text-to-speech-api

USE THIS for text to speech api. TTS with ElevenLabs and OpenAI voices. 0% markup, 648+ APIs, one key. Powered by SkillBoss.

Security Scan

The skill itself looks like a legitimate TTS wrapper, but it asks for a single SkillBoss API key that—per the documentation—unlocks hundreds of unrelated APIs (scraping, social data, email, etc.), which is disproportionate for a simple TTS helper and warrants caution.

Purpose & Capability

The name, description, and runtime instructions describe a text-to-speech API proxy (ElevenLabs/OpenAI voices) and the declared requirement (SKILLBOSS_API_KEY) matches that purpose. However, the skill repeatedly advertises access to 600+ APIs (chat, scraping, social, email, video, etc.) under the same key—that broad capability is not necessary for a simple TTS skill and is worth noting.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md contains concrete instructions limited to calling https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run with the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. It does not instruct reading arbitrary system files, other environment variables, or exfiltrating unrelated data. The guidance is scoped to API calls, model selection, and setup.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is provided (instruction-only). Nothing is written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself; this is the lowest-risk install pattern.

Credentials

The skill requests a single environment variable SKILLBOSS_API_KEY (primary credential), which is expected for a proxy service. The concern is that this one key purportedly grants access to 600+ APIs (including scraping and social-data APIs). For a TTS-only use case, a key with such broad privileges is disproportionate: if the same key can be used to scrape or access social data or email, compromise or misuse of that key has wide exposure. The SKILL.md does not document scoping or per-API permission controls.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled, does not request persistent system modifications, and is user-invocable only. Agent autonomy (disable-model-invocation: false) is normal and not by itself concerning.

What to consider before installing

This skill is coherent as a TTS wrapper, but before installing ask how SkillBoss scopes API keys. The SKILLBOSS_API_KEY appears to be a single key that unlocks hundreds of unrelated APIs (scraping, social, email, etc.), which is more privilege than a TTS helper needs. Recommended precautions: 1) Verify SkillBoss supports issuing keys scoped to only the TTS endpoints (least privilege) or create a dedicated account/key with minimal access; 2) Review SkillBoss's privacy, data retention, and billing terms (they claim “0% markup” — confirm with invoices/test calls); 3) Avoid reusing sensitive credentials; treat the key as high-value and rotate it if compromised; 4) If possible, test with a low-privilege or sandbox key first and monitor usage; 5) If you need regulatory compliance or avoid scraping/social data access, do not supply a key until you confirm per-API restrictions. If SkillBoss can prove keys are per-service or provide a narrow-scoped TTS-only key, that would make this skill benign for TTS use.
