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 <name>"
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:
- Confirmation before downloading
- 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.
Agent Tiers
| Tier | Authentication | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Free | None | Available for immediate download after confirmation |
| Paid | API key | Requires purchase and dashboard API key |
Paid agents require a dashboard API key in the format:
ak_xxxxxxxx
The API key is used only to authorize downloads and must never be included in prompts or shared publicly.
Marketplace API
List agents:
curl -s https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents
Search agents:
curl -s "https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents?search=<query>"
Get agent details:
curl -s https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>
Installation Workflow
Step 1 — Ask user confirmation
Install <agent name>? (yes/no)
Step 2 — Request download metadata
Free agent:
curl -s https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>/download
Paid agent:
curl -s -H "x-api-key: ak_xxxx" https://api.agentplace.sh/marketplace/agents/<agent-id>/download
Example response:
{ "download_url": "https://cdn.agentplace.sh/agents/example.zip", "version": "1.0.0", "tier": "free" }
Step 3 — Download agent package
curl -sL "$download_url" -o /tmp/agent.zip
Step 4 — Preview contents
zipinfo -1 /tmp/agent.zip
unzip -p /tmp/agent.zip SKILL.md > /tmp/agent-SKILL.md cat /tmp/agent-SKILL.md
Step 5 — Final confirmation
Install this agent now? (yes/no)
Step 6 — Install locally
unzip -qo /tmp/agent.zip -d /tmp/agent-preview/ mv /tmp/agent-preview ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/<agent-id>/ rm /tmp/agent.zip
Integrity and Safety
