Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with an agent-assisted trading workflow. Review the remote Polymarket CLI installer before running it, protect ~/.config/polymarket/config.json as a private-key file, and use trading commands only when you intentionally include --confirm.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket
Version: 1.2.1
The skill facilitates cryptocurrency trading and wallet management on Polymarket, which are high-risk activities involving real funds and private keys. It explicitly instructs the agent/user to install a third-party binary using a high-risk 'curl | sh' command from a remote URL (raw.githubusercontent.com/Polymarket/polymarket-cli/main/install.sh) in both SKILL.md and README.md. While the Python logic in scripts/polymarket.py appears to align with its stated purpose of wrapping the Polymarket CLI and API, the promotion of remote script execution and the handling of sensitive wallet configurations (~/.config/polymarket/config.json) represent a significant security risk.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is explicitly for querying and trading on Polymarket, and the artifacts match that purpose: read-only market queries, order books, wallet setup, balances, trades, order cancellation, and positions.
Instruction Scope
Trading and cancellation operations require the explicit --confirm flag, while read-only market browsing works without wallet setup or CLI installation.
Install Mechanism
The setup instructions recommend a mutable remote installer using curl piped to sh for the Polymarket CLI; this is disclosed but should be reviewed before execution.
Credentials
The skill uses public Polymarket APIs for read-only queries and the Polymarket CLI for wallet and trading operations; access to a local wallet/private-key config is expected for this trading purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill itself does not add hidden persistence, but wallet setup relies on the Polymarket CLI and stores private-key material in ~/.config/polymarket/config.json as disclosed.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
