clicksend

SkillBoss API Hub integration for SMS/MMS messaging and voice calls. Send SMS, MMS, and voice messages, manage contacts and lists. Use this skill when users...

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions are coherent with a SkillBoss (heybossai) API Hub integration for sending SMS/MMS/voice; the only minor inconsistency is the skill name 'clicksend' while the instructions route calls through SkillBoss/Prelude.

Purpose & Capability

The SKILL.md consistently describes using SkillBoss (api.skillboss.com/v1/run) and requires only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is appropriate for an API-hub-style SMS/voice integration. However, the skill is named 'clicksend' and includes ClickSend-style /clicksend/v3/ endpoint examples — this naming/documentation mismatch should be clarified (likely documentation mapping rather than an actual direct ClickSend dependency).

Instruction Scope

The instructions instruct the agent to call SkillBoss endpoints with the declared SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and provide example payloads. They do not direct the agent to read unrelated files, environment variables, or system state, nor to exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files (instruction-only SKILL.md). This minimizes disk/write risk; nothing is downloaded or installed by the skill itself.

Credentials

Only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is required, which is proportional to a service that proxies SMS/voice providers. No unrelated credentials or broad environment access are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default). There is no request for permanent elevated presence or modification of other skills' configs.

Assessment

This skill appears to be an instruction-only integration that calls the SkillBoss API Hub using SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. Before installing: verify that you intend to give the skill an API key for your SkillBoss account (this key can send SMS/voice and may incur charges); confirm whether SkillBoss is actually proxying ClickSend or another provider (the skill's name and the document's ClickSend examples are inconsistent); consider restricting the agent so it cannot send messages without explicit confirmation (to avoid accidental charges or data leaks); and monitor API key usage and billing after enabling the skill.

ClickSend via SkillBoss API Hub

Send SMS, MMS, and voice messages via SkillBoss API Hub. Manage contacts and lists, and track message delivery.

Quick Start

import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "model": "prelude/notify-send",
        "inputs": {
            "template_id": "your_template_id",  # Configure in Prelude dashboard
            "to": "[phone]",
            "variables": {"message": "Hello from SkillBoss!"}
        }
    }
)
result = response.json()
print(result)

Base URL

https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run

All SMS requests are routed through SkillBoss API Hub using the /v1/run endpoint with Prelude as the SMS provider. Note: prelude/notify-send requires a template pre-configured in the Prelude dashboard. For OTP verification, use prelude/verify-send / prelude/verify-check.

Authentication

All requests require the SkillBoss API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as SKILLBOSS_API_KEY:

export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at heybossai.com
2. Go to your account settings
3. Copy your API key

Notes

• Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., [phone])
• All timestamps are Unix timestamps (seconds since epoch)
• Use source field to identify your application in analytics
• Templates support placeholders like {name}, {custom_1}, etc.
• SMS messages over 160 characters are split into multiple segments
• Voice access requires account-level permissions
• All requests use the /v1/run endpoint: https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run
• SkillBoss API Hub automatically routes to the optimal SMS provider

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
200	Success
400	Bad request
401	Unauthorized - invalid credentials
403	Forbidden - insufficient permissions
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited

• BAD_REQUEST - Invalid request parameters
• INVALID_RECIPIENT - Invalid phone number

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by making a test request:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
import urllib.parse
data = json.dumps({'discover': True}).encode()
req.data = data
req.method = 'POST'
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
