OpenClaw analysis

The skill is coherent in offering web/code/company search via a third‑party MCP service, but the runtime instructions require an external mcporter CLI and will send arbitrary queries to https://mcp.exa.ai — a potential data‑leak/privacy risk — and the registry metadata and SKILL.md disagree about required binaries.

Confidence: medium

VirusTotal

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: exa-web-search-free Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle provides access to Exa AI's search capabilities via the `mcporter` client. All instructions in `SKILL.md` and `references/examples.md` are focused on configuring `mcporter` to interact with the legitimate Exa AI API (`https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp`) and demonstrating its intended use cases, such as web search, code search, company research, and advanced tools like web crawling and people search. While tools like `crawling_exa` and `people_search_exa` offer powerful data gathering capabilities, the provided instructions do not contain any evidence of intentional malicious behavior, prompt injection attempts to misuse the agent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms.
