Install in OpenClaw
/install goplaces
Description
Query Google Places API (New) via the goplaces CLI for text search, place details, resolve, and reviews. Use for human-friendly place lookup or JSON output for scripts.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the Homebrew tap and the goplaces project. Use a restricted Google Places API key with quota or billing limits, avoid sharing the key in prompts or logs, and leave GOOGLE_PLACES_BASE_URL unset unless you intentionally use a trusted proxy or test endpoint.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: goplaces
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'goplaces' appears benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides standard documentation for installing and using the `goplaces` CLI tool, including its dependency on the `GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY`. There are no instructions for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection against the agent. The installation method uses Homebrew (`brew install steipete/tap/goplaces`), which is a standard package manager, and the usage examples are consistent with the stated purpose of querying the Google Places API.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, examples, required goplaces binary, and Google Places API key all align with place search, details, resolve, reviews, and JSON output.
Instruction Scope
The artifact gives user-directed command examples and does not instruct automatic execution, account mutation, prompt manipulation, or bypassing review.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses a disclosed Homebrew tap, which is normal for this kind of CLI integration but requires trusting the external package source.
Credentials
The required Google Places API key and optional base URL override are proportionate to the purpose, but users should understand that queries and location parameters go to Google or any configured proxy.
Persistence & Privilege
No files show persistence, elevated privileges, background workers, protected-path writes, self-modification, or credential harvesting.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install goplaces - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/goplaces - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
