Housing Scout — Smart House(Sale or Lease) Search & Alerts
Analysis
The skill is coherent for housing search and alerts, with disclosed use of a third-party fetch proxy, optional notification delivery, and local saved-search state that users should configure carefully.
Findings (5)
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.
Checks for instructions or behavior that redirect the agent, misuse tools, execute unexpected code, cascade across systems, exploit user trust, or continue outside the intended task.
command-dispatch: tool command-tool: exec
The skill intentionally exposes a local command-execution workflow through bundled Node commands. This is central to the housing-search purpose, but users should review generated commands before running them.
Source: unknown; Homepage: none; Install specifications: No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
The registry metadata gives limited provenance and setup information. The bundled code is present and no remote install script is shown, but users should still be aware of the provenance gap.
Checks whether tool use, credentials, dependencies, identity, account access, or inter-agent boundaries are broader than the stated purpose.
Configure Telegram credentials in OpenClaw Gateway/channel config or environment variables.
External alert delivery may rely on Telegram or gateway credentials outside the skill files. This is expected for notifications, but it grants messaging authority.
Checks for exposed credentials, poisoned memory or context, unclear communication boundaries, or sensitive data that could leave the user's control.
Redfin fetch path uses `https://r.jina.ai/http/...` in this runtime. This is a third-party fetch proxy. ... Subscriptions/notifications can send data outside the runtime (`channel` + `to`).
The artifacts clearly disclose that listing URLs/content may pass through an external fetch proxy and that alert payloads may be delivered outside the local runtime.
The skill writes state under `./scripts/housing_scout/data/` (profiles, queries, subscriptions, snapshots, caches).
Housing preferences, budgets, saved queries, subscription destinations, snapshots, and provider caches are persisted locally and can affect later searches or alerts.
