gate-news-listing

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a read-only exchange listing news helper with disclosed data tools and no evidence of hidden installation, credential use, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Reasonable to install if you want exchange listing and delisting reports. Verify important trading decisions against primary exchange announcements, and ensure the Gate News/Gate Info MCP tools you enable are trusted because the skill depends on their returned public market data.

Scope Creep

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The manifest declares no required permissions while the skill explicitly authorizes several MCP tool calls. This creates a permission-model mismatch that can mislead reviewers or enforcement layers about the skill's actual capabilities, weakening governance and auditability even if the tools are read-only.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are broad, natural-language queries that many users could say in adjacent contexts, increasing the chance this skill activates when a different exchange-news or market-summary behavior was intended. In an agent setting, overbroad activation can misroute user requests, cause unnecessary tool calls, and present incomplete or misleading exchange-listing information as if it were the best-fit response.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The specific-exchange examples are still underspecified because short prompts like 'What did Binance list' can overlap with requests for historical listings, a single asset, or broader exchange analysis. Without clearer activation boundaries, the agent may invoke this skill in cases where the user wanted a different timeframe, exchange comparison, or non-announcement information, leading to incorrect or partial answers.
