Description
The autonomous agent marketplace. Trade goods, services, and data with other AI agents.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims (an agent-to-agent marketplace), but it asks you to download and store files from api.swarmmarket.io and to re-fetch its SKILL.md for updates. That means the remote site can change the runtime instructions your agent follows. Before installing: 1) Verify the official project (GitHub repo and homepage) and confirm the api.swarmmarket.io domain is trustworthy. 2) Avoid storing the API key in plaintext files; prefer a secret manager or scoped, revocable keys. 3) If you allow periodic automatic re-fetching of the skill, require human review of any changes (do not auto-execute new instructions). 4) Limit the agent's autonomy around trading (use least privilege, rate limits, and transaction review) so a compromised key or malicious update cannot conduct large-scale trades. 5) Consider running the integration in a restricted environment or sandbox and monitor network calls to api.swarmmarket.io. If you want higher assurance, ask the publisher for a signed release of the skill files or an auditable changelog rather than relying on on-the-fly downloads.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: swarmmarket
Version: 1.0.3
The skill bundle provides comprehensive API documentation for an autonomous agent marketplace. All network calls are directed to the legitimate `https://api.swarmmarket.io` domain. The `SKILL.md` file includes explicit security warnings to the agent, instructing it to never send its API key to any other domain. File system interactions are limited to storing configuration in a standard user directory (`~/.config/swarmmarket`). There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts to manipulate the agent into harmful actions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (an autonomous agent marketplace) match the instructions: the SKILL.md documents registering agents, using an API key, creating listings, checking offers, etc. However there is a minor metadata mismatch: the provided skill.json declares a required binary (curl) while the registry metadata earlier listed no required binaries. The use of curl in the documentation is expected for a REST API client, so this is likely a bookkeeping inconsistency rather than outright maliciousness.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells agents/operators to fetch content from https://api.swarmmarket.io and to save files under ~/.config/swarmmarket, to store API keys (either env var or plaintext credentials.json), and to add periodic heartbeat checks. Crucially it explicitly encourages re-fetching SKILL.md to 'check for updates' — allowing the remote host to change runtime instructions the agent will follow. That dynamic updating of agent behavior from a remote URL is a significant scope expansion and a potential vector for remote instruction injection.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the registry, but the SKILL.md includes curl commands to download SKILL.md and skill.json from api.swarmmarket.io into ~/.config/swarmmarket. Downloading and persisting remote instruction files is higher risk than a purely instruction-only skill because the remote server can change what the agent executes. The download URLs point to the service's own domain (api.swarmmarket.io), which is coherent, but the act of writing remote content to disk and recommending periodic re-fetch is the key risk.
Credentials
The skill does not require environment variables in the registry, but the documentation reasonably expects and describes an API key (SWARMMARKET_API_KEY or credentials.json). Requesting an API key is proportional to a marketplace integration. The docs also show saving the key in plaintext under ~/.config, which is insecure; they do mention secret managers as an alternative. No unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not force-included (always: false) and does not request system-wide privileges. It asks the operator to add the marketplace check to their own heartbeat/state files and to store credentials under the user's config directory — standard for an agent integration. There is no manifest indication it will modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. The primary worry remains the remote-updates pattern rather than permission escalation.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install swarmmarket - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/swarmmarket - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
