Gate CrossEx Cross-Exchange Trading

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The agent may rely on external instructions that were not packaged with the skill and could change after installation.

Why it was flagged

The skill makes a mutable external document authoritative over execution. Because this skill can place trades and transfer funds, unreviewed changes to that remote instruction source could materially change agent behavior.

Skill content
STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding... These rules have the highest priority. → Read [gate-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md)
Recommendation

Use only a pinned or packaged copy of the runtime rules, and do not allow remote instructions to override local safety gates or user confirmation requirements.

What this means

A confirmed action can change real exchange positions, funds, or risk exposure.

Why it was flagged

These MCP tools can create/cancel/update orders, transfer funds, convert assets, and change leverage. The same document requires explicit confirmation for mutations, so this is disclosed and purpose-aligned but high impact.

Skill content
Write tools - cex_crx_create_crx_order ... cex_crx_cancel_crx_order ... cex_crx_create_crx_transfer ... cex_crx_update_crx_positions_leverage
Recommendation

Before confirming, verify exchange, symbol, side, quantity, price, leverage, and transfer destination/account scope.

What this means

The configured API key can authorize real trading and account changes through the MCP server.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires delegated account authority with CrossEx write permissions. That is expected for trading, but it is sensitive financial privilege and the registry metadata lists no primary credential.

Skill content
Authentication - API Key Required: Yes ... Permissions: Crx:Write
Recommendation

Use the least-privileged API key possible, keep secrets out of chat, and consider using a small test allocation as the README suggests.

What this means

Security also depends on the separate MCP installer and configuration used outside this package.

Why it was flagged

The artifact has no install spec, but its setup instructions depend on separate installer skills and MCP configuration not included in the reviewed package. This appears user-directed and purpose-aligned, but provenance should be checked.

Skill content
Install: Run installer skill for your IDE - Cursor: `gate-mcp-cursor-installer` ... OpenClaw: `gate-mcp-openclaw-installer`
Recommendation

Install the MCP server only from a trusted source and verify the API key permissions configured there.
