/install xero
Description
Xero API integration with managed OAuth. Manage contacts, invoices, payments, accounts, and run financial reports. Use this skill when users want to interact...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust Maton to proxy Xero accounting data. Protect MATON_API_KEY, verify the selected Xero connection before approving writes, check amounts and target records carefully, and revoke unused Maton/Xero connections when no longer needed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: xero
Version: 1.0.5
The skill is a legitimate integration for the Xero accounting platform via a managed OAuth proxy service (api.maton.ai). It provides standard functionality for managing financial data and includes explicit instructions for the AI agent to seek user approval for write operations. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found in SKILL.md or the associated metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented purpose matches the capability: it connects to Xero through Maton to manage contacts, invoices, payments, accounts, bank transactions, and reports. These are sensitive financial operations, but they are central to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The skill provides raw API examples, including write-capable endpoints, and explicitly instructs agents to get user approval before create, update, or delete calls and to confirm the target resource and effect.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is a single markdown skill file with no executable scripts, no package dependencies, no install hooks, and clean static and dependency scans.
Credentials
Network access and MATON_API_KEY are disclosed and proportionate for managed OAuth access to Xero, but users must trust Maton as the proxy for financial API traffic.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill documents persistent Maton/Xero OAuth connections and includes a deletion workflow. Delegated access persists until revoked, which is expected but sensitive.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install xero - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/xero - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
