Description
US FDA open data — adverse drug event reports, drug labeling/package inserts, and food recall enforcement actions
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a simple proxy to Pipeworx's FDA gateway and needs only curl to run the example queries. Before installing or running it: 1) Verify you trust https://gateway.pipeworx.io and the pipeworx.io publisher — your queries (and any data you include) will be sent there. 2) Do not send PHI, passwords, or other secrets in queries. 3) If you plan to use the MCP config, understand that 'npx mcp-remote@latest' downloads and runs code from npm; only run it if you trust that package. 4) Note the minor inconsistency: SKILL.md suggests npx but the skill only declares curl; ensure the runtime has any tools you intend to use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-fda
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides access to US FDA public databases via a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway. It uses standard tools and documentation to facilitate searches for drug events, labels, and food recalls, with no evidence of malicious code, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (FDA open data) matches the actual behavior: the skill instructs the agent to query a Pipeworx gateway that returns FAERS, labeling, and recall data. However, the SKILL.md's MCP config references running 'npx mcp-remote', yet the declared required binaries only list 'curl' — a minor inconsistency in declared requirements versus recommended usage.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to querying an external API (gateway.pipeworx.io) and include example curl calls. They do not request local file reads or extra environment variables. Be aware that queries (including any user-supplied text) will be sent to a third party; avoid sending sensitive or private data.
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only (no install spec), which is low-risk. However, the provided MCP config recommends using 'npx mcp-remote@latest' to register a remote tool; running that command will download and execute third‑party npm code. The skill itself does not force that install, but the instructions encourage running remote code — a potential risk if you don't trust the publisher.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested by the skill, which is proportional for accessing public FDA data. There is nothing requesting unrelated secrets or system credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent inclusion (always:false). The MCP config suggests adding a remote MCP server entry to agent config; if you follow that, the remote server could be invoked by the agent — consider whether you trust the remote operator before adding it to your agent configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-fda - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-fda - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
