Free web search for OpenClaw without API keys. Uses a free search service to search the web and get results. No Brave/Perplexity API key required. Use when y...

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions match its description: a simple no-key web search wrapper that queries DuckDuckGo (with a curl fallback); it requests no credentials and has no surprising behaviors.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description say 'free web search without API keys' and the included script indeed queries DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API; required binaries/envs/configs are none, which is proportionate.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs running the provided Node script. The script uses process.argv, performs an HTTP GET to api.duckduckgo.com, formats output, and optionally runs curl as a fallback. It does not read unrelated files, environment variables, or send data to endpoints other than DuckDuckGo.

Install Mechanism

No install spec (instruction-only). There is a single small script bundled—no downloads or archive extraction. No unusual install behavior detected.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables or credentials. The script does not require secrets; it only optionally invokes the system 'curl' binary if direct fetch fails.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and is user-invocable; it does not modify other skills or system settings and does not request persistent privileges.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it claims: run a local Node script that queries DuckDuckGo and prints results. Before installing, be aware that (1) the script makes outbound HTTP requests to api.duckduckgo.com (or uses your system curl if fetch fails), so queries will leave your machine and may go through your network/proxy, (2) the script will invoke the 'curl' binary as a fallback if present, which is normal but means it executes an external program, and (3) the SKILL.md contains an external paid installation/help link (harmless but unrelated to functionality). If you require stricter controls, review or sandbox the script (or remove the curl fallback) before use.
