Kraken

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

The skill appears purpose-aligned for read-only Kraken portfolio queries, but users should notice that it uses Kraken API credentials and external Python dependencies.

This looks like a coherent Kraken account query skill. Before installing, create a least-privilege Kraken API key, do not grant trading or withdrawal rights unless separately needed, protect any .env file containing the key and secret, and be deliberate when requesting raw account-history commands.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The agent can retrieve and display Kraken balances, trade history, ledgers, staking positions, and related account details when the skill is used.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires Kraken API credentials with account-data permissions. This is expected for portfolio and staking queries, but it grants access to sensitive financial account information.

Skill content
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="your_api_key" ... export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="your_api_secret" ... API Key Permissions Required ... Query Funds ... Earn
Recommendation

Use a Kraken API key limited to the permissions needed by this skill, avoid granting trading or withdrawal permissions, and store the key/secret securely.

What this means

A broad or mistaken request could cause more detailed account information to be shown than the user intended.

Why it was flagged

The wrapper exposes a raw API pass-through path in addition to high-level summaries. The documented raw commands appear query-oriented and purpose-aligned, but they can return detailed private account data.

Skill content
api <command> [args] - Run any kraken_api.py command directly
Recommendation

Prefer the high-level summary commands for routine use and ask for raw API commands only when you specifically need the detailed account output.

What this means

Installing dependencies later could pull newer package versions than the author tested.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on external Python packages with minimum-version constraints rather than exact pins. These dependencies are expected for a Kraken API wrapper, but version drift can affect reproducibility.

Skill content
python-kraken-sdk>=1.2.0
python-dotenv>=1.0.0
Recommendation

Install from trusted package indexes and consider pinning or reviewing dependency versions before use in a sensitive financial-account context.
