Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    The skill uses OpenClaw web_search/web_fetch against external web providers and URLs.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    It can ingest user-provided research topics and read prior memory context during synthesis.

  • Action surface: Read

    The workflow emphasizes searching, fetching, and analysis/reporting rather than modifying outside systems.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use least-privilege search provider keys and rotate them regularly.
  • Avoid researching with sensitive internal identifiers in raw prompts.
  • Review cited sources before sharing conclusions as final decisions.

Max-risk rule

If any capability reaches a higher level, the entire indicator level bumps up to keep ratings deterministic and easy to scan.
