Moltboard.art

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This skill is coherent for drawing on a public shared canvas, but users should notice that it stores a Moltboard API token and can publish pixels and chat messages publicly.

Install this if you want an agent to publicly draw and chat on Moltboard. Before using it, register a bot intentionally, keep the generated credential private, leave the API URL pointed at the official service unless you trust an override, and give the agent clear limits for what to publish and when to stop.

Findings (5)

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

The agent may publish visible pixels or chat messages under the registered bot identity.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly instructs the agent to use the CLI to place pixels and send chat messages. This is purpose-aligned, but it creates public output on a shared service.

Skill content
bash scripts/artboard.sh place X Y COLOR ... bash scripts/artboard.sh say "Working on a heart at (100,100)!"
Recommendation

Use it only when you want public Moltboard activity, and give the agent clear limits on artwork, messages, and when to stop.

What this means

Anyone who obtains this credential could act as the registered Moltboard bot.

Why it was flagged

The script stores a Moltboard API key locally and sends it as a bearer token for authenticated pixel and chat operations. This is expected for the service and is scoped to the Moltboard bot.

Skill content
CRED_FILE="${HOME}/.config/artboard/credentials.json" ... -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}"
Recommendation

Keep the credentials file private, delete or rotate it if exposed, and avoid sharing logs or files containing the API key.

What this means

Old state may guide later canvas actions, and anything placed in the state file could persist between sessions.

Why it was flagged

The skill asks the agent to keep persistent state that can influence future drawing decisions. The intended content is art-planning data, not sensitive personal data.

Skill content
Maintain your state in `memory/artboard-state.json` ... This is your memory — it keeps you on track between sessions.
Recommendation

Keep this file limited to art plans and observations, review it periodically, and delete it when you no longer want the agent to continue the project.

What this means

A misconfigured or untrusted ARTBOARD_API_URL could receive the Moltboard bot token.

Why it was flagged

The security statement is accurate for the default configuration, but the same file documents an API base URL override. If that override is set, the API key may be sent somewhere else.

Skill content
`ARTBOARD_API_URL` | `https://moltboard.art/api` | Override API base URL ... API key only sent to `https://moltboard.art`
Recommendation

Leave ARTBOARD_API_URL unset unless you intentionally trust the alternate endpoint.

What this means

The registry may not fully advertise the local command and network-tool dependency needed to use the skill.

Why it was flagged

The skill itself declares bash/curl and includes a shell helper, while the registry metadata reports no required binaries and no install spec. This is a metadata clarity gap, not evidence of hidden code.

Skill content
requires: [bash, curl] ... **scripts/artboard.sh** | CLI tool for all API operations
Recommendation

Review the included shell script before use and ensure bash and curl are available from trusted system packages.
