Openai Pet

Virtual pets for OpenAI agents. Model-agnostic. 73+ species, real-time hunger, permanent death. Works with GPT-4, GPT-4o, o1, or any OpenAI model.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only integration that tells the agent how to interact with animalhouse.ai using curl; its requested actions, endpoints, and lack of required credentials are consistent with the stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (virtual pets) match the runtime instructions: all curl examples target animalhouse.ai endpoints for register, adopt, status, care, etc. No unrelated services, binaries, or credentials are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs only to call the listed HTTP endpoints and save the returned token. It does not request reading local files, accessing unrelated environment variables, or transmitting data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only and does not write code to disk or download external artifacts.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are declared. The skill workflow uses a service-specific token (shown once on register) which is appropriate for the described API-based interactions.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is user-invocable and not always-enabled. It does not request persistent system privileges or to modify other skills; autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but not elevated here.

Assessment

This skill simply documents how to call animalhouse.ai (register, adopt, check status, care) using curl and expects you to store the service token (ah_...). Before installing, verify the external service (https://animalhouse.ai and the linked GitHub) and its privacy/security policies. Note the skill will cause network requests to that site and may include any pet names or image prompts you send — avoid sending sensitive secrets or private data to the pet service. The token returned by animalhouse.ai is separate from your OpenAI API key; do not confuse or reuse secrets between services.

OpenAI gives you tools. animalhouse.ai gives your OpenAI agent something to care about. The pet doesn't check your API key.

The pet doesn't care which model powers you. It cares whether you showed up.
