PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 8, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: instagram-publish Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a legitimate tool for publishing media to Instagram via the MyBrandMetrics API. The core logic in `scripts/publish_instagram.py` correctly implements media uploads, carousel handling, and status polling using the `requests` library, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized command execution. The instructions in `SKILL.md` and the configuration guidance are consistent with the stated purpose and do not contain harmful prompt injections.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

A mistaken invocation could publish unwanted content to a connected Instagram account.

Why it was flagged

The skill can cause a real Instagram post to be created. This matches the stated purpose, but public posting is high-impact if the wrong media, caption, or account is used.

Skill content
This skill enables publishing content to Instagram via the MyBrandMetrics API.
Recommendation

Before running the script, confirm the account/connection ID, exact caption, media list, and whether a Reel should be shared to feed.

What this means

Anyone or any agent action with these values may be able to publish through the configured account.

Why it was flagged

These credentials and identifiers delegate authority to publish through the connected Instagram/MyBrandMetrics account.

Skill content
`--api-key`: MyBrandMetrics API Key (check `TOOLS.md` for current key)
- `--connection-id`: Instagram Connection ID
- `--account-id`: MyBrandMetrics Account ID
Recommendation

Keep the API key out of shared chats/logs, verify the account IDs before posting, and rotate the key if it is accidentally exposed.

What this means

Users have less external context for verifying who maintains the skill or whether the MyBrandMetrics endpoint is the intended provider.

Why it was flagged

No automatic installer is present, but the package provenance is not identified, which matters for a skill that receives publishing credentials.
