Gate DEX Market

Pure Routing Layer — READ-ONLY data queries only. Never executes transactions. All specifications in references/.

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

Trigger Scenarios: Use when the user wants to look up or analyze market data without executing any transaction:

• Price lookup: "what is the price of ETH", "check SOL price", "price of 0x1234..."
• Charts: "show K-line", "candlestick chart", "price trend"
• Rankings: "top gainers", "trending tokens", "token rankings"
• Security: "is this token safe", "security audit", "honeypot check", "risk analysis"
• Discovery: "new tokens", "newly listed", "holder analysis", "whale tracking"
• Volume: "trading volume", "buy-sell pressure", "liquidity events"

MCP Dependencies

Required MCP Servers

MCP Server	Status
Gate-Dex	✅ Required

MCP Tools Used

Query Operations (Read-only)

• dex_market_get_kline
• dex_token_get_coin_info
• dex_token_ranking
• dex_token_get_risk_info
• dex_token_list_swap_tokens
• dex_token_list_cross_chain_bridge_tokens

Authentication

• API Key Required: No for MCP market queries
• OAuth mcp_token Required: No for MCP market queries
• Note: This skill is read-only. In MCP mode, market-data tools can be called without authentication. OpenAPI mode has its own credential model and is only used when the user explicitly requests it.

Installation Check

• Required: Gate-Dex
• Install: Run installer skill for your IDE
  • Cursor: gate-mcp-cursor-installer
  • Codex: gate-mcp-codex-installer
  • Claude: gate-mcp-claude-installer
  • OpenClaw: gate-mcp-openclaw-installer

Project convention — MCP only

No OpenAPI unless user explicitly asks. MCP setup: see gate-dex-trade/references/setup.md.

---

NOT this skill (common misroutes):

• "quote for swapping X to Y" → gate-dex-trade (swap execution)
• "check my balance" → gate-dex-wallet (account query)
• "buy ETH" / "sell USDT" → gate-dex-trade (transaction execution)

Routing Flow

User triggers market data query
  |
Step 1: OpenAPI only if user explicitly asks. Else MCP only.
Step 2: MCP discovery → success = MCP mode; fail = MCP setup guide (no OpenAPI fallback).

Mode Dispatch

MCP Mode

Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, execute according to its complete workflow.

Includes: connection detection, 6 market data tools (dex_market_get_kline, dex_token_get_coin_info, dex_token_ranking, dex_token_get_risk_info, dex_token_list_swap_tokens, dex_token_list_cross_chain_bridge_tokens), no authentication required for market queries.

OpenAPI Mode (Progressive Loading)

Explicit user request only. Load files progressively:

1. Always load first: references/openapi/_shared.md — env detection, credentials, API call method (via helper script)
2. Then load based on query type:

Query Type	Load File
Token info, rankings, new tokens, security, holders	openapi/token-data.md
Volume stats, K-line, liquidity events	openapi/market-data.md

Legacy monolithic file preserved at references/openapi.md for backward compatibility.

---

Supported Chains

Actual supported chains are determined by runtime API/Resource returns:

• MCP Mode: determined by MCP tool responses for the given chain argument
• OpenAPI Mode: chain parameter in request

Common chains: eth, bsc, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, avax, base, sol.

Security Rules

1. Data objectivity: Present prices and rankings objectively, no investment advice
2. Risk warnings: Clearly remind users to judge investment risks themselves when showing security audits
3. Credential security: Follow §3 of gate-runtime-rules.md for auth/credential handling
4. Read-only: All operations are data queries, no on-chain write operations
