This skill does what it says (searches via public SearX instances), but review these points before installing: - Dependency mismatch: The script calls node and curl (and uses grep/sed). Ensure those binaries exist on the agent environment; the skill metadata does not declare them. - Privacy: Your search queries are sent to public SearX instances chosen at runtime. That can leak sensitive queries to third parties. If you need confidentiality, don’t use this skill or configure it to use a trusted instance or proxy. - Implementation inconsistencies: The README promises up to 3 instances/attempts but the script may consider up to 20 instances and allows up to 10 attempts. That could affect behavior/rate limiting. - If you proceed, inspect or modify the script to restrict the instance list to trusted endpoints, and add explicit dependency metadata for node/curl so you know the runtime requirements. If you want a higher-confidence assessment, provide the agent environment details (are node and curl available?) and confirm whether you accept transmitting queries to arbitrary public instances.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: searx-search Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides a legitimate web search capability using public SearX instances. The script `scripts/search_searx.sh` fetches a list of instances from the reputable `searx.space` domain and performs searches using standard `curl` requests. While it uses `node` for JSON parsing and URL encoding, the implementation is functional and lacks any indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
