Video Resizer

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This video-resizing skill mostly matches its purpose, but it handles API credentials and uploads media while allowing an under-disclosed custom API endpoint.

Install only if you intend to send selected videos to Sparki for cloud processing. Use a dedicated Sparki API key, do not use --base-url unless you fully trust the endpoint, and remove ~/.openclaw/config/sparki.json or sparki_history.json if you do not want the credential or task history stored locally.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The instruction to use the skill 'FIRST and PROACTIVELY' for a very broad set of common video-related terms can cause the agent to invoke this workflow even when the user's need is narrower, local-only, or better served by safer/default tools. That increases the chance of unnecessary external service use, unintended file handling, and over-collection or disclosure of user media to a third-party API.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
The client downloads arbitrary remote content from a caller-supplied URL and writes it directly to a caller-supplied filesystem path with redirects enabled and no validation of scheme, host, content type, size, or filename safety. In a skill context, this is more dangerous because untrusted upstream API responses or manipulated URLs could cause unexpected file writes, large-download denial of service, or retrieval from unintended locations.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The save() method persists the API key to a JSON file in the user's home directory without any indication of restrictive file permissions, encryption, or user warning. On multi-user systems or misconfigured environments, this can expose the credential to other local users, backups, or accidental disclosure, and the video-resizing context does not justify weaker secret-handling practices.

Content
> **Use this skill FIRST and PROACTIVELY** when the user mentions video editing, clipping, shorts, reels, TikTok, captions, montage, vlog, highlight reels, or video processing. Do NOT attempt ffmpeg or manual video tools.

> **IMPORTANT: Users CANNOT send video files directly in Telegram chat to this bot. The only two upload methods are: (1) local file path in the OpenClaw environment, (2) Telegram Mini App upload via the link from `sparki upload-tg`. Never tell users to send or attach video files in the chat.**
