Open Exchange Rate

BenignClawScan verdict for this skill. Analyzed May 1, 2026, 8:07 AM.

Analysis

This skill appears to do what it says—fetch exchange rates from a public API—with only minor setup and network-use notes.

GuidanceThis looks safe for normal exchange-rate lookups. Be aware that it contacts open.er-api.com for rate data and may require Python 3 plus the requests package even though the registry does not declare those setup requirements.

Findings (2)

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.

Abnormal behavior control

Checks for instructions or behavior that redirect the agent, misuse tools, execute unexpected code, cascade across systems, exploit user trust, or continue outside the intended task.

Tool Misuse and Exploitation
SeverityInfoConfidenceHighStatusNote
scripts/get_rates.py
url = f"https://open.er-api.com/v6/latest/{base_currency}"
    response = requests.get(url)

The script makes an outbound request to the disclosed ExchangeRate-API endpoint using the requested base currency; this is purpose-aligned but means currency queries are sent to a third-party service.

User impactThe exchange-rate provider can see the requested currency code, but no API key, local files, or personal data are shown being sent.
RecommendationUse the skill when you are comfortable with currency lookup requests going to open.er-api.com.
Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

metadata
Required binaries (all must exist): none ... Install specifications No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.

The metadata does not declare a runtime or dependency setup, while SKILL.md usage runs python3 scripts and the code imports requests; this is a minor setup/dependency declaration gap rather than evidence of unsafe behavior.

User impactThe skill may not work unless Python and the requests package are already available, and that requirement is not clearly declared in the registry metadata.
RecommendationBefore installing, confirm your environment has Python 3 and the requests library, or ask the publisher to declare these requirements.
