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)

• - dexmarketgetkline
• dextokengetcoininfo
• dextokenranking
• dextokengetriskinfo
• dextokenlistswaptokens
• dextokenlistcrosschainbridge_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: INLINECODE5

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)

Mode Dispatch

MCP Mode

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

Includes: connection detection, 6 market data tools (dexmarketgetkline, dextokengetcoininfo, dextokenranking, dextokengetriskinfo, dextokenlistswaptokens, dextokenlistcrosschainbridge_tokens), no authentication required for market queries.

OpenAPI Mode (Progressive Loading)

Explicit user request only. Load files progressively:

1. 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. 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
