Agentplace

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a legitimate skill marketplace installer, but its download-and-install workflow gives remote packages broad local write authority with limited validation.

Install only if you trust AgentPlace and the specific skill publisher. Before installing a downloaded package, inspect the full archive contents, not just SKILL.md, avoid pasting paid API keys into visible chat or shell history when possible, and remove any installed skill you do not recognize from ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills.
