Patent Scout

通过百度或Google Patents在线检索中国专利信息，支持关键词和专利号查询，输出结构化专利摘要和申请人等数据。

This skill appears to do what it claims: an npm/Node.js scraper for patent results from Baidu or Google Patents. Before installing or running it: (1) inspect the included scripts yourself (or run in an isolated environment) because npm install will fetch third‑party packages; (2) note small metadata inconsistencies (version numbers and an odd install path in SKILL.md) — not malicious but worth confirming you have the correct release; (3) be careful when using a proxy: provide only proxies you trust (an attacker-controlled proxy could see all traffic you send through it); (4) respect target sites' robots/TOS and throttle requests (SKILL.md already warns about rate limits); (5) if you need higher assurance, run npm install with a lockfile audit or use a sandbox/container to execute the tool.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: patent-scout Version: 1.0.1 The patent-scout skill is a legitimate tool designed to search for Chinese patent information by scraping Baidu and Google Patents. The core logic in `scripts/patent-scout.js` uses standard libraries (axios, cheerio) to perform HTTP requests and parse HTML results, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection. The script's behavior aligns perfectly with its stated purpose of retrieving and formatting patent metadata.
