the-news
Version: 1.0.1
The skill is a legitimate interface for the Sell The News financial data service, providing tools for fetching market news, WallStreetBets analysis, and social media sentiment. It uses shell scripts (e.g., scripts/stn_mcp_call.sh) to facilitate JSON-RPC communication with the official endpoint at https://mcp.sellthenews.org/mcp. The implementation is transparent, lacks obfuscation, and contains no evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description align with the code: the scripts call a Sell The News MCP endpoint to fetch news/analysis. Minor mismatch: the skill requires curl and python3 at runtime (used in scripts) but the registry metadata declared no required binaries.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the bundled wrappers limit activity to initializing an MCP session and calling read-only tools on the remote endpoint. Instructions do not instruct reading arbitrary local files or exfiltrating unrelated data. The wrappers parse SSE-style responses and print JSON.
Install Mechanism
No install step (instruction-only with shipped scripts) — nothing is downloaded or extracted at install time. The included shell and Python code is small and readable with no obfuscation or hidden endpoints beyond the documented endpoint.
Credentials
No required credentials are requested (Auth: none). The code does accept an optional environment override SELL_THE_NEWS_MCP_ENDPOINT to change the endpoint, but that env var was not documented in the registry metadata; ensure this is intentional. Also note that runtime requires curl and python3 even though they weren't declared as required binaries.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide changes or modify other skills. It only performs outbound HTTP calls when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install sell-the-news - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/sell-the-news - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
