Venice.Ai Router Openclaw

Supreme model router for Venice.ai — the privacy-first, uncensored AI platform. Automatically classifies query complexity and routes to the cheapest adequate...

This skill appears to do what it says: it needs a Venice.ai API key and Python and routes prompts to Venice.ai models. Before installing, consider: (1) Where you store VENICE_API_KEY — putting it in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json or exporting it will persist the secret on disk; prefer a scoped key and store it with appropriate filesystem permissions. (2) Use VENICE_PRIVATE_ONLY if you must keep data on Venice-hosted private models; otherwise some requests may be proxied to external providers (the README labels those as "anonymized"). (3) The skill may read conversation JSON or tools JSON files you point it to — do not pass files with secrets unless you understand which model/tier will receive them. (4) The installer copies files into ~/.openclaw workspace and requires network access for API calls (api.venice.ai and, optionally, web-search endpoints). Review the included scripts if you have elevated threat concerns and monitor API key usage (billing/spending) after enabling the skill.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: venice-router Version: 1.5.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'venice-router' is classified as benign. The `venice-router.py` script, which is the core of the skill, performs its stated purpose of routing LLM prompts to the Venice.ai API. It securely handles the `VENICE_API_KEY` from environment variables, accesses the network only to `https://api.venice.ai`, and manages local cost tracking data within the user's home directory (`~/.venice-router/costs/`). The `install.sh` script copies local files and does not fetch external payloads. Crucially, the Python script explicitly states 'stdlib only, no pip dependencies', significantly reducing supply chain risks. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection against the OpenClaw agent itself. All file and network access is aligned with the skill's described functionality.
