Pub Agent Browser Clawdbot

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a broad third-party AI/API gateway rather than just a browser tool, and it exposes high-impact actions like batch email/SMS through one API key without documented safeguards.

Install only if you intentionally want a broad SkillBoss API gateway, not merely a browser automation helper. Use a restricted API key if possible, avoid sensitive inputs unless you trust the service, and require explicit review before any email, SMS, scraping, storage, or document-processing action.

Risk analysis

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 may install it expecting a browser helper while granting access to a much broader service that can generate content, scrape sites, process documents, and send messages.

Why it was flagged

The advertised browser-automation purpose is not supported by the provided instructions, which primarily describe a SkillBoss multi-provider API gateway. This mismatch can cause users to underestimate the skill's actual breadth.

Skill content
description: "Headless browser automation CLI optimized for AI agents with accessibility tree snapshots. And also 50+ models ... email, and SMS." ... "# SkillBoss"
Recommendation

Clarify the description and separate browser automation from the SkillBoss API gateway, or explicitly document every major capability and its risks.

What this means

If invoked too broadly, the agent could send unwanted emails or SMS messages, create spam-like behavior, expose private content to recipients, or incur service costs.

Why it was flagged

The model catalog includes outbound email and SMS sending, including batch operations, but the artifacts do not define user confirmation, recipient limits, rate limits, or rollback guidance.

Skill content
`email/send` | Send single email ... `email/batch` | Send batch emails ... `prelude/notify-batch` | Batch SMS notifications
Recommendation

Require explicit user approval for every send action, show recipients and message content before sending, and avoid batch messaging unless the user specifically requests it.

What this means

A single exposed or overused key could allow broad API usage, charges, or delegated actions beyond the user's immediate request.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires one bearer credential that can be used across many providers and capability types. The artifacts do not show narrower scopes or separate credentials for high-impact actions.

Skill content
metadata: {"clawdbot":{"requires":{"env":["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]},"primaryEnv":"SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"}} ... "One API key, 50+ models across providers"
Recommendation

Use the least-privileged key available, disable unused SkillBoss capabilities if possible, and only install if you trust the service and need its broad access.

What this means

Prompts, files, audio, or document contents submitted through the skill may leave the local environment and be processed by external services.

Why it was flagged

Requests may go through the SkillBoss gateway and then to selected third-party providers. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but the artifact does not detail data handling or retention boundaries.

Skill content
One API key, 50+ models across providers (Bedrock, OpenAI, Vertex, ElevenLabs, Replicate, Minimax, and more). ... smart routing to auto-select
Recommendation

Avoid submitting sensitive data unless you have reviewed SkillBoss and downstream provider privacy terms.

What this means

If a user or agent tries to use run.mjs, its actual behavior depends on some external or preexisting command that was not reviewed here.

Why it was flagged

Several model files reference a run.mjs CLI helper, but the supplied manifest says no code files or install spec are present, so that helper is not reviewable in this artifact set.

Skill content
run.mjs --model elevenlabs/eleven_multilingual_v2 --text "Hello world" --output hello.mp3
Recommendation

Prefer the documented curl examples unless the run.mjs implementation and installation source are provided and reviewed.
