Description
This skill should be used when the user asks to "connect to Trading 212", "authenticate Trading 212 API", "place a trade", "buy stock", "sell shares", "place market order",, "place pending order", "place limit order", "cancel order", "check my balance", "view account summary", "get positions", "view portfolio", "check P&L", "find ticker symbol", "search instruments", "check trading hours", "view dividends", "get order history", "export transactions", "generate CSV report", or needs guidance on Trading 212 API authentication, order placement, position monitoring, account information, instrument lookup, or historical data retrieval.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a genuine Trading 212 API helper based on its instructions, but it omits required credential declarations in the manifest and has no homepage or clear publisher provenance. Before installing or using it: (1) Prefer testing with DEMO credentials only — do not supply LIVE API keys until you're confident. (2) Ask the publisher to add explicit requires.env and primary credential metadata (so the platform can handle secrets securely). (3) Verify the skill's source (homepage or official publisher) — 'Trading 212' listed as author is not proof of authenticity. (4) If you must use it, supply the minimum necessary credentials and rotate keys afterward. (5) Watch for any requests to read unrelated environment variables or system files; if the agent asks for broader access than documented, stop and revoke keys. Providing no homepage and failing to declare required env vars is the primary reason this skill is flagged as suspicious; getting clear provenance and corrected metadata would raise confidence.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: trading212-api Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its extensive handling of highly sensitive financial credentials and data. It explicitly instructs the agent to read API keys and secrets from environment variables, base64 encode them for authentication, and make network calls to perform financial transactions (buy/sell stocks). Most notably, the skill provides direct instructions to download comprehensive financial CSV reports, which contain sensitive user data, to the local filesystem (e.g., `trading212_report.csv`). While these actions are aligned with the stated purpose of interacting with the Trading 212 API, the inherent risks associated with managing financial credentials and storing sensitive financial reports locally, even if intended for the user, warrant a 'suspicious' classification rather than 'benign' given the potential for misuse or data exposure in an insecure environment. All network calls are directed to legitimate Trading 212 domains (e.g., `https://demo.trading212.com`, `https://live.trading212.com`, `trading212-reports.s3.amazonaws.com`).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description match the instructions (Trading 212 API access, placing trades, account queries). However, the manifest declares no required environment variables or primary credential even though the SKILL.md repeatedly instructs the agent to read/use T212_API_KEY, T212_API_SECRET, T212_AUTH_HEADER, T212_BASE_URL, account-specific pairs, etc. The lack of declared credentials in the manifest is inconsistent with the skill's stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md contains detailed runtime instructions for authentication, building Basic Auth headers, selecting LIVE vs DEMO, and making API requests — all within scope for a Trading 212 integration. It also instructs the agent to check for environment variables and to build/ask for credentials when missing. No instructions were found that ask the agent to read unrelated system files or transmit unrelated secrets, but the instructions do rely on environment variables being present or being provided at runtime.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. That reduces surface risk because nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer.
Credentials
The SKILL.md expects multiple specific environment variables (T212_API_KEY, T212_API_SECRET, T212_AUTH_HEADER, T212_BASE_URL, and account-specific variants) appropriate for a Trading 212 integration. However, the skill manifest lists no required env vars and no primary credential. That mismatch prevents the platform or user from easily understanding what secrets the skill needs and from providing them securely. The requested variables themselves are proportional to the stated purpose, but the omission in metadata is a red flag.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and has no install behavior or code that persists on disk or modifies other skills. Autonomous invocation is enabled by default (normal for skills) but does not combine here with other high-privilege indicators.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install trading212-api
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /trading212-api
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
