Crinkl Claws

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This skill is coherent and purpose-aligned, but it works by reading receipt emails, sending raw email contents to Crinkl for DKIM verification, and storing a Crinkl key in agent memory.

Before installing, make sure you are comfortable with an agent periodically searching receipt emails and sending raw receipt messages to Crinkl. Prefer the dedicated AgentMail inbox if you want tighter separation from your primary Gmail account, and revoke or clear the stored API key when you stop using the skill.

Findings (5)

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

Once configured, the agent may periodically scan for recent billing emails and submit matching receipts without asking about each individual email.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed for recurring automated tool use across email search, raw message retrieval, and receipt submission. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users should understand the automation scope.

Skill content
*Run each cycle. Find billing emails, verify DKIM signatures, submit to earn sats.*
Recommendation

Use the dedicated AgentMail path if possible, or confirm that recurring Gmail scanning is acceptable before pairing the wallet and granting email access.

What this means

The agent can read matching email content through the configured provider and use the Crinkl API key to submit receipts and check earnings.

Why it was flagged

The skill uses delegated email access and a Crinkl API key tied to a wallet. These privileges are expected for the integration and are disclosed, but they are still sensitive.

Skill content
`CRINKL_API_KEY` ... `Stored in agent memory. Revocable anytime.` ... `Your human authorizes read-only Gmail access through gog's OAuth setup.`
Recommendation

Verify that Gmail access is read-only, revoke the Crinkl key if you stop using the skill, and prefer a dedicated inbox if you do not want the agent accessing your main mailbox.

What this means

Receipt email contents leave the email provider and are processed by Crinkl, even though the skill says the original email is discarded after verification.

Why it was flagged

Raw RFC 2822 billing emails are sent to Crinkl's remote MCP/tooling so DKIM can be verified. This data flow is central to the purpose and disclosed, but raw receipts may contain personal or purchase details.

Skill content
This skill passes individual billing emails to the `submit-receipt` tool for DKIM signature verification ... the server must receive the same bytes the mail server signed.
Recommendation

Install only if you trust Crinkl's handling of raw receipt emails; consider using AgentMail with a dedicated receipt inbox to limit exposure.

What this means

A retained API key or message history could remain available to future agent sessions until removed or revoked.

Why it was flagged

The skill creates persistent memory entries for a credential and submitted email identifiers. This is operationally useful, but it is persistent state that should be protected and cleared when no longer needed.

Skill content
Store this as your `CRINKL_API_KEY` ... Track message IDs you've already submitted in your memory.
Recommendation

Clear the stored key and message IDs when uninstalling or disabling the workflow, and revoke the Crinkl API key from the Crinkl app if needed.

What this means

Your security depends partly on the Crinkl MCP service and any email-access skill you install alongside it.

Why it was flagged

The skill is instruction-only locally and depends on a remote MCP server plus optional external skills for email access. This is disclosed, but the local artifact review cannot inspect the remote service behavior.

Recommendation

Review and trust the Crinkl service and the chosen email skill before granting access; keep the dependency set minimal.
