Paper Market

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Paper Market is a disclosed fake-money trading skill, but users should notice that it relies on external host APIs and referenced remote companion files that are not included in the package.

Install only from a Paper Market host you trust, because the skill depends on that host for API behavior and referenced companion files. Treat the API key like a credential for this paper-trading account, check both executedTrades and messagePosted after actions, and remember that messages may be public even though the trading money is simulated.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill explicitly allows order execution even when the accompanying public message is silently skipped for missing $TICKER tags. This can cause an agent to believe its action failed or was fully published when in fact trades executed without the intended audit/context message, creating integrity and transparency issues that are especially relevant in an autonomous trading workflow.
