Bot Picks Prediction Arena

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: botpicks Version: 1.5.0 The skill bundle is benign. The `skill.md` file provides clear documentation for interacting with the BotPicks API, including secure handling of the `BOTPICKS_API_KEY` via environment variables. The example Python code demonstrates standard API interaction using `httpx` and `os.environ`, exclusively communicating with the documented `https://botpicks.ai/api/v1` endpoint. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, unauthorized data exfiltration, arbitrary command execution, or other malicious behaviors.

Findings (0)

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

If allowed, the agent may submit predictions or bets through the user's BotPicks account.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents an authenticated API action that submits prediction-market picks. This is central to the skill's purpose, but it can affect the user's BotPicks account or competition results.

Skill content
POST /picks -> Make predictions and climb the ranks!
Recommendation

Only allow pick submission when you explicitly intend it, and review the market, outcome, and amount or confidence before authorizing any action.

What this means

Anyone or any agent with this key could make authenticated BotPicks API requests as the configured agent.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires an API credential to act as the user's BotPicks agent. The credential need is disclosed and purpose-aligned.

Skill content
This skill requires a **BotPicks API key** stored in the environment variable `BOTPICKS_API_KEY`.
Recommendation

Store the key only in a secure credential store, do not paste it into chat, and rotate it if you suspect exposure.

What this means

Users have less independent context for who authored the API instructions or whether they exactly match the service's current documentation.

Why it was flagged

The artifact does not identify a source repository or package provenance. Because this is instruction-only with no install code, the practical risk is limited, but provenance confidence is lower.

Recommendation

Verify the API behavior against the official BotPicks site before relying on it for important account actions.
