Description
Official HeyGen plugin for OpenClaw — adds HeyGen as a first-class provider for the built-in video_generate tool. Identity-first avatar videos: pick an avata...
Usage Guidance
This plugin appears to be what it says: an OpenClaw provider that calls api.heygen.com and requires your HeyGen API key. Before installing: (1) confirm you trust the GitHub repo/homepage listed (https://github.com/heygen-com/openclaw-plugin-heygen), (2) only provide a HeyGen API key (the plugin does not request other secrets), (3) be aware the smoke test will create a real HeyGen render and may consume credits, (4) if you don’t want the plugin to be the default for all agents, skip the 'make HeyGen the default' config step, and (5) consider creating a dedicated HeyGen API key (or checking billing/permissions) so any misuse is limited. If you want higher assurance, review the plugin's repository externally (especially video-generation-provider.ts) or install from the official GitHub release.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-plugin-heygen
Version: 0.1.2
The openclaw-plugin-heygen bundle is a legitimate integration for the HeyGen Video Agent API. The core logic in video-generation-provider.ts correctly implements the OpenClaw provider interface, utilizing guarded HTTP transports for SSRF protection and handling API polling with appropriate backoff strategies. The instructions in SKILL.md and INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md are strictly functional, guiding the AI agent through installation and configuration without any evidence of malicious prompt injection or unauthorized data access. All network traffic is directed to the official api.heygen.com domain.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, openclaw.plugin.json, and the provider code all line up: this is an OpenClaw video provider for HeyGen and it only declares HEYGEN_API_KEY as the required credential. Nothing in the metadata or manifest requests unrelated cloud credentials or host-level access.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions (SKILL.md and INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md) tell the agent to install the plugin, ask the user for a HeyGen API key, set it via env or OpenClaw onboarding, and optionally run a small smoke test that creates a real HeyGen render (costs credits). The instructions reference only OpenClaw config files (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json) and HeyGen endpoints — no unexplained file reads, secret collection, or off-platform exfiltration are present.
Install Mechanism
No automatic download/install spec is embedded (instruction-only install). Included source files are standard plugin code and unit tests. There are no install steps that pull arbitrary archives or call back to personal servers. package-lock contains many transitive entries (e.g., AWS-related packages) but package.json devDeps are minimal; this is not evidence of an install-time remote fetch from unknown hosts.
Credentials
Only HEYGEN_API_KEY is declared and used as the primary credential. The SKILL.md and code use that key to authenticate to api.heygen.com. No other SECRET/TOKEN/PASSWORD env vars are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The plugin is marked enabledByDefault in openclaw.plugin.json and the docs show commands that save defaults to the OpenClaw config and can make HeyGen the instance-wide default video provider — this is expected for a provider plugin but you should be aware these config changes affect all agents on the OpenClaw instance.
