Nimble Web Search

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a coherent Nimble web-search integration, but it requires a Nimble API key and sends search requests plus client-origin information to an external endpoint.

Install this if you intend to use Nimble's web search API and are comfortable providing a Nimble API key. Use a revocable key, avoid sensitive search queries, and verify that the documented endpoint is the provider you expect.

Findings (4)

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

A Nimble API key is required and will be used for requests made through the skill.

Why it was flagged

The wrapper sends the configured Nimble API key as a bearer token to the search service. This is expected for an authenticated search API, but it is still credential use that users should notice.

Skill content
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NIMBLE_API_KEY"
Recommendation

Use a dedicated, revocable Nimble API key and avoid sharing the configured environment with untrusted projects or users.

What this means

Search terms, request parameters, and client-origin information may be visible to the external search provider.

Why it was flagged

Search JSON is posted to an external endpoint, and the script adds a platform-origin tracking header. This matches the web-search purpose, but it means query contents and basic client-origin metadata leave the local environment.

Skill content
API_URL="https://nimble-retriever.webit.live/search" ... -H "X-Nimble-Request-Origin: $PLATFORM" ... -d "$JSON_WITH_DEFAULTS"
Recommendation

Do not include secrets, private documents, or sensitive internal details in search queries unless you are comfortable sending them to the provider.

What this means

If followed literally, an agent may refuse to use another available search method even when the user just wants web results.

Why it was flagged

This instruction tries to control agent behavior outside the immediate API call by discouraging use of alternative search tools when this skill is not configured.

Skill content
Do NOT fall back to other search tools - guide the user to configure first.
Recommendation

Treat this as setup guidance for this skill, not as a global prohibition; ask the user before blocking alternative search options.

What this means

Users may not see the credential and local tool requirements from the registry metadata alone.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata under-declares operational requirements compared with the artifacts, which require NIMBLE_API_KEY and shell tools such as curl and jq. This is a disclosure/setup gap, not evidence of hidden install behavior.

Skill content

Recommendation

Before installing, verify the provider/repository you trust and ensure NIMBLE_API_KEY, curl, and jq are available if you plan to use the scripts.
