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"

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:
- Always load first:
references/openapi/_shared.md — env detection, credentials, API call method (via helper script)
- Then load based on query type:
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: via
dex_chain_config tool
- OpenAPI Mode: chain parameter in request
Common chains: eth, bsc, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, avax, base, sol.
Security Rules
- Data objectivity: Present prices and rankings objectively, no investment advice
- Risk warnings: Clearly remind users to judge investment risks themselves when showing security audits
- Credential security: Follow §3 of gate-runtime-rules.md for auth/credential handling
- Read-only: All operations are data queries, no on-chain write operations
1---2name: gate-dex-market3description: Gate DEX READ-ONLY market data lookup skill. For data queries that NEVER execute on-chain transactions: check token prices, view K-line charts, browse token rankings, discover new tokens, analyze holders, run security audits, view trading volume and liquidity.
