Description
This skill provides comprehensive network administration and diagnostic tools through x-cmd CLI, including network scanning with Nmap, ARP table management,...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says (network diagnostics) but there are important gaps you should clear before installing or allowing it to run: 1) Confirm provenance — the registry metadata has no homepage and the source is 'unknown' even though SKILL.md lists a GitHub repo; verify that repository and its releases are trustworthy. 2) Ensure the required binaries exist and are from safe sources: x-cmd (the skill's CLI), nmap, and a curl-compatible tool are needed for many features — the skill should declare these in metadata. 3) Be cautious with privileges: some commands require administrator/root and raw socket access; run scans in a controlled environment and check your network policy/legal rules before performing scanning. 4) If you enable autonomous invocation for the agent, consider restricting or monitoring it: network scanning can be disruptive and has security/policy implications. If the publisher can clarify the missing required-binaries metadata and provide verifiable source artifacts, that would raise confidence; until then treat the package as suspicious and proceed only with verification and appropriate safeguards.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: x-network Version: 1.0.1 The skill provides high-risk network administration capabilities including port scanning (nmap), DNS configuration management, and ARP table analysis via the x-cmd CLI. While these tools are consistent with the stated purpose of network diagnostics in SKILL.md, they grant the agent significant network-level access and the ability to modify system configurations (e.g., DNS settings), which are considered high-risk behaviors. No evidence of intentional malicious behavior, data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md clearly depends on an x-cmd CLI and on tools like nmap and curl (and sometimes root/administrator privileges) for its advertised functionality, but the registry metadata declares no required binaries and provides no install spec. That mismatch is unexpected: a network-tool skill would legitimately need those binaries and should declare them.
Instruction Scope
The instructions direct running network-scanning and network-configuration commands (nmap scans, ARP inspection, DNS refreshes, routing table access, etc.) which are within the stated purpose. The SKILL.md does not appear to instruct reading unrelated files or environment variables, but it does require elevated permissions for certain operations (raw sockets, OS fingerprinting) — callers should be aware these operations can be intrusive on a network and may be restricted by policy.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files, which reduces risk from arbitrary downloads. However, because it depends on external binaries (x-cmd, nmap, curl) the lack of declared required binaries in metadata is an inconsistency to resolve.
Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths — which is proportionate for a CLI-based network diagnostic skill. There is no unexplained request for secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. Autonomous invocation is permitted by platform default but not combined with other high privileges here. The skill does require elevated OS/network privileges for some operations (e.g., raw packet scans), but it does not request persistent system changes or other skills' credentials.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install x-network
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /x-network
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
