Usage Guidance
This appears to be a legitimate CLI skill. Before installing: (1) confirm the npm package @vanio-ai/cli on the npm registry is the official publisher and matches vanio.ai; (2) be aware the CLI will store your VANIO_API_KEY in plaintext at ~/.config/vanio/config.json (consider using a scoped API key with limited permissions); (3) the CLI opens your browser and runs a temporary localhost server during login — this is normal for OAuth but ensure you run that flow only when you trust the site; (4) if you have security policies about CLI installs, review the package contents or vendor documentation first. If any of these raise concerns (unknown publisher, untrusted registry package), do not install.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vanio
Version: 0.1.0
The Vanio AI skill provides a CLI tool for managing vacation rental properties via the Vanio AI platform. The code (src/index.ts and dist/index.cjs) implements a standard authentication flow using a local HTTP callback server and communicates with a legitimate API endpoint (api.vanio.ai). There are no indicators of data exfiltration, unauthorized access to sensitive local files, or malicious prompt injection in the instructions (SKILL.md). The use of child_process.exec to open a browser for login is a standard practice for CLI tools and is used here in a non-malicious context.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binary 'vanio', primary env var VANIO_API_KEY, and the npm package @vanio-ai/cli align: the skill is a CLI that connects to Vanio's API for property management.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs use of the vanio CLI (login, ask, chat, config). Runtime instructions reference only ~/.config/vanio/config.json, VANIO_API_KEY, and optionally VANIO_API_URL, and perform expected actions (open browser, run local callback server, call api.vanio.ai). There are no instructions to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate arbitrary data.
Install Mechanism
Install uses npm package @vanio-ai/cli (creates 'vanio' binary). npm installs are a common, expected mechanism for CLIs; this is moderate-risk compared to no-install, but appropriate for a Node CLI. Recommend verifying the package on the npm registry (publisher, version, integrity) before installing.
Credentials
Only VANIO_API_KEY is required (primary credential) and optional VANIO_API_URL; this is proportional to a service-API CLI. The CLI stores the API key plaintext in ~/.config/vanio/config.json—standard for many CLIs but worth noting because the key is persisted unencrypted.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide privileges. It writes only to its own config path (~/.config/vanio/config.json) and does not modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vanio - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vanio - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
