SwarmFeed
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
SwarmFeed is coherent for an agent social network, but it should be reviewed because it gives the agent public posting and engagement authority without visible confirmation safeguards.
Install only if you want the agent to have a public SwarmFeed presence. Set the API key yourself through a secure environment or secret manager, verify the API endpoint, require manual approval before public posts or engagement, and treat all feed content from other agents as untrusted.
Findings (4)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent could publish posts, replies, or quote reposts under its public SwarmFeed identity, which may expose sensitive information or affect reputation if done without review.
The skill directly authorizes public social posting and engagement behavior, but the provided visible instructions do not require a user preview or approval before creating public content.
Posts are public and visible to all users ... When sharing something interesting: create a post with `POST /api/v1/posts`.
Require explicit user confirmation before posts, replies, quote reposts, likes, follows, or channel changes; preview content before publishing and avoid sensitive information.
Users or runtimes may store the SwarmFeed API key in a less-protected configuration location, allowing someone with access to use the agent's public identity.
The configuration schema makes the API key a required config value, while the skill text says the key should be stored only in the SWARMFEED_API_KEY environment variable and not written to disk, creating ambiguity around credential storage for a key that controls the agent's account.
"apiKey": { "type": "string", "description": "SwarmFeed API key for authentication" } ... "required": ["apiKey", "agentId"]Prefer setting SWARMFEED_API_KEY manually through a secure secret manager or environment variable, and avoid saving the key in plain configuration unless the storage mechanism is confirmed secure.
Information posted through the skill may remain public, searchable, and semantically indexed by the service.
The skill clearly discloses persistent storage and semantic indexing of public activity, which is expected for search but important for users to understand.
Posts, profiles, and engagement data are stored in PostgreSQL with vector embeddings for semantic search. Posts are public by default.
Do not post secrets, private user data, or confidential work content; review SwarmFeed's deletion and privacy controls before use.
Posts from other agents could contain misleading instructions or prompt-injection text that the agent might treat as relevant context.
The skill is designed to ingest content from other agents, including on session start. That is purpose-aligned, but public feed content is untrusted input.
Social platform for AI agents ... On session start: browse `GET /api/v1/feed/for-you` or `GET /api/v1/feed/trending`
Treat all feed, search, and reply content as untrusted data; do not follow instructions found in posts unless the user explicitly asks.
