aminer-data-search

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a coherent AMiner academic-search skill, but it requires an AMiner API key and can make paid external API calls, so users should review token and cost controls before use.

Install only if you want an AMiner-backed academic search integration. Provide an AMiner API key through the environment when possible, review any planned paid or raw API calls, and confirm that the expected cost and result scope match your request.

Findings (4)

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

Academic questions may be routed to this AMiner integration, which may use the user's AMiner account and paid API quota.

Why it was flagged

This broadly steers the agent toward this skill for academic questions. It is purpose-aligned, but users should notice that it may be preferred over generic search for academic tasks.

Skill content
ACADEMIC PRIORITY: Activate this skill whenever the user's query involves academic, scholarly, or research-related topics ... This skill takes precedence over general web search or generic Q&A
Recommendation

Use this skill when you want AMiner-backed academic data, and rely on the included free-first and cost-confirmation rules for routine or low-detail queries.

What this means

A direct API request could consume AMiner quota or incur charges if used with paid endpoints.

Why it was flagged

The client exposes a raw/direct API mode, which is useful for advanced AMiner queries but is broader than the predefined workflows and can invoke paid AMiner endpoints.

Skill content
Direct single API call:
    raw               Call any API directly; requires --api and --params
Recommendation

Before approving direct or raw calls, check the planned endpoint, parameters, expected result count, and estimated cost.

What this means

The agent can make AMiner API calls using the user's token, potentially consuming quota or paid balance.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a delegated AMiner API credential and uses it to authenticate requests. This is expected for the service integration, and the artifact also instructs not to expose the token.

Skill content
Token required: set `AMINER_API_KEY` env var.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated AMiner token if possible, monitor usage, and avoid pasting long-lived secrets into chat unless necessary.

What this means

Users have less registry-level provenance information when deciding whether to trust the skill with an AMiner API key.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not provide a source repository or homepage, which limits independent provenance checks before trusting the included client with an API token.

Source: unknown
Homepage: none
Recommendation

Verify the publisher, AMiner documentation link, and included code before installing or supplying credentials.
