Description

Usage Guidance

Review this skill before installing. Use it in a dedicated virtual environment, pin and verify dependency versions, avoid entering secrets or internal queries, and treat search results as untrusted. Be especially cautious about granting an agent broad Python, pip, or uv command access when a narrower search wrapper would be enough.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: duckduckgo-search Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a DuckDuckGo search tool using the `duckduckgo-search` Python library. All code examples in `SKILL.md` demonstrate standard usage of this library, including local file writing for search results and proxy configuration, which are legitimate functionalities. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. The `allowed-tools` are broad but necessary for a Python-based skill.

Capability Assessment

⚠ Credentials

Network access to DuckDuckGo is expected for the purpose, but broad Bash python, pip, and uv permissions give the agent a general code-execution and environment-mutation surface instead of a narrow search wrapper.

⚠ Install Mechanism

The install instructions fetch duckduckgo-search without version pins, hashes, or a lock file, and the troubleshooting section suggests upgrading pip, creating mutable supply-chain and environment-change risk.

ℹ Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are direct search examples and do not show prompt hijacking, deception, destructive actions, or credential harvesting. The skill does not clearly warn users that search queries and proxy-routed requests leave the local environment.

ℹ Persistence & Privilege

No hidden service, scheduled task, memory write, credential store access, or backdoor behavior was found. Persistence is limited to disclosed package installation and an optional example that saves search results to a local JSON file.

⚠ Purpose & Capability

The stated purpose is web search and the examples are mostly search-related, but the declared tools allow arbitrary Python execution plus pip and uv package installation, which is broader than a tightly scoped search capability.
