Description
Get current weather conditions from a WeatherFlow Tempest station using the Tempest REST API. Use when the user asks for "tempest weather" (preferred trigger...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a small Python script that calls WeatherFlow/Tempest REST endpoints and formats results. Before installing, confirm you are comfortable providing a Tempest API token and one of station or device IDs to the skill (the token is the only sensitive secret required). Note the registry metadata over-declares required env vars (it lists both station and device IDs and units as required even though the code accepts either station OR device and defaults units to 'us') — you only need to set the token and at least one of station/device. Review the included scripts (get_tempest_weather.py) yourself if you want additional assurance, and do not hardcode the token in files; keep it in environment variables. If you need stricter guarantees, run the included tests locally to verify behavior before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tempest-weather
Version: 1.1.0
The OpenClaw skill 'tempest-weather' is benign. The `get_tempest_weather.py` script correctly fetches weather data from the hardcoded WeatherFlow Tempest REST API (`https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest`) using `urllib.request`. It handles API tokens securely by expecting them from environment variables or CLI arguments and redacting them in output URLs. The `SKILL.md` and `README.md` provide clear, functional instructions for the AI agent and do not contain any prompt injection attempts or directives for malicious actions. The `package_clean.sh` script is a standard build script that uses `rsync` to clean the package and calls the OpenClaw framework's `package_skill.py`.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, README, SKILL.md, and the Python script all align: the skill queries WeatherFlow/Tempest REST endpoints using an API token and a station or device id. The only mismatch is registry metadata listing TEMPEST_STATION_ID and TEMPEST_DEVICE_ID as required even though the code accepts either one (device takes precedence) and SKILL.md documents them as optional alternatives. TEMPEST_UNITS is also declared required in metadata but the script treats it as optional (default 'us').
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running python3 scripts/get_tempest_weather.py and the script reads only the declared env vars and calls the documented Tempest endpoints. There is no instruction to read unrelated system files, other credentials, or to transmit data to any endpoints other than the WeatherFlow API. The script does read SKILL.md (to detect a version string) which is benign and scoped to the skill.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads are present; this is effectively an instruction/script bundle. All code is included in the skill archive and no network-based install or arbitrary URL extraction is used.
Credentials
Requested credential (TEMPEST_API_TOKEN) is appropriate and used as the primary credential. However, the registry's required env list includes TEMPEST_STATION_ID, TEMPEST_DEVICE_ID, and TEMPEST_UNITS even though the script treats station/device as optional alternatives and units as optional with a default. This is an overbroad metadata declaration but not evidence of exfiltration or unrelated credential access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always: true and has no special OS or config-path requirements. It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. Normal autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but nothing in the skill increases privilege.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tempest-weather - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tempest-weather - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
