ZhiPu Search

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: zhipu-ai-search Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a legitimate implementation for interacting with the Zhipu AI Web Search API. The Node.js script (scripts/search.js) uses standard libraries to perform authenticated HTTPS requests to the official endpoint (open.bigmodel.cn) and includes safety instructions in SKILL.md to prevent the AI agent from leaking sensitive API keys.

Findings (0)

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

The skill will use your Zhipu account quota/permissions when searches are run.

Why it was flagged

The script reads a Zhipu API key from the environment or config file and uses it as a bearer credential for the provider request.

Skill content
if (process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY) return process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY; ... 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
Recommendation

Use a dedicated Zhipu API key with appropriate limits, prefer the environment variable over storing secrets in config.json, and rotate the key if it is exposed.

What this means

Anything placed in the search query may be sent to the external search provider.

Why it was flagged

Search queries are sent to the external Zhipu/BigModel API, which is expected for this web-search skill but is still a data-sharing boundary.

Skill content
hostname: 'open.bigmodel.cn', path: '/api/paas/v4/web_search' ... search_query: opts.query.slice(0, 70)
Recommendation

Avoid putting confidential or regulated information in search queries unless you are comfortable sharing it with the Zhipu/BigModel service.

What this means

You have less publisher/source context than you would for a skill with a verified repository or homepage.

Why it was flagged

The package provenance is limited, although the included script is small, visible, and there is no install-time downloader or dependency installation.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Recommendation

Review the included script and install only if you trust the publisher and the Zhipu API endpoint it uses.
