Description
Fetches cryptocurrency news, chart snapshots, macroeconomic events data, federal reserve indicators (FRED), and trading signals. Use this skill when the user...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for a CLI-based market-data provider, but take these safety steps before installing: 1) Verify the npm package (methodalgo-cli) and GitHub repo (review recent commits, maintainers, and issues) before running npm install -g. 2) Prefer setting METHODALGO_API_KEY as an environment variable rather than using an interactive local login if you want finer control; treat the API key as sensitive. 3) Consider installing and testing the CLI in an isolated environment or container to limit blast radius of any malicious package behavior. 4) If you don't need FRED rate limits, omit FRED_API_KEY. 5) Note that snapshot outputs are hosted on methodalgo domains (URLs returned by the service) — if you or the agent downloads these, that fetch is to an external host. 6) Because the agent may call the skill autonomously (platform default), only enable it for agents you trust. If you want lower risk, inspect the package source locally before installing or run the CLI with network egress controls.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: methodalgo-market-intel-explorer Version: 1.2.0 The methodalgo-market-intel-explorer skill is a data provider tool designed to fetch cryptocurrency market data, trading signals, and macroeconomic indicators (FRED) via the 'methodalgo-cli' NPM package. The documentation in SKILL.md and the reference files provide clear, structured instructions for an AI agent to use the CLI effectively, including prompt templates and sample JSON outputs. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection was found; the skill operates within its stated purpose of financial data analysis.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (crypto news, snapshots, FRED data, signals) align with the declared requirements: a methodalgo CLI binary (methodalgo) installed from the npm package methodalgo-cli and an API key (METHODALGO_API_KEY). No unrelated services or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs installing the methodalgo CLI, setting METHODALGO_API_KEY (or using methodalgo login), and running methodalgo commands with --json. It references local CLI config storage (expected) and returns chart URLs hosted on methodalgo domains. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files or to transmit data to third parties beyond Methodalgo/FRED APIs.
Install Mechanism
Install is via npm (methodalgo-cli), which is a common and expected mechanism for a CLI tool. This is moderate-risk compared with no install spec because npm packages can contain arbitrary code; however the provenance points to a GitHub repo and an npm package, which is proportionate to the skill's purpose.
Credentials
Only METHODALGO_API_KEY (primary) is required and FRED_API_KEY is optional for higher FRED rate-limits — both are clearly justified by the described capabilities. No unrelated SECRET/TOKEN env vars are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no config paths requested. The skill can be invoked autonomously (disable-model-invocation:false), which is the platform default and appropriate for an integration that makes network calls. The skill does not request permanent agent-wide privileges or modify other skills.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install methodalgo-market-intel-explorer
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /methodalgo-market-intel-explorer
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
