shopify library & shopify spy tool

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a purpose-aligned PPSPY Shopify research skill, but it relies on an external npm MCP server and a PPSPY API key that can spend account credits.

Before installing, confirm you trust the ppspy-mcp-server npm package and the PPSPY service, then use a PPSPY API key you can monitor and set clear limits on searches to control credit spending.

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

Installing the skill may add and run third-party local code to provide the PPSPY tools.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on a globally installed external npm MCP package whose source code is not included in the submitted artifacts.

Skill content
install:\n  command: npm\n  args:\n    - install\n    - -g\n    - "ppspy-mcp-server@1.0.1"
Recommendation

Verify the npm package and publisher before installing, and consider using a controlled environment if you do not already trust the package.

What this means

The skill can use your PPSPY account credentials for API calls, which may consume your account credits.

Why it was flagged

The PPSPY API key is required and is passed into the MCP server environment for provider access.

Skill content
requires:\n  env:\n    - PPSPY_API_KEY\n...\nPPSPY_API_KEY: "{{PPSPY_API_KEY}}"
Recommendation

Use a PPSPY key with the minimum access you need, monitor credit usage, and rotate the key if you remove or stop trusting the integration.

What this means

Broad searches could use more credits than expected if the agent is not given clear limits.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that tool calls can spend PPSPY credits, so repeated or broad searches have a user-visible cost.

Skill content
Each API call consumes credits from your PPSPY account:\n- **Shopify Store/Product Search**: 1 credit per record
Recommendation

Give the agent specific query limits, result counts, and budget expectations before using the PPSPY search tools.
