OpenClaw analysis

The skill's files and runtime instructions are consistent with a DuckDuckGo-based web search tool: it requires no credentials, uses a reasonable PyPI dependency, and does not request unexpected access — however the publisher is unknown so review dependencies and run in an isolated environment if you have concerns.

VirusTotal

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: web-search Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides web search functionality using the legitimate `duckduckgo-search` library. The `SKILL.md` documentation is clear and does not contain any prompt injection attempts or instructions for malicious behavior. The `scripts/search.py` code is well-structured and primarily interacts with the DuckDuckGo API. However, the script includes a `--output` argument that allows writing search results to an arbitrary file path specified by the user. While this is a documented and plausible feature for saving results, it represents a file write capability that, if misused by a compromised or maliciously prompted agent, could lead to writing data to sensitive system locations. This constitutes a risky capability without clear malicious intent, classifying it as suspicious.
