Gate Exchange Sub-Account

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gate-exchange-subaccount Version: 1.0.2 The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for managing Gate Exchange sub-accounts via the Gate MCP server. It includes comprehensive instructions in SKILL.md and references/mcp.md that enforce safety protocols, such as mandatory user confirmation for write operations (create, lock, unlock) and state validation. No evidence of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious prompt injection was found; the logic is strictly aligned with the stated purpose of sub-account management.

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.

ConcernHigh Confidence
ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

The agent could follow unreviewed instructions from a remote file before managing your Gate account.

Why it was flagged

The skill makes an external, mutable GitHub document authoritative before any tool use. That remote text is not included in the reviewed artifact set, yet it is given top priority for a skill that can perform financial account-management actions.

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

Only use this after verifying the remote rules yourself, or prefer a version that packages a pinned local copy of the runtime rules and does not elevate remote text above user intent.

What this means

A user or agent may underestimate that lock/unlock changes real account access and trading ability.

Why it was flagged

The lock and unlock tools are categorized as read-only even though other sections say they disable or restore login and trading. This could confuse approval boundaries for high-impact account-state changes.

Skill content
**Query Operations (Read-only)**

- cex_sa_get_sa
- cex_sa_list_sas
- cex_sa_lock_sa
- cex_sa_unlock_sa
Recommendation

Treat lock and unlock as write operations requiring explicit confirmation, and update the skill documentation so all mutation tools are clearly labeled.

What this means

If misused, the connected account authority can create sub-accounts or change whether existing sub-accounts can log in and trade.

Why it was flagged

The skill needs privileged Gate API authority to manage sub-accounts. This is expected for the stated purpose, but it is sensitive and can affect account access.

Skill content
API Key Required: Yes ... Permissions: Sa:Write ... All sub-account operations require API key authentication with main-account privileges.
Recommendation

Use the least-privileged Gate API key that supports only the needed sub-account actions, and confirm every create, lock, or unlock request before allowing it.

What this means

The safety of real API calls also depends on the external Gate MCP installation, not just this skill file.

Why it was flagged

The reviewed skill has no local code, but its actual execution depends on an external MCP server and installer skills that are not included in these artifacts.

Skill content
Requires [gate-mcp](https://github.com/gate/gate-mcp) to be installed... Install: Run installer skill for your IDE
Recommendation

Verify the Gate MCP source, installation method, and requested permissions before connecting an API key.
