/install imsg
Description
iMessage/SMS CLI for listing chats, history, watch, and sending.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable giving your terminal access to local Messages data and permission to control Messages.app. Review macOS permission prompts carefully, and confirm the recipient and message content before using any send command.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: imsg
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to the high-risk permissions required for the `imsg` tool to function, specifically `Full Disk Access` and `Automation permission to control Messages.app`, as detailed in `SKILL.md`. While these permissions are plausibly necessary for the stated purpose of reading and sending iMessages/SMS, they grant broad access to sensitive user data and system control, making the skill inherently high-risk. There is no clear evidence of intentional malicious behavior or prompt injection against the agent within the provided files, but the capabilities enabled are significant.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill explicitly supports listing chats, reading history, watching a chat, and sending iMessage/SMS, so access to private Messages data and message-sending capability are sensitive but purpose-aligned.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are short, direct usage guidance and include a note to confirm recipient and message before sending; no hidden prompt manipulation, unrelated behavior, or automatic actions were found.
Install Mechanism
Installation is disclosed as a Homebrew formula from steipete/tap/imsg and requires the imsg binary; the reviewed skill bundle itself contains only SKILL.md and no executable scripts.
Credentials
Full Disk Access for the terminal and Automation permission for Messages.app are broad macOS permissions, but they are disclosed and proportionate to local message history access and sending through Messages.app.
Persistence & Privilege
No artifact evidence showed startup persistence, privilege escalation, credential capture, destructive actions, or exfiltration; the watch command is presented as a user-run command.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install imsg - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/imsg - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
