Gate Exchange TradFi Query Skill

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

A user may install or authorize the skill thinking it cannot trade, while the active skill instructions include real trading workflows.

Why it was flagged

This conflicts with the included SKILL.md and trading reference files that list write tools for placing, amending, cancelling, modifying, and closing TradFi orders/positions. Users could reasonably believe the skill is query-only.

Skill content
**Read-only**: This skill only queries data. It does **not** place or cancel orders
Recommendation

Update the README, name, metadata, and capability declarations to clearly state trading/write capability, or split read-only query and trading skills.

What this means

If the Gate MCP is configured with a write-enabled key, the agent can place, cancel, amend, or close TradFi positions after confirmation.

Why it was flagged

Tradfi:Write is high-impact account authority that can mutate financial orders and positions. The registry requirements shown for the package list no primary credential, which under-discloses the effective permission boundary.

Skill content
API Key Required: Yes ... Permissions: Tradfi:Write
Recommendation

Declare the required credential and write scope prominently, recommend least-privilege/read-only keys for query use, and require separate opt-in for trading.

What this means

Remote rule changes could alter the agent's trading behavior without a versioned package update visible in these artifacts.

Why it was flagged

The skill delegates authoritative runtime behavior to a mutable remote file on GitHub's master branch that is not included in the reviewed artifact set.

Skill content
MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules ... highest priority ... Read [gate-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md)
Recommendation

Vendor the runtime rules into the package or pin them to an immutable commit, and do not make external content higher priority than platform and user instructions.

What this means

Confirmed actions can change real orders, positions, and potential profit or loss on the user's Gate TradFi account.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally exposes high-impact trading mutation tools. The documented confirmation and verification steps are appropriate, but users should notice the financial authority.

Skill content
Write tools ... cex_tradfi_create_tradfi_order ... cex_tradfi_update_order ... cex_tradfi_delete_order ... cex_tradfi_close_position ... Require explicit confirmation.
Recommendation

Before confirming any action, verify the symbol, side, size, price, take-profit/stop-loss, and whether the action is partial or full close.
