Description
MiniMax 网络搜索和图片理解工具。当用户需要搜索信息或理解图片内容时使用此技能。支持通过 MiniMax Token Plan MCP 进行网络搜索和图片分析。
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement the advertised search and image-analysis features, but several inconsistencies and risks deserve attention: - The code requires MINIMAX_API_KEY (env or ~/.openclaw/credentials/minimax_mcp.env) but the registry metadata did not declare this; confirm you have and are willing to provide that credential before enabling the skill. - The SKILL.md tells you to install 'mcporter' (npm) but the scripts call 'mcporter-safe' — ask the author to clarify which binary/package is required and where to obtain it. Do not install unknown global npm packages without verifying their origin. - The scripts pass the full process environment into the external mcporter-safe subprocess. That can leak unrelated environment secrets to the external tool; avoid running the skill in environments containing other sensitive tokens unless you audit mcporter/mcporter-safe. - The skill accepts local file paths and will allow the MCP service to process images from your filesystem. Do not analyze local files you consider sensitive unless you trust the remote service and have reviewed the tool's behavior. - Recommendations before installing: (1) request the author update registry metadata to declare MINIMAX_API_KEY and required binaries; (2) verify the official source and integrity of mcporter/mcporter-safe; (3) run the skill in a sandbox or non-sensitive environment first; (4) inspect and set tight permissions on the credentials file (~/.openclaw/credentials/minimax_mcp.env, mode 600); (5) ask for clarification about the mcporter vs mcporter-safe mismatch and whether the subprocess must receive the entire environment. Given these mismatches and the environment-leakage pattern, treat the skill as suspicious until the author corrects metadata and clarifies tooling and env-handling.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: minimax-search-vision Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides legitimate tools for web searching and image analysis using the MiniMax API via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The implementation follows security best practices, such as masking API keys in logs (scripts/config.py), using safe subprocess execution with argument lists to prevent shell injection (scripts/web_search.py, scripts/understand_image.py), and reading credentials from a dedicated configuration path (~/.openclaw/credentials/). No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill advertises MiniMax web search and image understanding, which matches the code. However the registry metadata declares no required environment variables or binaries while the SKILL.md and code clearly require a MINIMAX_API_KEY (env or ~/.openclaw/credentials/minimax_mcp.env) and an external tool (mcporter / mcporter-safe). The metadata omission is an incoherence — a consumer would reasonably expect the primary credential and required binary to be declared.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts instruct reading an API key from environment or a credentials file and calling an external MCP runtime via subprocess. The code accepts local file paths for images (and checks file size), reads ~/.openclaw/credentials/minimax_mcp.env, and sets cwd to ~/.mcporter before invoking mcporter-safe. The instructions implicitly allow uploading/processing local files through an external service and do not limit what the external tool may transmit. Also the SKILL.md describes using 'mcporter' while the scripts call 'mcporter-safe' — a tooling-name mismatch that affects runtime behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in registry, but SKILL.md instructs installing mcporter via npm (npm install -g mcporter). The package to run (mcporter-safe) is an external binary/tool the skill relies on; the skill does not download arbitrary code itself. Risk depends on trustworthiness of mcporter/mcporter-safe — users should verify the source and package integrity before installing globally.
Credentials
The code requires MINIMAX_API_KEY (and optionally MINIMAX_API_HOST) though the registry declared none. Worse, when launching the external tool the code builds env = { **subprocess.os.environ, 'MINIMAX_API_KEY': api_key, ... }, copying the entire process environment into the child process: this can expose unrelated environment variables (other service tokens, keys) to the external binary. The skill also accepts local file paths for images which may cause local files to be sent to the external MCP service — this is consistent with the feature but is sensitive and should be explicit in metadata and user guidance.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and does not modify other skills or agent-wide settings. It does not persist itself beyond normal file presence; no elevated platform privileges are requested.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
