Description
Access real-time cryptocurrency data including coin details, market rankings, trending tokens, and search by name or symbol using CoinGecko's free API.
Usage Guidance
This skill claims to use CoinGecko's public API but its runtime config points to gateway.pipeworx.io instead of api.coingecko.com. That means your queries would be routed through a third-party service which could log or modify requests/responses. Before installing: (1) ask the publisher which endpoint the agent will call and why the Pipeworx gateway is used; (2) confirm the gateway's privacy/security policy and operator identity; (3) avoid sending sensitive data via this skill; and (4) prefer a skill that calls the official CoinGecko API directly (or inspect network calls in a sandbox) if you need stronger privacy guarantees. The incomplete SKILL.md is another warning sign—request a complete specification or a trusted source/homepage before trusting this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pipeworx-coingecko
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a standard configuration for a CoinGecko MCP server via a gateway at gateway.pipeworx.io. The SKILL.md file correctly describes cryptocurrency data retrieval functions (get_coin, search_coins, etc.) and contains no malicious instructions, prompt injections, or suspicious execution logic.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description say this is a thin wrapper around CoinGecko's free API (no auth), which would not require any credentials or gateways. However the SKILL.md includes an mcpServers entry pointing at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/coingecko/mcp — a third-party endpoint that will receive requests. That is not clearly documented or justified in the description, so the requested runtime target is inconsistent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md is terse and partially truncated; it does not explicitly instruct the agent to call api.coingecko.com and instead embeds a JSON mcpServers config with the gateway.pipeworx.io URL. The instructions don't request files or env vars, but they do implicitly direct traffic to an external gateway outside CoinGecko, which may collect or log queries. The incomplete prose also leaves operational behavior ambiguous.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or installed, which lowers risk from supply-chain installs.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, consistent with a read-only CoinGecko integration. There is no declared need for unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill doesn't request persistent or elevated platform privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed (the default) but not by itself a red flag here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pipeworx-coingecko - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pipeworx-coingecko - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
