Description
Real-time market data, portfolio tracking, trade journaling, screening, and news for stocks, crypto, ETFs, commodities, and forex — no API key required to start
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally coherent and limited to calling the mkts.io API using curl. Before installing: (1) Verify the mkts.io domain/service reputation (homepage and source are not provided here). (2) If you register programmatically, be aware you'll POST an email to mkts.io to obtain a key — avoid sending any sensitive or private credentials in those requests. (3) Treat the optional API key like any secret (store it securely if you add it to the agent). (4) If you want extra assurance, test with a throwaway email and inspect outbound requests to confirm behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mkts-market-data
Version: 1.0.11
The skill bundle provides a comprehensive interface for financial market data and portfolio management via the mkts.io API. It uses standard curl commands for data retrieval and management, including endpoints for real-time quotes, historical data, SEC filings, and portfolio tracking. While it involves sending user-provided portfolio data and journal entries to a third-party server (mkts.io), this behavior is transparently documented and essential to the skill's stated purpose. No evidence of malicious execution, data exfiltration of sensitive local files, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (market data, portfolio tracking, news) match the runtime instructions: all documented operations are HTTP calls to https://mkts.io/api/v1 and the declared runtime dependency is only curl. The optional MKTS_API_KEY is appropriate for the described optional higher-rate access.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains concrete curl examples targeting mkts.io endpoints (market, assets, screener, news, etc.). It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, scan system paths, or exfiltrate unrelated credentials. The only outbound target documented is the mkts.io API and its RSS/news sources.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to download or execute. That minimizes on-disk risk and matches the stated simple curl-based usage.
Credentials
No required environment variables; an optional MKTS_API_KEY is documented and used in examples. There are no unrelated secrets or config paths requested.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and follows platform defaults for invocation. It does not request modification of other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mkts-market-data - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mkts-market-data - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
