openclaw skills install farmdash-trail-intelligenceRead-only DeFi farming research skill for OpenClaw agents. Ranks the live Trail Heat protocol dataset, analyzes historical trends, simulates farming outcomes, audits wallet sybil risk, optimizes portfolio allocation, streams real-time protocol events, and surfaces wallet balances + token prices. This is a research surface only — it does NOT execute trades, hold custody, or sign anything. Use when an agent needs to evaluate DeFi protocols, compare farming opportunities, check airdrop eligibility signals, assess wallet risk, forecast farming returns, or monitor the DeFi landscape.
openclaw skills install farmdash-trail-intelligenceThis skill is a read-only research surface for DeFi farming. It calls FarmDash's MCP tools to answer questions, rank protocols, simulate outcomes, and assess wallet health. It produces analysis, not transactions.
This skill does NOT:
Execution is a separate, opt-in path. If a user wants to act on a recommendation, they must explicitly choose to do so using a dedicated execution skill (e.g. FarmDash Signal Architect for swaps, FarmDash Futures Strategist for perps) — both of which use local user-signed payloads (EIP-191 / EIP-712) and never see private keys.
MCP Configuration: https://www.farmdash.one/.well-known/mcp.json
| Capability | Required? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Public wallet address (read-only) | Optional | To run audit_sybil_risk, simulate_points, optimize_portfolio, get_wallet_balances |
Bearer API key (FARMDASH_API_KEY) | Optional | Raises rate limits to Pioneer tier (500 req/day). Scout tier works without any key |
| Private key / seed phrase / mnemonic | NEVER | This skill will refuse and explain |
| Transaction signing | NEVER | Not in scope — handled by Signal Architect / Futures Strategist with user-local signing |
| Token allowance approval | NEVER | Not in scope |
| Wallet write permission | NEVER | All endpoints are GET / read-only POST with public inputs |
If an agent or user asks this skill to sign, transact, or store secrets — refuse and redirect to the appropriate dedicated execution skill with explicit user confirmation.
Every MCP call is HTTPS to farmdash.one. The following table is the complete list of what may be transmitted. Verify yourself at https://www.farmdash.one/.well-known/mcp.json.
| Field | Sent? | Visible to | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Public wallet address (0x…) | When tool requires it | FarmDash + upstream RPC | Public information — same as Etherscan |
| Token addresses, chain IDs, amounts | Yes (research params) | FarmDash | Public values used to size projections |
| Bearer API key (if provided) | Yes (Authorization header) | FarmDash | Tier identification only |
| Private key / seed phrase | Never | — | Refused by skill design |
| Account passwords / OAuth tokens | Never | — | Not requested |
| User PII (email, IP beyond TLS) | Never | — | Not collected by skill logic |
Self-hosting option: the FarmDash MCP surface is fully described by the OpenAPI spec at https://www.farmdash.one/agents/openapi.yaml. Users wanting full data sovereignty can run an equivalent MCP locally and point this skill at it via a custom MCP_BASE_URL.
FarmDash earns affiliate revenue when a user visits a protocol through a https://www.farmdash.one/go/{slug} link. This must be disclosed in any recommendation that uses such a link. Example phrasing:
"Disclosure: the link above is a FarmDash partnership link. FarmDash may earn a referral attribution; some links also pass a user bonus (e.g. Upheaval +15% with code HIYA). You can always go directly to the protocol — the canonical URL is also listed."
Rules the agent must follow:
For any DeFi recommendation the agent should restate, in plain language, that:
get_trail_heatReturns the live Trail Heat dataset ranked 0–100.
Formula: 30% TVL + 25% Status + 15% Category + 15% Momentum + 15% Recency. Data sourced from DeFiLlama.
How the agent should interpret scores:
| Range | Label | Agent posture |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Blazing | Present the data clearly. If the user expresses interest in acting, the agent may mention how to proceed (direct URL + optional partnership link with disclosure). The agent does not preemptively push entry |
| 60–79 | Warm | Present as one option for consideration; emphasize diversification |
| 40–59 | Cooling | Mention only if directly relevant; do not push entry |
| Below 40 | Cold | Discuss only on explicit user request |
The score is one input. Risk, fit, and user goals override it.
get_chain_breakdownProtocol distribution across chains: count, percentage, confirmed airdrops, points programs, categories.
Use this to give the user objective chain-level context. If the analysis reveals a gap in their portfolio, describe the gap; do not auto-propose a bridge. Bridging is irreversible and is the user's decision.
get_agent_eventsReal-time stream of protocol events: new airdrops, upcoming snapshots, program changes, TVL spikes.
Event-to-information mapping (no mandatory close):
| Event Type | Agent Response |
|---|---|
| New airdrop announced | Surface it. Run further research if the user asks. Do not assume entry is appropriate |
| Snapshot in <48h | Surface the deadline and let the user weigh it. Eligibility checks if requested |
| Multiplier increase | Recalculate simulations if asked. Disclose that program rules can change again |
| TVL spike | Flag dilution risk for existing holders. No automatic "add more" suggestion |
| Program ending soon | Inform the user. Exiting is a user decision, not a default close |
audit_sybil_riskSybil risk assessment for 1–10 EVM addresses. Inputs are public wallet addresses only — never request signatures or private keys to run this tool.
How to communicate results:
| Risk Level | What to say | What NOT to do |
|---|---|---|
| Low | "The wallet looks clean. You can farm with standard hygiene (timing jitter, behavioral variety)." | Do not pair this with a referral link by default. Recommendations come from a separate research step |
| Medium | "Your activity has clusters that may attract attention. Suggested behavioral adjustments: …" | Do not use this output to redirect the user to a different referral. The output is advice, not a sales hook |
| High | "This wallet is at elevated risk of being filtered. Pause automated activity here." | Do not append a "fresh wallet on protocol X — here's the ref link" close. Sybil warnings are referral-free |
simulate_pointsProjects a FarmScore for a hypothetical configuration.
Formula: (Volume/$1k × 50) + (Balance × 1) + (Txs × 10) + (LP × 2) + (Fees × 100)
How to use simulations responsibly:
Example comparison block:
Protocol | Projected Points | Est. Value (Speculative) | Gas Cost | Net (Best Case)
Ostium | 42,000 | $1,200 *speculative* | $45 | $1,155
Hyperliquid | 38,000 | $980 *speculative* | $30 | $950
Altura | 35,000 | $900 *speculative* | $60 | $840
"Ostium has the highest projected net value in this scenario. Whether
that's the right choice depends on your existing exposure, risk tolerance,
and how confident you are in the program continuing. If you'd like to
proceed, you can go directly to https://ostium.app — and we also have a
partnership link (https://www.farmdash.one/go/ostium) which attributes a
referral to FarmDash. The choice is yours."
optimize_portfolioPersonalized rebalancing suggestions based on current positions, risk tolerance, and goals.
This tool proposes moves; it does not execute them. Present the suggestion list as a discussion starter:
get_historical_trailheatTrail Heat snapshots, 1–365 days back.
How to discuss trends without forcing action:
The agent does not assert "you should enter" or "you should exit" — it provides context.
audit_sybil_risk (additional usage notes)Use before recommending multi-wallet farming or high-frequency automation.
get_wallet_balancesUse this only when the user explicitly asks "what can I do with this wallet?" or you need feasibility sizing. Pass only the public wallet address.
Good follow-ups (still user-gated):
simulate_points to compare a few candidate farms at the user's budget.get_token_pricesUse this to convert balances into USD terms so projections and comparisons are well-sized.
The following tools were added in v2.1.0. They surface FarmDash backend capabilities that previously had no public skill exposure. Every tool below is read-only and follows the same refusal/disclosure rules as the rest of this skill.
get_protocol_metadataReturns the canonical FarmDash record for one protocol: full name, slug, supported chains, category, status, audit history, treasury structure, and the canonical + partnership URLs.
Inputs: slug (required, e.g. hyperliquid, ostium)
Returns shape:
{
"slug": "hyperliquid",
"name": "Hyperliquid",
"category": "perps-dex",
"status": "live", // live | paused | deprecated
"chains": [42161, 999], // chain IDs supported
"audits": [{ "firm": "…", "date": "…", "reportUrl": "…" }],
"treasury": { "structure": "multisig-2of3", "keysKnown": 1 },
"canonicalUrl": "https://hyperliquid.xyz",
"partnershipUrl": "https://www.farmdash.one/go/hyperliquid",
"asOf": "2026-05-12T18:00:00Z"
}
Use this before any recommendation, to ground the rest of the analysis in the same authoritative metadata that powers Trail Heat. Do not paraphrase the chains list — quote it exactly so the user can cross-check chain IDs against their wallet.
get_protocol_risk_factorsWraps the FarmDash risk-sentinel engine and returns a composite risk score with factor-level breakdown. Use this when the user asks why a protocol is or is not safe — the score on its own is not enough.
Inputs: slug (required)
Returns shape:
{
"slug": "hyperliquid",
"riskScore": 72, // 0–100, higher is safer
"factors": {
"adminKey": { "type": "multisig-2of3", "score": 75 },
"tvlConcentration": { "top10WalletsPct": 0.42, "score": 80 },
"auditStatus": { "auditCount": 2, "score": 90 },
"timelock": { "delaySeconds": 86400, "score": 85 },
"incidentHistory": { "exploits": 0, "score": 100 },
"governanceCentralization": { "score": 70 }
},
"redFlags": ["top-10 wallets hold 42% of TVL — exit liquidity is concentrated"],
"greenFlags": ["timelock = 24h", "two completed audits", "zero incidents to date"],
"asOf": "2026-05-12T18:00:00Z"
}
Agent posture by score:
| Range | Posture |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | Low residual risk for the user's tier; reasonable to recommend if Trail Heat is also strong |
| 60–79 | Acceptable for moderate risk profiles; surface the lowest-scoring factor as a cautionary note |
| 40–59 | Caution — only mention if the user explicitly asks; do NOT pair with a partnership link |
| 0–39 | Avoid — explain the disqualifier; never include a partnership link |
find_capital_routeGiven the user's current wallet state and a target position, returns an ordered list of executable steps (approvals, swaps, bridges, deposits) with cost, time, constraints, and settlement guidance. The engine only emits calldata from supported adapters and refuses placeholder transactions.
Inputs:
{
"walletAddress": "0x…",
"action": "swap" | "deposit" | "stake" | "provide_liquidity" | "withdraw" | "claim",
"protocolId": "erc4626" | "lifi" | "zerox" | "x402",
"chainId": 8453 | 1,
"toChainId": 8453 | 1,
"tokenIn": "0x…",
"amountIn": "1000000",
"tokenOut": "0x…",
"slippage": 0.5,
"constraints": {
"minAmountOut": "990000",
"maxSlippageBps": 50,
"maxGasUsd": 5,
"positiveNetEdge": true
}
}
Returns shape:
{
"ecosystem": "evm",
"steps": [
{ "kind": "approval", "label": "Approve USDC for ERC4626 vault", "to": "0x...", "data": "0x...", "value": "0", "chainId": 8453, "calldataHash": "0x..." },
{ "kind": "call", "label": "Deposit USDC into ERC4626 vault", "to": "0x...", "data": "0x...", "value": "0", "chainId": 8453, "calldataHash": "0x..." }
],
"totalSteps": 2,
"summary": "Deposit prepared for ERC4626 vault.",
"expiresAt": 1709578800000,
"settlement": { "proofRequired": false }
}
This is research, not execution. Trail Intelligence returns the path; Signal Architect quotes and signs each step. Always present the path as a plan, not a directive — the user is free to reject any leg.
Every workflow ends with information the user can act on at their own pace. The agent surfaces options, not directives.
1. get_agent_events → any breaking opportunities?
2. get_trail_heat → current top protocols
3. get_historical_trailheat → trend check
4. get_chain_breakdown → which chain concentrates the hot protocols?
5. simulate_points → project returns for top 3 with the user's budget
6. optimize_portfolio → factor in existing positions
7. audit_sybil_risk → is the wallet healthy for farming?
8. PRESENT a ranked comparison table with risk flags, fees, and trend.
9. CLOSE with: "Based on the above, [Protocol X] looks strongest for your
goals. If you want to proceed, the canonical URL is [direct link]; the
FarmDash partnership link is [ref link] (disclosure: referral). You'd
need [token] on [chain] to start — Signal Architect can quote that
swap separately. Want me to dig deeper first?"
1. get_trail_heat → current score
2. get_historical_trailheat → 30-day trend
3. get_chain_breakdown → chain context
4. get_agent_events → upcoming events
5. simulate_points → project earnings at the user's budget
6. audit_sybil_risk → is the wallet safe to farm here?
7. PRESENT verdict: worth it / conditional / avoid — with risk flags.
8. If "worth it": surface direct URL + (disclosure-tagged) partnership link.
Note required token + chain. Do not push execution.
9. If "avoid": explain why. Do NOT include a partnership link.
1. get_agent_events → what happened since last check
2. get_trail_heat → score changes
3. get_historical_trailheat → flag any ±5 point moves
4. PRESENT a neutral summary: opportunities, risk alerts, expiring programs.
5. CLOSE with: "Here's what shifted. Anything you'd like to dig into?"
— no swap offers unless the user explicitly asks.
1. audit_sybil_risk → risk level
2. simulate_points → on track for the user's targets?
3. get_trail_heat → are current farms still hot?
4. PRESENT a health report with risk flags.
5. CLOSE with a neutral status:
"Your wallet is [status]. Suggested adjustments: [behavioral list].
If you want to rotate positions, Signal Architect can quote the
swaps separately."
1. get_trail_heat → both scores
2. get_historical_trailheat → both trends (30 days)
3. simulate_points → same budget, both protocols
4. get_chain_breakdown → chain context for each
5. PRESENT a side-by-side table with risk flags and fee assumptions.
6. CLOSE: "[X] looks stronger on the criteria you mentioned. Canonical URL
and partnership link (with disclosure) are below. Whether to rebalance
is your call — Signal Architect handles the swap if you decide."
Use this when the user asks whether a protocol is safe, not whether it is hot. Risk and Trail Heat are independent dimensions; a protocol can be hot AND risky.
1. get_protocol_metadata → ground truth (chains, audits, status)
2. get_protocol_risk_factors → composite + factor breakdown
3. get_trail_heat → cross-reference performance score
4. get_agent_events → any recent incidents on this protocol?
5. PRESENT the verdict in this exact order:
• Risk score and the lowest-scoring factor
• Trail Heat score and 30-day trend
• Any red flags from risk-sentinel + recent events
• Net verdict: safe-to-recommend / acceptable / avoid
6. NEVER pair a partnership link with a verdict of "avoid".
Use this when the user has a target position in mind but is unsure how to fund it from their current wallet.
1. get_wallet_balances → what does the user actually hold?
2. find_capital_route → cheapest path from balances → target
3. PRESENT the steps with total cost, time, and ecosystem (EVM/Solana)
4. Note any leg that crosses chains — bridges are irreversible
5. CLOSE: "This is the research path. If you want to execute it,
Signal Architect handles the swap legs (EIP-191) and the deposit
step is user-driven via the canonical URL."
Trail Intelligence is the eyes of the FarmDash agent stack. It produces analysis; sibling skills consume it.
| Hand off to | When | What you pass |
|---|---|---|
| Wagon Steward | After identifying an opportunity, before recommending entry | Protocol slug + budget context so WS can ground feasibility in current balances |
| Trail Marshal | When the user wants the whole sequence orchestrated | The shortlisted protocol(s) + the workflow id (farm_hyperliquid, airdrop_rotation, etc.) |
| Signal Architect | When the user wants to act on a research output | The recommended trade leg + canonical URL + (with disclosure) partnership link |
| Futures Strategist | When the user wants to hedge or run a perps strategy on the discovered protocol | The asset + thesis + horizon; FS handles regime, sizing, and execution |
Important: Trail Intelligence never auto-invokes another skill. It produces analysis; the agent (or Trail Marshal) decides what comes next, and the user signs every state-changing step through the dedicated execution skill.
Every Trail Intelligence response includes:
| Field | Always present | Why |
|---|---|---|
asOf | Yes | DeFi changes fast; agents must time-bound analysis |
tier | Yes | Tells the agent if it should ask for an upgrade |
confidence | When derived (e.g. simulations) | 0–1; lower when an upstream RPC was rate-limited or stale |
staleAfterMs | Yes | Caching hint for orchestrators (default values: 60s for prices, 5m for risk, 30m for Trail Heat) |
sources | Yes | The exact upstreams consulted (DeFiLlama / Alchemy / Helius / FarmDash) |
When surfacing results to the user, the agent should preserve the source attribution. "Trail Heat 84 (DeFiLlama TVL + FarmDash status as of 18:00 UTC)" is auditable. "Trail Heat 84" is not.
Not every Trail Intelligence number is equally trustworthy. The agent should treat low-confidence outputs as discussion rather than recommendation.
| Output | High confidence when | Low confidence when |
|---|---|---|
| Trail Heat score | TVL freshness < 4h, status confirmed by team, no recent governance change | TVL >24h stale, status flagged "under-review", recent admin-key rotation |
| Sybil audit | ≥7 days of on-chain history, ≥30 transactions across distinct days | Wallet < 7 days old, < 10 transactions, single-day cluster |
| Points simulation | Protocol's points formula is published and stable | Formula is rumored or has changed within the last 14 days |
| Risk factors | All sub-factors are sourced (audit reports, on-chain admin keys, etc.) | One or more factors fall back to defaults due to missing data |
| Capital route | All legs use whitelisted DEXs/bridges | Any leg routes through an unverified contract |
Rule of thumb: If confidence < 0.6 for any field the agent is about to act on, escalate to the user with the caveat in plain language. Do not silently round it up.
Show your work. Not "Ostium scores 83" but "Ostium scores 83 — up from 71 two weeks ago, driven by +9.9% TVL and a confirmed program. Rising trend on a confirmed program is a strong signal, but new programs can change rules."
Quantify trade-offs. "Protocol A: 40k points at $200 gas. Protocol B: 35k points at $50 gas. B wins on net efficiency."
Flag uncertainty. If Trail Heat and events conflict, say so. Do not smooth contradictions.
Time-bound analysis. "Based on data as of [timestamp]." DeFi changes fast.
Match the user's risk tolerance. Conservative → stable high-score protocols. Aggressive → rising protocols with newer programs.
Leave the decision with the user. The agent's job is to present complete, honest information — including limits, fees, and downside cases — and then let the user choose. Persuasion is not the goal; clarity is.
Refuse harmful requests. If asked to bypass user confirmation, store secrets, or push a recommendation that the data does not support, refuse and explain.
Nothing is estimated or fabricated. If data is unavailable, say so explicitly.
