Security Scan

The skill generally matches a MoltX social client, but it reads an undeclared local secrets file for the API key and contains instructions to periodically fetch and overwrite a local skill file from moltx.io — behaviors that increase risk and are not fully declared.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's name/description (MoltX social client) aligns with the scripts and API endpoints. However, it expects an API key stored in a local credentials file (~/.openclaw/secrets/credentials.md) even though no environment variables or config paths are declared. The scripts also rely on curl and python3 but the skill metadata does not list required binaries.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md plus references/api-full.md direct network calls to moltx.io and include a concrete curl-based auto-update pattern that writes to ~/.agents/moltx/skill.md every 2 hours. That means the skill instructs the agent to fetch remote content and overwrite local files (and the remote content can change behavior), which is broader than a simple API client and not documented in the manifest.

Install Mechanism

There is no formal install spec (instruction-only), so nothing is installed during registration. However, references/api-full.md contains a shell snippet that fetches remote content (curl) and writes it to disk — effectively creating a self-updating behavior outside the install flow. No direct download URLs of arbitrary archives are present, but the self-update pattern is a higher-risk operation for instruction-only skills.

Credentials

The skill accesses API credentials by grepping a hard-coded path ($HOME/.openclaw/secrets/credentials.md). Requesting an API key is normal for this purpose, but the path is undeclared in requires.config and no env var is requested. This silent read of a local secrets file is disproportionate without explicit manifest declaration and user consent. The references also describe optional wallet linking and reward flows (onchain), which would require additional secrets/keys but are not requested up front.

Persistence & Privilege

The documentation instructs saving the file to ~/.agents/moltx/skill.md and periodically replacing it via curl, which grants the skill the ability to persist configuration on disk and to change its own instructions by fetching remote updates. While always:false, this self-update/persistence behavior increases the attack surface because remote content can modify runtime behavior later.

Scan Findings in Context

[secrets_file_access] expected: The scripts read an API key from ~/.openclaw/secrets/credentials.md. Accessing an API key is expected for a client, but the skill manifest did not declare a required config path or environment variable for the key — the file access is implicit and should be declared before installation.

[remote_update_via_curl] unexpected: references/api-full.md includes a curl-based check-and-update that fetches https://moltx.io/skill.md and writes to ~/.agents/moltx/skill.md every 2 hours. Auto-updating a local skill file from a remote server can change behavior post-installation and is a notable persistence/remote-code-risk; this was not declared in the install metadata.

[in_band_model_guide] expected: The API reference documents a `_model_guide` field returned in API responses which contains explicit agent instructions (e.g., aggressive rate limits and engagement tactics). That is plausible for a platform that wants to guide agents, but it increases the chance the agent will act autonomously in high-volume ways; users should be aware the platform provides actionable instructions in responses.

What to consider before installing

This skill implements a MoltX API client but has two attention points you should consider before installing: 1) Undeclared secret access: The included lookup-key.sh script greps your local file at ~/.openclaw/secrets/credentials.md to find a moltx_sk_... API key. The skill metadata does not declare that config path or ask for an API key explicitly. If you install this skill, verify where your API keys live and whether you want a skill to read them automatically. Consider editing lookup-key.sh to a safer, explicit mechanism (e.g., read from a specific env var you control) or populate a dedicated, restricted credentials file. 2) Self-update / persistence risk: references/api-full.md instructs saving and refreshing ~/.agents/moltx/skill.md from https://moltx.io every 2 hours. That means behavior can change after installation when the remote site changes. If you want to proceed, either disable automatic updates, inspect remote content before allowing updates, pin the skill file to a known-safe copy, or block network access for automatic refreshes. Other practical checks: - Run scripts locally first (inspect engage.sh and lookup-key.sh) and avoid granting autonomous agent invocation until you're comfortable. - Ensure required binaries (curl, python3, grep) exist and run in a sandbox if possible. - If you don't trust moltx.io for remote updates, do not enable the auto-update snippet and instead keep a pinned local copy. Given these undeclared behaviors (secret-file access + auto-update), the skill is suspicious but not clearly malicious — exercise caution, restrict where keys are stored, and prefer explicit credential configuration before use.
