Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gate-news-event-explain Version: 1.0.4 The gate-news-event-explain skill is designed to analyze and explain cryptocurrency market volatility by cross-referencing news events with market and on-chain data. It utilizes read-only MCP tools (Gate-News and Gate-Info) and follows a structured workflow to generate attribution reports. The skill includes comprehensive safety rules, such as avoiding financial advice and acknowledging uncertainty. While documentation in SKILL.md and CHANGELOG.md mentions maintenance scripts for updating the skill, these are described as requiring user consent and being restricted to the skill's own directory, which is consistent with standard plugin 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.

What this means

The agent may call Gate News/Gate Info data tools to answer price-move questions, but the artifacts do not show account changes, trading, or credential use.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on external MCP tools, but the documented tools are read-only and directly support the event-explanation workflow.

MCP Tools Used ... Query Operations (Read-only) ... info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot ... info_onchain_get_token_onchain ... news_events_get_event_detail ... news_feed_search_news
Recommendation

Use it only with a trusted Gate MCP server and remember that the result is explanatory market context, not an instruction to trade.

What this means

If those local shared files or scripts exist in your environment, they can influence how the agent runs this skill or update the local skill copy after approval.

Why it was flagged

The skill references shared runtime rule files and optional update scripts that are not included in the listed bundle. The update path is described as optional, repository-only, user-approved, and scoped to the skill directory, which keeps this as a notice rather than a material concern.

Skill content
Read `../gate-runtime-rules.md` ... Also read `../info-news-runtime-rules.md` ... If `scripts/update-skill.*` exists ... Ask the user before `apply`.
Recommendation

Review any local shared runtime files or repository update scripts before relying on them, and do not approve an update unless you trust its source.
