Install in OpenClaw
/install scavio-youtube
Description
Search YouTube and retrieve video metadata. Use for finding videos, checking view counts, channel info, or AI training suitability.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent: it simply forwards queries to Scavio's YouTube API and needs your SCAVIO_API_KEY. Before installing, confirm you trust scavio.dev and the API key provider (check their privacy/terms and quota limits). Be aware that any queries and returned metadata will be sent to/received from api.scavio.dev, so avoid sending sensitive local data in search requests. If you plan to pip install scavio-langchain, remember that Python packages run code on install/runtime — review that package on PyPI/github if you need extra assurance. Finally, protect your SCAVIO_API_KEY the same way you would any API key (do not paste it into public places).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: scavio-youtube
Version: 2.1.0
The skill is a standard API wrapper for the Scavio YouTube service (scavio.dev), providing functionality for video searching, metadata retrieval, and AI training suitability checks. It requires a user-provided API key and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection. The code examples and instructions in SKILL.md are consistent with its stated purpose.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (YouTube search and metadata) align with the declared requirement (SCAVIO_API_KEY) and the documented endpoints at https://api.scavio.dev. The requested credential is the expected one for a third‑party API wrapper.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only how to call Scavio endpoints, handle responses, and install an optional LangChain helper. It does not direct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or local system state.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files. It merely suggests a pip package (scavio-langchain) as an optional integration — no arbitrary downloads or extract/execute steps are present in the manifest.
Credentials
Only a single env var (SCAVIO_API_KEY) is required and is declared as the primary credential. That is proportionate for a cloud API client; no unrelated secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide changes or higher privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other concerning capabilities.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install scavio-youtube - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/scavio-youtube - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
