Description
Simple currency exchange rates — all rates for a base currency or a direct pair lookup via open.er-api.com
Usage Guidance
This pack appears to provide simple exchange-rate lookups, but note two things before installing: (1) the example calls a Pipeworx gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io) rather than directly contacting open.er-api.com — queries will pass through that third-party proxy, which may log or alter requests/responses; review Pipeworx's privacy/security practices if that matters. (2) The MCP config expects 'npx mcp-remote', but the skill only declares curl as a required binary — if you plan to use the MCP config you'll need node/npm/npx available, which the skill didn't declare. If you prefer avoiding a proxy, consider calling open.er-api.com directly. If you proceed, avoid sending any sensitive data in calls and verify the gateway endpoint is trusted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-exchangerate
Version: 1.0.0
The pipeworx-exchangerate skill is a standard implementation for fetching currency exchange rates via a remote MCP server (gateway.pipeworx.io). The documentation in SKILL.md and metadata in _meta.json are consistent with the stated purpose, and there are no indicators of malicious execution, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim a lightweight exchange-rate lookup from open.er-api.com which matches the skill's scope. However, the runtime example and MCP config show requests going to gateway.pipeworx.io (a proxy/gateway) and an npx-based mcp-remote command, which is not mentioned in required binaries. It's plausible the pack proxies open.er-api.com via Pipeworx, but the mismatch between claimed data source and actual endpoint and the undeclared npx dependency is inconsistent.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md provides only curl examples that post JSON-RPC to gateway.pipeworx.io and an MCP config that runs 'npx mcp-remote'. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files or credentials. The main scope issue is that network calls are routed through a third-party gateway (Pipeworx) rather than directly to open.er-api.com, which changes data flow and privacy assumptions.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, which minimizes direct install risk. No archives or external downloads are instructed by the SKILL.md itself.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are requested (good). But the MCP config references 'npx' (and an npm package mcp-remote) while required binaries list only curl. If the agent were to follow the MCP config, it implicitly requires npx/node/npm — an undeclared credential/installation requirement and a proportionality gap.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no config paths or persistent hooks requested. The skill does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-exchangerate - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-exchangerate - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
