YouTube Analytics

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 7, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: youtube-analytics-api Version: 1.0.0 The YouTube Analytics skill provides a standard API integration using a managed OAuth proxy service (api.maton.ai). The code examples and instructions in SKILL.md are transparent, using standard Python libraries to perform authenticated HTTP requests for reporting and group management. It includes explicit safety instructions for the AI agent to seek user approval before performing destructive actions, and no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or obfuscation were found.

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

Anyone or any agent with the Maton API key could access YouTube Analytics data, and possibly manage analytics groups, for the connected account within the granted scopes.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a sensitive Maton API key and a connected Google/YouTube Analytics account, so requests can be made using the user's delegated account access.

Skill content
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ... Access is scoped to the YouTube channel(s) associated with the connected Google account.
Recommendation

Use a trusted Maton account, keep MATON_API_KEY private, confirm OAuth scopes during connection setup, and revoke the connection or rotate the key if access is no longer needed.

What this means

Private channel metrics, revenue-related report queries, and account connection details may be visible to or processed by Maton's service.

Why it was flagged

YouTube Analytics requests and responses pass through Maton's gateway, which is expected for this integration but creates a third-party data boundary for private analytics and revenue data.

Skill content
Maton proxies requests to `youtubeanalytics.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Recommendation

Install only if you trust Maton to handle YouTube Analytics data and OAuth connections; avoid querying unnecessary sensitive reports and review Maton's privacy/security terms.

What this means

If approved incorrectly, the agent could create, change, or delete analytics groups used for reporting.

Why it was flagged

The skill includes operations that can mutate YouTube Analytics groups or group items, but the artifact clearly instructs the agent to get explicit approval first.

Skill content
Group management operations (create, update, delete) require explicit user approval. Before executing any group or group item modification, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
Recommendation

Review the exact group, group item, and intended effect before approving any write operation; use read-only report queries unless group management is needed.
