high confidenceCredentials
Outbound requests carry search queries and optional region and SafeSearch settings to a fixed DuckDuckGo HTTPS endpoint. No credential, browser-profile, or private-file access appears in the bundled code.
Install Mechanism
Uses the documented OpenClaw plugin installation mechanism and declares bundled JavaScript runtime entries. No install scripts are declared.
Instruction Scope
Search runs through tool calls with scoped parameters; returned titles and snippets are wrapped as untrusted external content.
Persistence & Privilege
Uses an in-memory search cache with TTL handling. No background workers, persistent data writes, privilege escalation, or unrelated mutations appear in the bundled code.
Purpose & Capability
Registers a web-search provider that sends queries to DuckDuckGo and returns titles, URLs, and snippets.
Assessment
Search queries are sent to DuckDuckGo, so avoid including secrets. The linked [OpenClaw documentation](https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/duckduckgo-search) describes this as an experimental HTML-based integration that may encounter CAPTCHAs or break when page layouts change. SkillSpector was not applicable because the package contains no bundled skills; this verdict follows inspection of the plugin code.Verification
