Description
Send and read blockchain-native emails using NEAR Email service. Use when building notifications for NEAR smart contracts (NFT sales, DeFi liquidation alerts, DAO voting reminders) or when AI agents need email capabilities with a NEAR account identity.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (NEAR-native email via outlayer.near and api.outlayer.fastnear.com), but you should: 1) verify and trust the external service/domain (api.outlayer.fastnear.com and the outlayer.near contract) before giving it any payment keys or private keys; 2) never send private data with send_email_plaintext — content is public on-chain; 3) store and transmit PAYMENT_KEY and any private keys securely (do not paste them into untrusted UIs); 4) consider disabling autonomous model invocation (set disableModelInvocation or otherwise require explicit user approval) if you do not want the agent to send/read emails without interactive confirmation; and 5) if you need stronger assurance, ask the publisher for source code, a homepage, or an audit of the outlayer service before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: near-email-skill Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'near-email-skill' is designed to send and read blockchain-native emails. The code and documentation clearly outline its purpose, API interactions with `https://api.outlayer.fastnear.com` and the `outlayer.near` NEAR contract, and the use of a `PAYMENT_KEY` credential for the service. The skill explicitly warns users about the public nature of `send_email_plaintext` content on the blockchain. File system access is limited to reading specified files for email attachments, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the AI agent beyond legitimate instructions for skill usage. All identified behaviors are aligned with the stated purpose of providing email capabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (NEAR email for notifications and agent email capability) match the instructions and examples: they use outlayer.near contract and an HTTPS API at api.outlayer.fastnear.com. No unrelated env vars, binaries, or install artifacts are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within the stated purpose (send/read emails via NEAR transaction or HTTPS API). It includes examples that generate ephemeral keys, parse NEAR transaction receipts, and instruct client-side ECIES/ChaCha20 decryption — all expected for encrypted inbox flows. It also repeatedly recommends send_email_plaintext for on-chain notifications and explicitly warns that those messages are public on-chain.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec, no code files to execute). The only external host referenced is api.outlayer.fastnear.com, which is expected for a hosted service but should be verified by the user.
Credentials
The registry metadata lists no required env vars or credentials (consistent). Examples rely on a 'PAYMENT_KEY' passed in an X-Payment-Key header and on NEAR keys for signing — these are reasonable for the stated integration but are not declared as required env vars, so users must supply/store them securely. No unrelated credentials or system paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is not set, but disableModelInvocation is also not set, so the model could autonomously invoke this skill to send emails or read inboxes. Because sending emails (including public on-chain notifications) and handling keys are sensitive actions, the lack of an explicit model-invocation safeguard is a noteworthy risk and users should decide whether to allow autonomous use.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install near-email-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /near-email-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
