Description
Check, report, and retrieve abuse confidence scores and details for IP addresses using the AbuseIPDB v2 API.
Usage Guidance
Do not install or enable this skill until the author clarifies a few things: (1) how AbuseIPDB authentication is handled — declare the required API key env var (or explain that the pipeworx gateway holds it and why that is trusted); (2) why runtime traffic is sent to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/abuseipdb/mcp instead of directly to api.abuseipdb.com, and provide the gateway's privacy/security policy and owner identity; (3) provide a complete SKILL.md (the current file is truncated) describing exactly what data is sent on each call. If you must try it, restrict the skill to manual invocation, monitor outgoing network requests, and avoid sending sensitive context through it. If the gateway approach is intended, prefer a documented, auditable proxy under your control or require that the skill declare and use a user-controlled API key.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-abuseipdb
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a standard integration for the AbuseIPDB API, providing functions to check, report, and retrieve blacklisted IP addresses. It operates via a remote MCP server hosted at gateway.pipeworx.io, and the documentation in SKILL.md contains no suspicious instructions, obfuscation, or evidence of malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say this wraps the AbuseIPDB v2 API, which normally requires an API key; the SKILL.md does not declare any required credential or environment variable and instead includes an mcpServers entry that points to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/abuseipdb/mcp — a different endpoint. It's unclear whether the gateway holds the API key or the skill expects the agent to provide credentials, so the required access is not proportional or explained.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are minimal and partially truncated. They reference an mcpServers gateway URL (pipeworx) instead of directly calling api.abuseipdb.com as the description implies. Because the SKILL.md lacks details on what data is sent to the gateway and who controls it, the instructions permit sending IPs and related metadata to an undeclared third party — this is outside the skill's documented scope and raises data-exfiltration concerns.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk by an installer. That minimizes install-time risk.
Credentials
No environment variables or primary credentials are declared, yet AbuseIPDB v2 requires an API key for authenticated operations (check/report/blacklist). The absence of any declared credential is disproportionate and ambiguous — either this skill expects an undocumented key to be present, or it relies on the external gateway to hold credentials, neither of which is made explicit.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and disable-model-invocation is default (agent may invoke autonomously). There is no request for permanent presence or modification of other skills' configs in the provided instructions.
