Gate Exchange Dual Investment

Gate dual investment skill. Use when the user asks about dual currency products, target price settlement, or placing dual orders. Triggers on 'dual investmen...

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions are consistent with its stated purpose (querying and placing Gate dual-investment products via a local MCP); required API keys and the Earn:Write permission match the functionality and nothing in the bundle appears disproportionate or unrelated.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (Gate dual investment) align with the declared MCP tools and required env vars. The skill only needs GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET and documents use of cex_earn_list_* and cex_earn_place_dual_order; requiring Earn:Write for order placement is appropriate for a trade/order placement skill.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and references confine actions to the documented MCP tools, require explicit user confirmation before any write (place order) action, and explicitly forbid asking users to paste secrets into chat. The instructions do ask for strict pagination and transformation rules (e.g. multiply APY ×100, omit timestamps) — unusual but internally consistent and not over-broad. No instructions read unrelated host files or contact endpoints outside the MCP tooling.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill (no install spec, no code files). This is lowest-risk from an install/execution standpoint — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the bundle itself.

Credentials

The skill requests only GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET (primaryEnv GATE_API_KEY), which is proportional to interacting with an exchange API. Note: Earn:Write is a high-privilege permission because it allows placing orders — that's necessary for the advertised functionality but users should ensure the API key's scope and account exposure are acceptable.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and no install/persistence actions are declared. The bundle's runtime rules state it does not store or paste secrets. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default), but this skill does not request permanent 'always' presence or to modify other skills/configs.

Scan Findings in Context

[NO_CODE_FILES] expected: The bundle is instruction-only so the regex-based scanner had no code to analyze; absence of findings is expected for this type of skill.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: querying dual-investment products and (with explicit confirmation) placing dual orders via your local Gate MCP. Before installing: 1) Ensure you only provide API keys via your trusted MCP configuration (do not paste keys in chat). 2) Prefer using API keys scoped as narrowly as the platform allows; be aware Earn:Write permits placing orders and can move funds. 3) Test in read-only/query mode first to verify behavior. 4) Confirm the local MCP deployment (and any installer tools you run) is trusted. 5) Remember the financial risks: the skill itself already includes a non-investment-advice disclaimer, but placing orders can result in loss — only proceed if you understand and accept that risk.

Execution

1. Identify user intent from the Routing Rules table above.
2. For Cases 1–6, 11–12: Read the corresponding sub-module document in references/ and follow the Workflow.
3. For Cases 7–10: Read references/subscription.md and follow the order placement Workflow.
4. For Cases 15, 17: Read references/subscription.md and follow the compliance handling Workflow. These cases are triggered by cex_earn_place_dual_order error responses or by the user asking about region restrictions.
5. For Cases 13–14: Answer directly using Domain Knowledge below (no API call needed).
6. If the user's intent is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question before routing.

Domain Knowledge

Core Concepts

• Sell High (Call): User invests crypto, target price above current price. If settlement price ≥ target price → receive USDT (principal × target price × (1 + interest)); if settlement price < target price → get back crypto + interest.
• Buy Low (Put): User invests stablecoins, target price below current price. If settlement price ≤ target price → receive crypto; if settlement price > target price → get back USDT + interest.
• Target Price: The price that determines settlement outcome at delivery. Gate official term.
• Settlement Price: Market price of the underlying asset at delivery time, compared against target price.
• Interest-guaranteed, not principal-protected: Principal + interest are always received, but the settlement currency may change due to price movement.
• The closer the target price is to the current price, the higher the APY, but also the higher the probability of currency conversion.
• Once placed, dual investment orders cannot be cancelled. Settlement is automatic at delivery time.
• Order type derivation: cex_earn_list_dual_orders has NO type field. Derive from invest_currency: crypto (BTC, ETH...) → Sell High (Call); stablecoin (USDT) → Buy Low (Put). Filter by coin using invest_currency or exercise_currency — there is NO instrument_name.
• Order status values: INIT (Pending), PROCESSING (In Position), SETTLEMENT_SUCCESS (Settled), SETTLEMENT_PROCESSING (Settling), CANCELED (Canceled), FAILED (Failed), REFUND_SUCCESS / REFUND_PROCESSING / REFUND_FAILED → display as "Early Redemption", never "Refund". Early-redeemed orders have zero yield.

Settlement Rules (Gate Examples)

Sell High: Invest 1 BTC, target price 20,000 USDT, 31 days, 100% APY

• Settlement price < 20,000 → payout = 1 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 1.0849 BTC
• Settlement price ≥ 20,000 → payout = 1 × 20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 21,698.63 USDT

Buy Low: Invest 20,000 USDT, target price 20,000 USDT, 31 days, 100% APY

• Settlement price ≤ 20,000 → payout = 20,000/20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 1.0849 BTC
• Settlement price > 20,000 → payout = 20,000 × (1 + 100%/365×31) = 21,698.63 USDT

Risk FAQ (Cases 13–14)

Q: Will I lose principal? (Case 13) A: Interest-guaranteed, not principal-protected. You always receive principal + interest, but the settlement currency may change. Sell-high may return crypto instead of USDT; buy-low may return USDT instead of crypto. The closer the target price to the current price, the higher the yield but also the higher the conversion risk.

Q: I sold high on BTC and it surged — did I lose money? (Case 14) A: When settlement price ≥ target price, you successfully sell at the target price and receive USDT, but miss gains above the target price. When settlement price < target price, you get back crypto + interest. This product suits sideways or mildly bullish markets; in strong bull markets you may "miss out" on excess gains.

Safety Rules

• Timestamp fields (CRITICAL): All time fields (delivery_time, create_time, complete_time, delivery_timest) are Unix timestamps (seconds). Do NOT convert them to dates or display them to the user in any form. This includes: (1) Do NOT show timestamps as table columns. (2) Do NOT convert timestamps to dates and use them as section headers or grouping labels (e.g. "Delivery Time: 2026-03-17"). (3) Do NOT mention delivery dates in order confirmations. Simply omit all time-related information from user-facing output.
• APY display (CRITICAL — applies to ALL dual tools): Any APY/rate field (apy, apy_display, apy_settlement, apyDisplay, or any other rate field) returned by any dual investment tool is a raw value — NOT a percentage. You MUST multiply by 100 then append % for display. NEVER display the raw value directly as a percentage. Common mistake: values like 1.1343 or 16.133 look like percentages but they are NOT — 1.1343 → 113.43%, 16.133 → 1613.3%. Another example: 0.0619 → 6.19%, 2.7814 → 278.14%. Use the raw value only in settlement formulas. This rule applies to ALL dual tools (cex_earn_list_dual_investment_plans, cex_earn_list_dual_orders, cex_earn_list_dual_balance, etc.).
• APY sanity check (MANDATORY before responding): After formatting ALL APY values, scan every value in your output. Typical correct ranges after ×100: crypto sell-high plans → 10%–2000%; stablecoin buy-low plans → 5%–1800%. If you see any APY displayed as 0.05%–20% (single or low-double digits), you almost certainly forgot to multiply by 100. STOP, go back, and recompute ALL APY values before responding. For example, if a raw value is 19.9378, the correct display is 1993.78% — NOT 19.94%.
• No investment advice: Do not recommend specific plans or predict prices. Present data and let the user decide.
• Non-principal-protected: Always clearly communicate that dual investment is NOT principal-protected and the user may receive a different currency.
• Order placement confirmation: Before calling cex_earn_place_dual_order, MUST show the user the full order details (plan, amount, target price, APY, settlement scenarios) and get explicit user confirmation. NEVER place an order without confirmation.
• Sensitive data: Never expose API keys, internal endpoint URLs, or raw error traces to the user.
