OpenAI Agent SDK

WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent OpenAI Agents SDK guide, but one included example uses unsafe Python eval in an agent tool that could execute arbitrary code if run or copied.

Review the examples before running them. In particular, replace the eval-based calculator tool with a safe implementation, set API keys only through secure local configuration, pin dependencies for real projects, and be mindful of what conversation data sessions retain.

Findings (4)

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 crafted calculator input could potentially read files, run commands, or otherwise act with the permissions of the local Python process.

Why it was flagged

The agent-exposed calculator tool evaluates an expression with Python eval. Because the expression can be supplied through a model/tool call path, running or reusing this example could execute arbitrary Python code rather than only math.

Skill content
@function_tool
def calculate(expression: Annotated[str, "数学表达式"]) -> float:
    ...
    result = eval(expression)
Recommendation

Do not run or copy this calculator tool as written. Replace eval with a safe math parser, an operator allowlist, or a sandboxed evaluator before using it.

What this means

Future package versions could behave differently from what the examples assume.

Why it was flagged

The package installation is purpose-aligned and user-directed, but the dependency is not pinned to an exact reviewed version.

Skill content
packages:
  - "openai-agents>=0.1.0"
...
pip install openai-agents
uv add openai-agents
Recommendation

Install from the official package source and pin a known-good version in real projects.

What this means

Anyone who obtains the key could use the associated provider account and incur costs or access available API resources.

Why it was flagged

The skill tells users to configure an OpenAI API key, which is expected for OpenAI Agents SDK use but still grants account-level API access.

Skill content
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key-here"
Recommendation

Store the key securely, do not commit it to code, scope it where possible, and rotate it if exposed.

What this means

Sensitive information from earlier turns may be reused in later interactions if sessions are enabled or persisted.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents session-based conversation history, which is a normal SDK feature but means prior context can influence later runs.

Skill content
session = Session()
result1 = await Runner.run(agent, "问题1", session=session)
result2 = await Runner.run(agent, "问题2", session=session)  # 记住问题1的上下文
Recommendation

Avoid putting secrets into agent sessions, configure retention deliberately, and clear session history when it is no longer needed.
