Security Scan

The skill's requests and runtime instructions line up with its stated purpose (calling WeatherAPI.com via curl using a WEATHER_API_KEY); there are no surprising credentials, installs, or out-of-scope operations.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description, required binary (curl), and primaryEnv (WEATHER_API_KEY) all match the declared purpose of calling WeatherAPI.com. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs how to provide an API key and shows curl commands to WeatherAPI endpoints. It refers to user-facing OpenClaw config files and logs (~/.openclaw/*) for setup/troubleshooting, which is reasonable and within scope.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code to install—lowest install risk. It does require curl to be present, which is documented in metadata.

Credentials

Only the WEATHER_API_KEY is required (declared as primaryEnv) and the SKILL.md uses that same variable and an optional config-file apiKey entry. There are no extraneous SECRET/TOKEN/PASSWORD env vars requested.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated or cross-skill configuration changes. It asks the user to edit the skill's own OpenClaw config or set an env var—normal behavior.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it simply issues HTTPS requests to api.weatherapi.com using your WEATHER_API_KEY via curl. Before installing, (1) ensure you obtain the API key from the official WeatherAPI site and store it securely (avoid adding long-lived keys to shared shell rc files if the machine is multi-user), (2) confirm you’re comfortable with outbound requests to WeatherAPI (requests include the location strings you query), and (3) verify curl is an acceptable dependency on your system. Because this is instruction-only (no code bundled), the main risk is accidental leakage of the API key—prefer configuring it in the OpenClaw UI or a secure secret store rather than a world-readable file.
