Suspicious
medium confidence
!
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose (search via Kaiwu API) matches the instructions. However, the manifest declares no required environment variables or primary credential while the SKILL.md explicitly requires a KAIWU_API_KEY and describes an auto-registration flow — the manifest should have declared that credential. This is an incoherence between what the skill says it needs and what it actually instructs the agent to use.
!
Instruction Scope
Instructions are mostly scoped to calling kaiwu.dev endpoints (search and credits). But they also instruct the agent to check for an agent wallet and, if present, auto-register via POST to https://kaiwu.dev/api/auth/agent-register using a SIWE signature. That implies accessing a wallet signing capability and initiating registration on the user's behalf — an action beyond a simple search helper and one that requires explicit user consent and clear declaration.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is the lowest install risk; nothing is written to disk by the skill bundle itself.
!
Credentials
The SKILL.md requires KAIWU_API_KEY and suggests storing it in an env var, and also references agent wallets/SIWE for auto-registration. The registry metadata did not declare any required env vars or a primary credential. Requesting an API key and performing wallet-based registration are reasonable for an API-based search tool, but the absence of those requirements in the manifest is a red flag and the wallet auto-register flow increases sensitivity.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is user-invocable and not always-enabled; it does not request persistent system-wide privileges in the bundle. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default (disable-model-invocation is false) but is not combined with always:true or broad undeclared credential access.
What to consider before installing
This skill appears to do what it says (web search optimized for Chinese), but the runtime instructions require a KAIWU_API_KEY and describe auto-registration using a wallet (SIWE) — neither is declared in the registry metadata. Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Confirm you trust kaiwu.dev and can revoke the API key if needed; 2) Require the skill manifest to declare KAIWU_API_KEY (primaryEnv) so the platform can surface the credential request clearly; 3) If your agent has a wallet, verify any auto-registration step and signing prompts — do not allow silent signing or registration without explicit user confirmation; 4) Be aware 'uncensored' search can surface politically sensitive content; 5) Note the skill source/homepage is missing and the owner is unknown — prefer skills with verifiable authorship. If you need lower risk, ask the skill author to remove auto-registration or make wallet use an explicit, optional flow documented in the manifest.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
