openai-tts-api

USE THIS for openai tts api. OpenAI text-to-speech. 0% markup, 648+ APIs, one key. Powered by SkillBoss.

Security Scan

The skill is coherent as a SkillBoss proxy for OpenAI-style TTS, but it asks for a single SkillBoss API key that unlocks a very broad set of services (648+ APIs) while the skill's name/description present it as a narrow 'OpenAI TTS' helper — this mismatch and the broad capability of that one key merit caution.

Purpose & Capability

The skill claims to provide OpenAI TTS access and requires only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is consistent if SkillBoss is acting as a proxy. However, the documentation repeatedly advertises access to 648+ APIs (chat, image, scraping, social data, etc.), so the skill's name ('openai-tts-api') understates the real breadth of capability available with the single key.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md directs the agent to call https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run with the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and to 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' which is vague and may cause the agent to register or send config to the SkillBoss service. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files or unrelated env vars, but they do encourage using one key to access many different API families (including scrapers and social-data endpoints) — that broad scope is outside what a user would reasonably expect from a TTS-only skill.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files: instruction-only skill. Low risk from local installation or downloaded binaries because nothing is written to disk by the skill package itself.

Credentials

It requests a single env var SKILLBOSS_API_KEY as the primary credential, which is expected for a proxy service. But that single credential grants access to many APIs (chat, image, scraping, social data, etc.), a scope disproportionate to a narrowly named 'OpenAI TTS' skill. A single compromised key or accidental use could lead to broad data access or unexpected billing.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true, has no install step that modifies agent/system-wide configs, and is not requesting elevated persistence. Note: the platform default allows autonomous invocation; combined with the broad API access from one key this increases potential impact if the agent calls endpoints without user oversight.

What to consider before installing

This skill is an instruction-only wrapper around the SkillBoss API and asks for a single SKILLBOSS_API_KEY — that key appears to grant access to many APIs beyond TTS (scrapers, social data, chat, images). Before installing: 1) Confirm you trust SkillBoss (privacy, data retention, and billing) and verify the 0% markup claim independently. 2) Consider using a provider-native OpenAI key or creating a limited-scope key/account for SkillBoss so the key can't be used for unrelated scraping or social-data requests. 3) Monitor and cap usage/billing, rotate the key if needed, and avoid sending sensitive data to the proxy. 4) If you expect only TTS, ask the skill author to document and limit which SkillBoss endpoints the agent may call (or require an explicit allowlist) to reduce surprise. If you want more assurance, request a version that exposes only the narrow TTS endpoints rather than one key that unlocks 648+ APIs.
