Automated summary

Allows an AI assistant to initiate and manage outgoing phone calls via the TelnyxOpenClaw API.

Strengths

Simple integration with a single POST request
Automatic handling of introduction and conversation flow
Support for conversational mode with DTMF interruption

Limitations

Requires a local server and prior configuration (URL, .env)
Does not handle incoming calls or SMS
Dependent on network quality and Telnyx service

When to use it

When you need to contact a user by phone for reminders, urgent notifications, or automated follow-ups.

When not to use it

For purely text-based or asynchronous interactions, or when the user has not consented to being called.

Security analysis

Caution

Quality score85/100

The skill instructs the AI to make POST requests to a local API for placing phone calls. While the API itself may be legitimate, it introduces a network action that could be abused if the AI is tricked into calling arbitrary numbers or sending crafted tasks.

Findings

•Involves sending network requests to a local server, which could be manipulated to initiate unauthorized calls.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Call user for appointment reminder

Initiate a phone call to +1234567890 with the task: Remind the user about their dentist appointment tomorrow at 10 AM.

Call default number for urgent notification

Call the default number with task: Notify the user that their order has been shipped and provide tracking details.

Telnyx Outgoing Call Skill

Name: Telnyx Outgoing Call Skill
Author: Skills Guide Bot

This skill allows an AI assistant to initiate phone calls to users and carry out specific tasks via a telephone interface.

Capabilities

Initiate a phone call to a specific number.
Provide a task that the call AI will use to introduce itself.
Automatically handle the transition from the task introduction to a back-and-forth conversation.

API Documentation

BASE URL: http://localhost:3023 (may differ)

POST `/call`

Initiates an outgoing call.

Request Body:

{
  "task": "The specific reason for the call (e.g., 'Remind the user about their dentist appointment')",
  "to": "+1234567890" (optional, defaults to DEFAULT_TO_NUMBER in .env)
}

Workflow for the AI:

Identify Need: When you need to contact a user via phone (e.g., for a reminder, urgent notification, or follow-up).
Formulate Task: Write a concise task description. The call AI will use this to generate its own greeting.
Execute: Send a POST request to the /call endpoint.

How it works internally

The server receives the task.
An LLM generates a friendly, task-specific intro (e.g., "Hello, I'm calling to remind you about...").
The call is placed via Telnyx.
When answered, the intro is played.
The system then enters a recording loop, allowing for a natural conversation.
The user can press any key (DTMF) to stop a recording and force the AI to respond immediately.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/download' --output '.skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/telnyx-outgoing-call-skill-mrx3y0s5/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
