gate-info-defianalysis

DeFi ecosystem analysis via Gate-Info MCP. Use this skill whenever the user wants TVL rankings, protocol metrics, yield/APY, stablecoins, bridges, exchange r...

Security Scan

This instruction-only skill is internally consistent: it routes DeFi queries to a listed Gate-Info MCP read-only toolset, requests no credentials, and includes bundled runtime rules that limit scope and data handling.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (DeFi ecosystem analysis) align with required artifacts: the skill only references Gate-Info MCP tools for TVL, yields, bridges, reserves, and related metrics — which is exactly what the skill says it does.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to call only specific, read-only MCP tools and to route coin-only or other intents to dedicated skills. It does not instruct reading local files, environment variables, or contacting arbitrary external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only). The only runtime dependency is the Gate-Info MCP server; there is no archive download or third-party package installation.

Credentials

No required environment variables, credentials, or config paths are declared. The skill explicitly states it is read-only and does not require API keys or secrets during normal execution.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges (always: false). It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings according to the bundled runtime rules.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and read-only: it will query a Gate-Info MCP server for DeFi metrics and asks for no credentials. Before installing, confirm you trust the Gate-Info MCP server you’ll connect to (MCP servers can fetch and expose external market/on-chain data), and verify the listed MCP tools exist in your environment. Also note the agent can invoke the skill autonomously (platform default); if you want to restrict autonomous calls, adjust skill invocation settings in your agent configuration.

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 ./references/gate-runtime-rules.md → Also read ./references/info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info / gate-news shared rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, and output standards).

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

The DeFi Ecosystem Analysis Skill. Routes to different sub-scenarios based on user intent (overview / single platform / yield / stablecoins / bridges / reserves / liquidation), each calling one or more MCP tools.

Trigger Scenarios: User asks about DeFi protocols, TVL, yield rates, stablecoins, cross-chain bridges, exchange reserves, liquidation distribution, etc.

Execution Workflow

Step 0: Multi-Dimension Intent Check

• If the query is about DeFi/platform metrics, proceed with this Skill.
• If the query also involves coin fundamentals, technicals, or news beyond DeFi scope, route to gate-info-research (if available).

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:

• platform_name (optional): Protocol name (e.g., Uniswap, Aave, Lido)
• symbol (optional): Token/stablecoin symbol (e.g., USDC, USDT, ETH)
• chain (optional): Blockchain filter (e.g., Ethereum, Arbitrum)
• exchange (optional): Exchange name (e.g., Binance, OKX)

Step 2: Call MCP Tools by Sub-scenario

Sub-scenario A: DeFi Overview

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data	Parallel
1a	info_platformmetrics_get_defi_overview	category="all"	Total TVL, volume, fees across DeFi/CEX/DEX	Yes
1b	info_platformmetrics_search_platforms	sort_by="tvl", limit=10	Top 10 platforms by TVL	Yes

Sub-scenario B: Platform Detail

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data	Parallel
1a	info_platformmetrics_get_platform_info	platform_name={name}, scope="full"	Full platform metrics (TVL, volume, fees, chains)	Yes
1b	info_platformmetrics_get_platform_history	platform_name={name}, metrics=["tvl","volume"]	Historical trend	Yes
1c	info_coin_get_coin_info	query={token_symbol}	Platform's native token info	Yes

Sub-scenario C: Yield Pools

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data
1	info_platformmetrics_get_yield_pools	project={name}, chain={chain}, symbol={symbol}, sort_by="apy", limit=20	Yield pool rankings with APY, TVL

Sub-scenario D: Stablecoins

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data
1	info_platformmetrics_get_stablecoin_info	symbol={symbol}, chain={chain}, limit=10	Stablecoin ranking or single coin detail with chain distribution

Sub-scenario E: Bridges

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data
1	info_platformmetrics_get_bridge_metrics	bridge_name={name}, chain={chain}	Bridge ranking or single bridge chain breakdown

Sub-scenario F: Exchange Reserves

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data
1	info_platformmetrics_get_exchange_reserves	exchange={exchange}, asset={asset}	Exchange on-chain reserves (BTC, ETH, etc.)

Sub-scenario G: Liquidation Heatmap

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data
1	info_platformmetrics_get_liquidation_heatmap	symbol={symbol}, exchange={exchange}	Liquidation density by price range

Step 3: LLM Aggregation

Generate sub-scenario-specific analysis. For overview, provide market context; for detail, provide competitive positioning; for yield, highlight risk/reward.

Step 4: Progressive Loading (Bridges & Stablecoins)

For Bridges and Stablecoins, use a list-first, detail-on-demand pattern:

1. First call (no bridge_name / narrow symbol): ranking list — summary without full chain breakdown.
2. Second call (user follow-up): specific bridge_name or symbol — full chain-level details.

Decision Logic

Condition	Assessment / next step
Generic DeFi market, TVL leaderboard, or “top protocols”	Sub-scenario A (Overview)
User names a specific protocol (Uniswap, Aave, ...)	Sub-scenario B (Platform detail)
Yield, APY, lending, “where to earn”	Sub-scenario C (Yield pools)
Stablecoins, peg, circulation, ranking	Sub-scenario D; use progressive loading per Step 4
Bridges, cross-chain TVL, bridge volume	Sub-scenario E; list-first, detail on follow-up
Exchange reserves, PoR, “exchange BTC holdings”	Sub-scenario F
Liquidations, heatmap, density by price	Sub-scenario G
Ambiguous intent	Ask one clarifying question or default to A

Error Handling

Error Type	Handling
Platform name not found	Suggest similar platform names; ask user to verify
Single Tool fails	Skip that section; note "Data temporarily unavailable"
All Tools fail	Return error; suggest user try again later
No yield pools match criteria	Broaden search (remove chain/symbol filter); inform user
Exchange not supported	List supported exchanges; ask user to choose another
Symbol not recognized	Try matching via info_coin_get_coin_info; ask user if unclear

Safety Rules

1. No yield guarantees: APY/yield data is historical and subject to change; state clearly that past rates do not guarantee future returns.
2. Smart contract risk: When showing yield pools or protocols, note that DeFi carries smart contract risk.
3. No endorsement: Listing a protocol does not constitute an endorsement; maintain neutrality.
4. Reserve disclaimers: Exchange reserve data is on-chain observable but may not reflect total assets.
5. Liquidation data: Liquidation heatmaps show estimated levels, not guaranteed triggers.
6. Data transparency: Label data source, update frequency, and known limitations.
7. Age & eligibility: Intended for users aged 18 or above with full civil capacity in their jurisdiction.
8. Data flow: The host agent processes user prompts; this skill directs read-only Gate-Info MCP tools listed above. The LLM formats answers from tool results. Aside from those MCP calls and the documented skill-update flow (GitHub URLs in General Rules and info-news-runtime-rules.md), this skill does not invoke additional third-party data services.
