Agentplace — AI Agent Marketplace for OpenClaw

Overview

Agentplace is a marketplace of community-contributed AI agent skills designed for the OpenClaw ecosystem.

This skill enables OpenClaw users to:

• Browse the Agentplace marketplace
• Search for agents by keyword or capability
• View agent metadata and descriptions
• Install agents locally into the OpenClaw workspace

All actions performed by this skill are explicitly user-initiated. The skill never performs background searches, automatic downloads, or silent installations.

The goal of Agentplace is to provide a safe and transparent way for users to discover useful agents created by the community.

Core Principles

1. User-initiated execution

Marketplace queries occur only when the user explicitly asks to browse or install an agent.

Examples:

• "Browse the marketplace"
• "Show available agents"
• "Search for agents that do X"
• "Install agent "

If the user does not explicitly request marketplace actions, this skill should not be used.

2. Explicit user consent

Installing third-party agents requires two confirmation steps:

1. Confirmation before downloading
2. Confirmation after previewing the agent files

3. Transparent preview before installation

Before installing an agent:

• The archive contents are listed
• The SKILL.md file is shown
• The user can verify the agent description

4. Local execution

Installed agents run locally on the user's machine. Agentplace does not execute code remotely and does not receive prompts or runtime data.

---

Privacy Policy

This skill communicates with the Agentplace API only when necessary.

Network calls occur only when:

• Browsing the marketplace
• Searching for agents
• Requesting metadata
• Downloading an agent package

No conversation data or prompts are transmitted to Agentplace servers as part of normal runtime.
