kipris-cli

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill matches its KIPRIS search purpose, but its default API call sends the KIPRIS key and search terms over unencrypted HTTP.

Review before installing. If you use it, provide only a KIPRIS key you are comfortable using for this CLI, prefer an environment variable or secret store over --key, and set KIPRIS_BASE to an HTTPS endpoint if KIPRIS supports it. Also verify that the missing kipris-cli dispatcher or equivalent wrapper is present before relying on the examples.

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.

What this means

Someone on the network or an intermediary proxy could potentially see the KIPRIS API key and confidential search terms, and the key could be used to consume the user's quota.

Why it was flagged

The provider call is purpose-aligned, but the default uses unencrypted HTTP and places the API key in the URL query string, exposing the key and search terms to network intermediaries.

Skill content
KIPRIS_BASE="${KIPRIS_BASE:-http://plus.kipris.or.kr/kipo-api/kipi}" ... local url="${KIPRIS_BASE}/${path}${sep}ServiceKey=${key}" ... curl ... "$url"
Recommendation

Use an HTTPS KIPRIS base URL if supported, avoid sensitive searches on untrusted networks, and have the publisher default to HTTPS or another credential-safe transport.

What this means

Users may not get a clear install-time prompt that this skill needs a quota-bearing API key.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not declare the KIPRIS credential contract even though the skill requires a KIPRIS_PLUS_KEY in its documentation and code.

Skill content
Required env vars: none; Env var declarations: none; Primary credential: none; Capability signals: requires-sensitive-credentials
Recommendation

Declare KIPRIS_PLUS_KEY as the required credential/env var, and prefer secret/environment storage over passing keys with --key on the command line.

What this means

The skill may not run exactly as documented without an additional wrapper or manual setup.

Why it was flagged

The examples and docs invoke bin/kipris-cli, but the provided manifest lists subcommand scripts and does not include a bin/kipris-cli dispatcher or an install spec.

Skill content
CLI="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)/bin/kipris-cli"
Recommendation

Publisher should include the dispatcher script or update the documentation, and declare runtime dependencies such as bash, curl, and python3.
