Perplexity Deep Search

Deep search via Perplexity API. Three modes: search (quick facts), reason (complex analysis), research (in-depth reports). Returns AI-grounded answers with c...

This skill appears to be a straightforward Perplexity API client. Before installing: (1) only provide a Perplexity API key (PERPLEXITY_API_KEY) if you trust the operator — the key is used to authenticate requests to api.perplexity.ai; (2) be aware queries you submit will be sent to Perplexity (avoid sending sensitive secrets or PII); (3) the script looks for a key in ~/.config/perplexity/api_key if the env var is not set — ensure that file has appropriate permissions (chmod 600) if you store a key there; (4) the tool uses curl and jq, so confirm those binaries are trusted on your system; (5) note Perplexity API usage may incur cost per the SKILL.md pricing guidance. If you do not want the agent to call the skill autonomously, restrict autonomous invocation via your platform settings or avoid supplying the API key.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: perplexity-deep-search Version: 1.1.0 The OpenClaw skill bundle for Perplexity Deep Search is benign. It provides a legitimate wrapper for the Perplexity API, correctly handling API keys by prioritizing environment variables and falling back to a securely stored local file (`~/.config/perplexity/api_key`). The `scripts/search.sh` uses `jq` to safely construct JSON payloads for `curl` requests to the official `api.perplexity.ai` endpoint, mitigating injection risks. The `SKILL.md` documentation is clear and does not contain any prompt injection attempts or instructions for the OpenClaw agent to perform actions beyond the stated purpose. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, persistence, or obfuscation was found.
