Description
Headless browser automation with Tor SOCKS5 proxy support for accessing .onion sites and anonymous browsing. Use when navigating dark web resources, scraping...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: automated browsing through a local Tor SOCKS5 proxy using Playwright. Before installing, ensure you: (1) understand and comply with laws and terms of service for sites you access (dark‑web scraping can carry legal risk); (2) run Tor in an isolated environment or VM and avoid running the tool as root; (3) verify Playwright and Tor are installed from official sources; (4) be aware the tool will run arbitrary page interactions you issue (don’t paste secrets into pages you automate); and (5) review the full script in your environment if you need higher assurance (the code is straightforward but I only reviewed the visible portions). If you require the agent to run this autonomously, consider restricting when and what it may browse to limit accidental misuse.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tor-browser
Version: 1.1.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'tor-browser' is benign. It provides headless browser automation with Tor SOCKS5 proxy support, which aligns with its stated purpose of navigating .onion sites and anonymous browsing. The `SKILL.md` and `references/setup-guide.md` files contain standard setup instructions and do not exhibit prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/tor-browser.py` code uses Playwright for browser control, correctly configures the Tor proxy, and performs typical browser actions without attempting data exfiltration, persistence, or arbitrary command execution. The `check_tor_connection` function legitimately queries `check.torproject.org` to verify Tor connectivity. While powerful, the skill's capabilities are consistent with its described functionality and lack any indicators of intentional malice.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Tor headless browser automation) matches the included Python CLI and SKILL.md which require Playwright and a local Tor SOCKS5 proxy. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs installing Tor/Playwright, running the provided CLI and Python API, and references only Tor, Playwright, and local system paths (e.g., /etc/tor/torrc, journalctl). It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or transmit data to unknown external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with an included Python script; installation steps are standard package installs (apt/brew, pip, playwright install). No downloads from untrusted hosts or archive extraction are present in the metadata or files.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. The code uses a local Tor proxy by default (socks5://127.0.0.1:9050) and does not request unrelated secrets or external API keys.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not declare elevated privileges or attempt to alter other skills or system-wide agent settings. Model invocation is allowed (the platform default) which is expected for a user-invocable automation skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tor-browser - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tor-browser - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
