Telnyx STT Provider
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 12, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a straightforward Telnyx speech-to-text plugin; it uses a Telnyx API key and sends audio to Telnyx as expected for transcription.
Before installing, make sure you trust the plugin source, provide a dedicated Telnyx API key, and are comfortable with audio transcription requests being sent to Telnyx. Review OpenClaw’s audio provider settings if you do not want Telnyx to be selected automatically.

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.
OpenClaw may use Telnyx for audio transcription without you selecting it each time after the plugin and key are configured.
The provider can be enabled and auto-selected for audio transcription. This is disclosed and central to the skill, but affects when audio may be routed to Telnyx.
"enabledByDefault": true, ... "autoPriority": { "audio": 25 }Review your OpenClaw media audio provider configuration and disable, remove, or lower Telnyx priority if you do not want automatic Telnyx routing.
The plugin can use your Telnyx account according to the permissions and billing associated with the API key.
The skill requires a Telnyx API key for provider authentication. This is expected for the Telnyx integration, and the code does not show logging or unrelated use of the key.

Use a dedicated, rotatable Telnyx API key with the minimum needed permissions, and avoid committing it to files or logs.
Voice notes, recordings, or uploaded audio selected for transcription will leave OpenClaw and be processed by Telnyx.
The runtime builds multipart form data from the audio request and sends it to the Telnyx transcription endpoint. This is the core advertised behavior, but audio content may be sensitive.
DEFAULT_TELNYX_AUDIO_BASE_URL = "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai"; ... postMultipartRequest({ url: `${baseUrl}/audio/transcriptions`, headers, body: form })Only route audio you are comfortable sending to Telnyx, review Telnyx retention/privacy terms, and keep any custom base URL or proxy configuration trusted.
