Issue

The sendgrid-skills skill has been flagged on ClawHub. I believe this is incorrect and request a review.

Skill Description

SendGrid Skills provides OpenClaw agent skills for sending and receiving emails via the SendGrid API. The skill includes:

  • send-email sub-skill: Send transactional emails via SendGrid v3 Mail Send API
  • sendgrid-inbound sub-skill: Receive inbound emails via SendGrid Inbound Parse Webhook
  • Automation scripts: Helper scripts for testing and validation

Why This Should Not Be Flagged

  1. Legitimate Use Case: SendGrid is a well-known, legitimate email service provider (owned by Twilio)
  2. Transparent Functionality: All code is open source and clearly documented
  3. No Malicious Behavior: The skill simply wraps the SendGrid API for email sending/receiving
  4. Security Best Practices: Includes authentication validation, error handling, and security guidelines
  5. Published Versions: Has been published and used without issues (v1.0.0, v1.1.0)

Skill Metadata

The skill properly declares its requirements in SKILL.md frontmatter:

  • Environment variables: SENDGRID_API_KEY (required for SendGrid API)
  • Binaries: curl (for HTTP requests), jq (for JSON processing in scripts)
  • No system access: Only makes external HTTP calls to SendGrid API
  • No file system writes: Except optional script execution

Recent Updates

The v1.2.0 update (currently blocked from publishing due to this flag) adds:

  • send-html-email.sh script for HTML email support
  • Improved JSON escaping via jq
  • Better error handling

All changes are visible in the GitHub repository and follow OpenClaw skill best practices.

Scanners

If scanners were run, I'd expect:

  • VirusTotal: Benign (standard SendGrid API wrapper)
  • OpenClaw verdict: Benign (no malicious patterns)

Request

Please review the sendgrid-skills skill and unflag it. The skill provides legitimate email functionality via a trusted provider (SendGrid/Twilio) and follows all OpenClaw skill guidelines.

Thank you for your time.
