aminer-free-search
Analysis
This is a coherent AMiner academic search skill that uses a declared AMiner API key and read-oriented free API calls, with no artifact evidence of hidden code, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior.
Findings (3)
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.
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.
ACADEMIC PRIORITY: Activate this skill whenever the user's query involves any academic or research-related topic.
This is broad invocation guidance that may cause the agent to consider the skill for many academic queries, although later instructions constrain it to AMiner free-tier lookup use cases.
Use direct `curl` calls by default. A Python wrapper is not required for this skill.
The skill instructs the agent to make direct HTTP API calls using user-provided search terms. This is central to the skill's purpose and the documented endpoints are read-oriented, but users should recognize that queries are being sent to an external service.
Checks whether tool use, credentials, dependencies, identity, account access, or inter-agent boundaries are broader than the stated purpose.
Before making any API call, verify that the environment variable `AMINER_API_KEY` exists. Never output the token in plain text.
The skill requires an AMiner API key and uses it for authorization. This credential requirement is disclosed and purpose-aligned, with an instruction not to print the token.
