opennews

Crypto news search, AI ratings, trading signals, and real-time updates via the OpenNews 6551 API. Supports keyword search, coin filtering, source filtering,...

Security Scan

The skill is coherent: it documents using curl + an OPENNEWS_TOKEN to call the ai.6551.io news API and does not request unrelated credentials or do unexplained system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (crypto news, AI ratings, trading signals) align with the declared requirement (OPENNEWS_TOKEN) and the SKILL.md which shows authenticated REST calls to https://ai.6551.io. Requested binary (curl) is appropriate for the provided curl examples.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to performing HTTPS requests to the documented API endpoints and using the OPENNEWS_TOKEN in a Bearer Authorization header. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading arbitrary files, other env vars, or transmitting data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

Install spec only lists a brew formula for curl. This is low risk but slightly odd because curl is commonly available on target OSes; installing curl via brew is harmless but arguably unnecessary. No downloads from untrusted URLs or archives are present.

Credentials

Only a single API token (OPENNEWS_TOKEN) is required and it is used directly in the Authorization header as expected. No unrelated secrets or config paths are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false (default) and user-invocable:true. The skill does not request elevated or persistent system privileges and does not modify other skills' configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but is not combined with other concerning factors.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent, but before installing: ensure the OPENNEWS_TOKEN you supply is scoped only for the 6551 service and not reused elsewhere; confirm you trust the ai.6551.io service (review provider docs and rate limits); rotate the token if you later stop using the skill; avoid granting broader credentials (AWS/GitHub/etc.) that the skill does not need. Note the brew install for curl is benign but typically unnecessary on most systems.
