Description
Monitor Minecraft servers by checking online status, player counts, latency, and version info using the Server List Ping protocol. Use when the user asks to check Minecraft server status, monitor a Minecraft server, verify if a server is online, get player counts, or mentions Minecraft server monitoring. Example servers include corejourney.org.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: it opens a TCP connection to the target Minecraft server and parses the status response. Before installing/using it, consider: (1) the script will make outbound network connections to whichever host you provide — only query servers you have permission to probe; (2) the code runs locally as a Python script from the skill workspace, so if you are uncomfortable run it in a sandbox or review the script (it's short and straightforward); (3) the skill does not require secrets or external downloads. If you plan to run it periodically, ensure your monitoring policy permits network probes and cron jobs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: minecraft-monitor-skill Version: 0.1.0 The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` clearly outlines the purpose of monitoring Minecraft servers and provides straightforward usage instructions without any prompt injection attempts. The `minecraft-status.py` script correctly implements the Minecraft Server List Ping protocol using standard Python libraries, connecting only to the user-specified host and port. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. Input parameters are handled appropriately for network communication, posing no apparent RCE or shell injection risks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Minecraft server monitoring) match the included Python script and usage examples. All required behavior (online check, ping, players, MOTD, version) is implemented by the script; there are no unrelated dependencies or permissions requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md simply instructs the agent/user to run the bundled script from the skill workspace path with host[:port] and optional timeout. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or send data to third-party endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads. The skill is instruction-only with a provided script — nothing is fetched or written to disk beyond the skill bundle itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The script makes outbound TCP connections only to the target server(s) provided by the user, which is proportional to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) and appropriate for a user-invocable monitoring skill. The skill does not attempt to modify other skills or persistent system-wide settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install minecraft-monitor-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /minecraft-monitor-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
