Pipeworx swisstransport

Provides real-time Swiss public transport info including station search, route planning with schedules, and live departure boards for trains, buses, and trams.

Security Scan

Instruction-only skill that calls a third-party API (gateway.pipeworx.io) to provide Swiss public-transport data; the requests and requirements match the stated purpose but the skill has no published source or documentation to verify the external service.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (Swiss transport queries) match the instructions: the SKILL.md shows JSON-RPC/curl calls to an API that returns station, connections, and stationboard data. No unrelated binaries or env vars are requested.

Instruction Scope

The instructions are narrowly scoped to calling the external endpoint (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swisstransport/mcp) for transport data; they do not direct reading local files or extra environment variables. However, using the skill will send user queries and possibly conversation content to a third-party gateway.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk and no packages are pulled. This is low risk from an install standpoint.

Credentials

The skill requests no credentials or env variables (proportionate). Be aware that because there is no auth, queries (including potentially sensitive location or planning queries) are sent to an external service without a clear privacy policy or owner listed.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and autonomous invocation is the platform default. The skill does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills/config; however, an agent invoking it will contact an external server when used.

Assessment

This skill is coherent with its described purpose and doesn't install code or ask for secrets — it simply forwards queries to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swisstransport/mcp. Before installing, consider whether you trust that external endpoint: the skill has no published source or homepage to verify the maintainer or privacy practices. Avoid sending sensitive or private information through it, test with harmless queries first, and prefer skills backed by official APIs (SBB or known open-data endpoints) if you need strong provenance. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher for source code or a privacy policy, or run traffic through a network monitor to inspect what is sent.

Swiss Transport

Real-time Swiss public transport data: train, bus, and tram schedules from SBB and regional operators.

search_stations

Find stations by name. Returns station ID, name, and coordinates.

get_connections

Route planning between two locations. Returns departure/arrival times, duration, number of transfers, platform numbers, delays, and a breakdown of each journey section (which train/bus, intermediate stops).

get_stationboard

Live departure board for any station. Shows the next departures with line name, category, destination, platform, and delay information.

Example: Zurich to Bern connections

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swisstransport/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_connections","arguments":{"from":"Zurich HB","to":"Bern","limit":3}}}'

Example: departures from Geneva

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swisstransport/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_stationboard","arguments":{"station":"Geneve","limit":5}}}'
