Pipeworx bls

Access and search Bureau of Labor Statistics economic data series, fetch historical or latest employment, inflation, wages, productivity, and housing data.

Security Scan

The skill's declared purpose (querying BLS data) matches what the instructions indicate, but the runtime instructions are incomplete and the skill routes calls through a third‑party gateway (gateway.pipeworx.io), which you should be aware of before using.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim BLS access and searching. The SKILL.md provides MCP server configuration pointing to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bls/mcp, which is a plausible proxy for accessing BLS data but is a third‑party endpoint rather than the official bls.gov API. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested, so capability requests are generally proportional — however the use of a third‑party gateway should be considered by the user.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md lists functions (bls_get_series, bls_search, bls_latest, bls_popular_series) but many lines are truncated and the instructions are incomplete/vague (several sentences cut off). The file does not instruct the agent to read local files or environment variables beyond using the MCP server, so there is no obvious scope creep, but the incomplete text may lead to unclear/runtime behavior.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). This minimizes install-time risk — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportional to a public-data lookup skill. Note: because requests are routed through a third‑party MCP gateway, any query content will be sent to that endpoint even though no credentials are required.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or to modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal), but there is no additional privilege requested.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says (query BLS series), but the SKILL.md is truncated and lacks detail. Important: calls are proxied through a third‑party endpoint (gateway.pipeworx.io) — any search queries and returned data will pass through that service. If you care about privacy or trust, ask the publisher for the gateway's privacy/security information or prefer a skill that calls the official BLS API directly. Also test the skill with non-sensitive queries first to ensure it behaves as expected due to the incomplete instructions.
