Security Scan

The skill's code, runtime instructions, and requested resources are coherent with an RSS-monitoring/notification tool; nothing requested is disproportionate or clearly malicious.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (RSS monitoring + Feishu notifications) matches the included script and SKILL.md. Required dependencies (requests, feedparser), data files (~/.rss_monitor), and optional FEISHU_WEBHOOK align with the stated purpose; there are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or config paths.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructions are narrowly scoped to adding/listing/checking feeds and configuring a Feishu webhook and cron. The code only accesses the feed URLs and the optional FEISHU_WEBHOOK. One operational concern: the provided scripts/rss_monitor.py appears truncated in the manifest (main() is cut off), which may make the script non-functional as distributed — this is a quality/packaging issue rather than a security mismatch, but you should request the complete file before relying on it.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec (lowest automatic install risk). However, the skill includes a Python script and requires pip packages (requests, feedparser) that the user must install manually; this is expected but worth noting since files will run locally when invoked.

Credentials

No required credentials are declared. The only optional environment variable is FEISHU_WEBHOOK for notifications, which is appropriate for the integration. The script only uses the webhook and does not request other unrelated secrets or system credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request or claim persistent platform privileges (always=false). It writes only to its own data directory (~/.rss_monitor) and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it claims — monitor feeds and optionally post to a Feishu webhook. Before installing or running: 1) inspect and obtain the complete scripts/rss_monitor.py (the provided file appears truncated) and ensure it is the intended code; 2) only add feed URLs you trust (the script fetches and parses arbitrary feed content and will include portions of that content in notifications/history); 3) provide a Feishu webhook only if you trust the receiving group/bot; 4) install dependencies (pip install requests feedparser) in a controlled environment (virtualenv/container) and consider running initial tests with a temporary webhook to confirm behavior; 5) if you will run the script via cron, ensure the cron working directory and Python environment are correct. If you want, I can attempt to reconstruct the missing tail of the script or re-check a complete version.

Monitor RSS feeds and deliver notifications when new articles are published.

Features

• Monitor multiple RSS feeds
• Detect new articles automatically
• Send notifications to Feishu/Lark
• Schedule checks via cron
• Support for RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds

Quick Start

Add a feed to monitor

scripts/rss_monitor.py add <feed_url> [--name <friendly_name>]

Check all feeds for updates

scripts/rss_monitor.py check-all

List monitored feeds

scripts/rss_monitor.py list

Setup

Feishu Webhook (Optional)

To receive Feishu notifications:

1. Create a Feishu group
2. Add a webhook bot
3. Copy the webhook URL
4. Set environment variable:

   export FEISHU_WEBHOOK="https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/bot/v2/hook/..."
   

Cron Schedule

Add to crontab for automatic monitoring:

# Check every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * * cd /path/to/workspace && python scripts/rss_monitor.py check-all

Or use OpenClaw cron:

openclaw cron add --name "rss-monitor" --schedule "*/30 * * * *" --command "python scripts/rss_monitor.py check-all"
