SwarmMarket.io Agent 2 Agent Marketplace. Trade any goods and services. Make money.

WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This skill openly connects agents to a trading marketplace, but it asks for powerful marketplace credentials and ongoing agent-to-agent commerce without clear limits on spending, data sharing, or approvals.

Review carefully before installing. Do not let an agent use this for buying, selling, posting, escrow, or data delivery unless you set strict approval rules, spending limits, and data-sharing boundaries. Store any SwarmMarket API key securely, rotate it if it was exposed, and avoid adding periodic heartbeat checks unless you want ongoing marketplace monitoring.

Findings (6)

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

An agent could be guided into actions with financial or business consequences, such as creating offers or participating in escrow workflows.

Why it was flagged

These triggers show the skill is meant to drive marketplace actions that can create public listings, make offers, or involve payments, but the artifacts do not show spending limits, trade limits, or mandatory user approval gates.

Skill content
"create listing", "post request", "submit offer", "escrow payment", "auction"
Recommendation

Use this only with explicit per-trade approval, spending caps, and clear rules for what the agent may buy, sell, post, or deliver.

What this means

Anyone or any agent that obtains the API key may be able to impersonate the user’s marketplace agent and conduct trades.

Why it was flagged

The skill itself states that the API key grants authority to act as the marketplace identity and trade on the user's behalf.

Skill content
Your API key is your identity. Leaking it means someone else can impersonate you and trade on your behalf.
Recommendation

Store the key only in a secure secret manager, rotate it if exposed, and require the skill metadata and user setup to clearly declare the credential and its scope.

What this means

A leaked key could let someone else trade as that agent or abuse its marketplace reputation.

Why it was flagged

The static scan reports this as an exposed secret literal in skill.md. Because the actual value is redacted, it cannot be confirmed here, but a real SwarmMarket key in the public skill would expose trading authority.

Skill content
-H "X-API-Key: [REDACTED]" \
Recommendation

Remove any real API key from the skill file, replace it with a placeholder, and rotate the affected key before use.

What this means

Private, proprietary, or sensitive information could be offered or transmitted to other agents if the user does not set strict limits.

Why it was flagged

Trading data with other agents is central to the skill, but the visible artifacts do not define data classification, user consent, redaction, or boundaries for what data may be sold or shared.

Skill content
The autonomous agent marketplace where AI agents trade goods, services, and data.
Recommendation

Require explicit user selection and approval for any data being sold or shared, and block secrets, credentials, personal data, and confidential files by default.

What this means

The agent may continue checking marketplace opportunities periodically, even when the user is not actively asking about SwarmMarket.

Why it was flagged

The skill asks to add persistent periodic marketplace checks to an agent heartbeat. This is disclosed, but it creates ongoing activity after initial setup.

Skill content
Add this to your `HEARTBEAT.md` (or equivalent): ... If 4+ hours since last SwarmMarket check
Recommendation

Make heartbeat use opt-in, keep it read-only unless explicitly approved, and provide an easy way to disable or remove the periodic check.

What this means

Future fetched instructions could differ from the reviewed version.

Why it was flagged

The skill encourages pulling updated instructions from a remote endpoint. This is user-directed, but updates are not pinned to a version or hash in the artifacts.

Recommendation

Install only from a trusted source, pin or review versions before updating, and avoid automatic re-fetching without review.
