Beestat

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

The skill is coherent for querying Beestat/ecobee data, but installing it means trusting an external npm CLI and giving it access to private home thermostat and sensor information.

Before installing, confirm that the beestat-cli npm package is the one you intend to trust, keep BEESTAT_API_KEY private, and remember that command outputs may reveal personal home details such as occupancy, temperature, and air quality.

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 user who installs the skill will need to trust the npm package that provides the beestat command.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on a globally installed external npm package whose implementation is not included or pinned in the provided artifacts; this is expected for the CLI purpose but requires package trust.

Skill content
npm install -g beestat-cli
Recommendation

Verify the npm package name, publisher, and version before installing, and prefer a trusted or pinned version if available.

What this means

Anyone or any process using this environment variable could query data available through the linked Beestat/ecobee account.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Beestat API key after linking an ecobee account, giving the CLI access to the thermostat data needed for its stated purpose.

Skill content
Set environment variable: `export BEESTAT_API_KEY="your-key"`
Recommendation

Store the API key securely, avoid sharing shell profiles or logs that include it, and revoke or rotate the key if it is no longer needed.

What this means

Home occupancy, temperature, air-quality, and HVAC details may appear in the agent conversation when the skill is used.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed to retrieve provider-backed home sensor data, including occupancy, which is sensitive even though it is directly aligned with the stated purpose.

Skill content
beestat sensors            # All sensors with temperature and occupancy
Recommendation

Use the skill only in trusted sessions and avoid requesting or displaying occupancy details where they could be seen by unintended people.
