Market Research Copilot

L2 composite skill — orchestrates 12 read-only MCP Tool Calls across Gate-Info MCP (8 tools) and Gate-News MCP (4 tools) to aggregate multi-source market intelligence into structured, citation-backed reports. No trading, swaps, staking, or any fund-moving operations.

Trigger Scenarios: User intent is "research / understand / analyze" — market overview, single-coin analysis, multi-coin comparison, technical trends, event attribution, risk check, or daily briefing.

Target Users: Casual / beginner traders, content-oriented users, and pre-decision users who need to quickly understand the market, a coin, or risk before acting.

Common Misconceptions

MisconceptionTruth
"Analyze BTC then buy it for me" will trigger a tradeThis Skill only produces analysis. Execution intent is routed to trading skills (e.g., gate-exchange-spot).
Analysis conclusions = investment adviceOutput must distinguish "data-driven analysis" from "investment advice". Never promise returns.

Design Rationale: 5-Dimension Signal Stacking

User queries often span multiple analysis dimensions (e.g., "How is BTC doing?" implies fundamentals + technicals + news). Forcing a single-intent classification is fragile. This Skill uses dimension signal stacking instead of N-choose-1 classification: independently detect 5 signal dimensions from the query, each activated dimension contributes a set of Tool Calls, and the final tool set is their union. Running 5 independent binary classifiers is far more stable than 1 nine-way classifier.

Key Parameter Notes

  • info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot: Always pass source="spot" to avoid non-standard pair data contamination.
  • info_markettrend_get_kline: Always pass source="spot" — without this constraint, price data may include DEX non-standard pairs, producing incorrect prices. This is a mandatory parameter.
  • info_compliance_check_token_security: Requires chain parameter; skip for major coins (BTC/ETH) where contract audit is not applicable.
  • info_onchain_get_token_onchain: Some tokens return empty results — this is expected; skip the on-chain section and annotate "On-chain data unavailable".

Workflow

MCP tool calls: Only Step 3 invokes Gate-Info / Gate-News MCP tools (info_*, news_*). Steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 are orchestration, signal planning, aggregation, and formatting — no MCP tool call in those steps.

Step 1: Intent Gate — Research vs. Execution

Determine if the user wants to research or execute.

  • Research intent (enter this Skill): understand, analyze, compare, briefing, risk check, trend, why pumping/dumping, sentiment, fundamentals, worth buying, overview, report.
  • Execution intent (route away): buy, sell, swap, stake, transfer, withdraw, place order, close position.

If the user mixes both (e.g., "analyze BTC then buy"), split into two phases: complete the research phase within this Skill, then route the execution phase to the appropriate trading skill (e.g., gate-exchange-spot).

Key data to extract:

  • intent_type: "research" or "execution"

Step 2: Parameter Extraction & 5-Dimension Signal Detection

Extract parameters from the user query:

  • symbols[]: Coin tickers (0 to N). Map project names to tickers (Solana -> SOL, Chainlink -> LINK).
  • sector: Optional sector (DeFi, Layer2, Meme, etc.)
  • time_range: Time scope (default 24h)

Then independently evaluate each of the 5 signal dimensions (non-exclusive, multiple can fire):

SignalDimensionTrigger ConditionTrigger KeywordsActivated Tools
S1Market / MacroNo specific coin + broad market focusmarket, overall, sector, DeFi, macro, daily brief, today, interest rateinfo_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot(BTC/ETH/top coins), info_platformmetrics_get_defi_overview, news_events_get_latest_events
S2Fundamentals / ProjectSpecific coin + project attribute focusfundamentals, project, funding, team, tokenomics, worth buying, potentialinfo_coin_get_coin_info({symbol}), info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot({symbol})
S3Technicals / K-lineSpecific coin + price/indicator focus; or user wording (any language) semantically asks for a holistic / comprehensive read that includes market or technical stance per coin (e.g. 综合、全面、整体 together with fundamentals). Intent-based, not a closed keyword list.K-line, support, resistance, RSI, MACD, overbought, oversold, technicals, trend, pattern; illustrative for holistic intent: 综合, 全面, holistic, full pictureinfo_markettrend_get_kline, info_markettrend_get_indicator_history, info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis, info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot
S4News / Sentiment / AttributionEvent or reason focus (coin optional)why pumping, why dumping, reason, news, sentiment, event, what happenednews_events_get_latest_events, news_feed_search_news, news_feed_get_social_sentiment, news_events_get_event_detail (conditional), info_onchain_get_token_onchain (conditional)
S5Security / RiskContract security / scam-risk focus; or the user’s wording (any language) semantically expresses long-term holding of the token(s) under discussion, or coin selection (choosing / comparing which coin(s) to favor). Use intent semantics, not matching a fixed multilingual keyword list. Do not treat「长线」by itself as sufficient to satisfy the long-term-holding branch.Security axis (illustrative): safe, risk, honeypot, rug, scam, audit, security, trustworthy. Long-term holding / coin selection: no closed keyword list — infer from user meaning.info_compliance_check_token_security, info_coin_get_coin_info

Fallback rules (when no signal is explicitly activated):

  • symbols == 0 -> activate S1 (market overview)
  • symbols == 1 -> activate S2 + S3 (single-coin comprehensive = fundamentals + technicals)
  • symbols >= 2 -> activate S2 x N (multi-coin comparison)
  • symbols >= 2 and the user semantically asks for a comprehensive / holistic multi-coin view (same spirit as single-coin S2+S3) -> also activate S3 x N (i.e. S2 x N + S3 x N)

Screening mode (when symbols == 0 and query contains "filter", "find", "recommend", "which", "ranking", "top"):

  • Phase 1: Activate S1 to fetch top-coin snapshots
  • LLM intermediate aggregation: Extract symbols from Phase 1 results
  • Phase 2: Activate S2/S3/S4/S5 per remaining signal keywords

Key data to extract:

  • symbols[]: List of coin tickers
  • sector: Sector filter if any
  • time_range: Time scope
  • activated_signals[]: List of activated signal dimensions (S1-S5)
  • screening_mode: Boolean

Signal Routing Examples:

User QuerysymbolsActivated SignalsExplanation
"How is BTC doing?"[BTC]S2 + S3 (fallback)No explicit dimension keywords; fallback: single-coin comprehensive
"Show me DOT support and resistance"[DOT]S3"support/resistance" triggers Technicals
"DOT support levels + news"[DOT]S3 + S4Technicals + News dual activation
"Why did the market crash yesterday?"[]S4 + S1"why/crash" triggers S4; "market" triggers S1
"Is ADA safe?"[ADA]S5"safe" triggers Security
"Full research report on XRP"[XRP]S2 + S3 + S4 + S5"research report" = all dimensions
"Compare BTC, ETH, SOL"[BTC,ETH,SOL]S2 x 3 (fallback)Multi-coin, no keywords; fallback: comparison
"BTC、ETH、SOL 综合对比一下"[BTC,ETH,SOL]S2 x 3 + S3 x 3Comprehensive / holistic multi-coin intent -> stack technicals per coin (aligned with single-coin S2+S3)
"Which coins are oversold? Analyze 2"[]S1 -> S3 + S2 (screening)"which" enters screening; "oversold" + "analyze" activate S3 + S2 in P2

Step 3: Assemble Tool Set & Execute

Combine all activated signal tool sets into a union, deduplicate by tool name + parameters, then execute:

Parallel execution (tools within the same Phase have no dependencies — call simultaneously):

  • All tools in a Phase are dispatched in parallel.

Serial dependencies (next Phase depends on previous Phase LLM aggregation):

  • Screening mode: Phase 1 snapshot results -> LLM extracts symbols -> Phase 2 uses those symbols.
  • Attribution branch (S4): news_events_get_latest_events result determines whether to call news_events_get_event_detail (event found) or skip (no event).

Deduplication rule: Same tool + same parameters within one request is called only once; the result is reused across multiple aggregation steps.

Call each activated tool with the parameter conventions below:

Call info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot with: symbol={symbol}, timeframe="1d", source="spot" Call info_coin_get_coin_info with: query={symbol}, scope="full" Call info_markettrend_get_kline with: symbol={symbol}, timeframe="1d", limit=90, source="spot" Call info_markettrend_get_indicator_history with: symbol={symbol}, indicators=["rsi","macd","bollinger","ma"] Call info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis with: symbol={symbol} Call info_platformmetrics_get_defi_overview with: category="all" Call info_compliance_check_token_security with: token={symbol}, chain={chain} Call info_onchain_get_token_onchain with: token={symbol} Call news_events_get_latest_events with: time_range={time_range}, limit=10 Call news_events_get_event_detail with: event_id={event_id} Call news_feed_search_news with: coin={symbol}, limit=5, sort_by="importance" Call news_feed_get_social_sentiment with: coin={symbol}

Key data to extract:

  • tool_results{}: Map of tool name to response data
  • failed_tools[]: Tools that timed out or returned errors

Step 4: LLM Multi-Source Aggregation

Pass all tool responses to the LLM for aggregation:

  1. Merge data from all dimensions into a coherent narrative.
  2. Deduplicate overlapping information (e.g., price from multiple snapshot calls).
  3. Conflict resolution: If sources contradict each other, present both viewpoints with attribution — never merge contradictory conclusions into one sentence.
  4. Data timestamp: Label each data point with its source tool and approximate data time.
  5. Missing data: If a tool failed or returned empty, annotate "Data unavailable for this section" — never fabricate data.

Key data to extract:

  • aggregated_report: Structured report content
  • data_sources[]: List of tools that contributed data
  • data_timestamps: Approximate data freshness

Step 5: Output Structured Report

Select the appropriate report template based on the activated signals, then output the final report. Always include the disclaimer at the end.

Key data to extract:

  • final_report: Markdown string — user-facing report body (template-filled; may refine aggregated_report from Step 4); must include the standard disclaimer.

Error Handling

Error TypeHandling

Single tool timeoutSkip that dimension; note "This dimension is temporarily unavailable"
All tools failReturn error message; suggest retry later
No Gate-News MCP configuredUse only Gate-Info tools (8 tools); mark news/sentiment sections as "No data"
No Gate-Info MCP configuredCritical — cannot proceed; guide user to install Gate-Info MCP
info_onchain_get_token_onchain returns emptyExpected for some tokens; skip on-chain section with note
info_compliance_check_token_security on BTC/ETHSkip contract audit for major coins; note "Not applicable for native chain assets"
User asks about NFT / options / other uncovered categoriesExplain coverage boundary; route to specialized skill if available

L1/L2 Routing Strategy

When a user query can be handled by a single L1 Skill's tool set (e.g., "How is BTC?" only needs coinanalysis's 5 tools), this L2 still serves as the unified entry point for all "research" intents:

  • Short-circuit optimization: If the activated signals map to only one L1's tools, call only that subset and produce the report — no need to invoke all 12 tools.
  • Principle: Unified entry via this L2 ensures consistent "research" experience; internally, 1 to 12 tools are called as needed.

DEX / On-Chain Boundary Handling

This Skill uses only Gate-Info MCP and Gate-News MCP. It does not include gate-dex-* or on-chain address tracking capabilities.

SituationDetection SignalAction
User mentions DEX explicitly"DEX", "on-chain", "liquidity pool", "Uniswap", "wallet address"Route to gate-dex-market or DEX skill; do NOT enter this Skill
Ambiguous "liquidity" without CEX/DEX context"this coin's liquidity"Default to CEX interpretation; if user clarifies DEX, re-route
User asks about NFT / options"NFT", "options", "derivatives"Explain coverage boundary; route to specialized skill if available
User asks "Is this coin listed on Gate?""listed", "can I buy"Brief listing check + risk note; or route to listing/new-coin skill
Multi-language / mixed Chinese-English inputN/AParse intent normally; if "research" intent with no DEX/execution signals, enter this Skill

No Confirmation Required

This L2 does not involve any trading confirmation mechanism because:

  • All 12 Tool Calls are read-only queries (info_* / news_*); zero cex_* write operations
  • No asset changes, order placement, transfers, or mode switches
  • No API Key / Secret / OAuth2 required

If the user appends execution intent (e.g., "analyze then buy"), this Skill completes the research phase only. The execution phase is routed to the appropriate trading skill (e.g., gate-exchange-spot), which applies its own Action Draft -> User Confirm -> Execute flow.

Tool Degradation Matrix

ToolDegradation Strategy
info_onchain_get_token_onchainSome tokens return empty; skip on-chain section and annotate "On-chain data unavailable"
info_compliance_check_token_securityRequires chain parameter; skip for major coins (BTC/ETH); annotate "Not applicable for native chain assets"
news_events_get_event_detailDepends on event_id from P1; if no events in P1, skip (go to P2b branch)
info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshotIf timeout, retry once; if still fails, skip snapshot section
Any other toolSingle tool failure: skip that dimension, annotate "This dimension is temporarily unavailable"

Safety Rules

  1. No investment advice: All output is data-driven analysis. Every report must include the disclaimer: "does not constitute investment advice."
  2. No price predictions: Do not output specific target prices or directional predictions (e.g., "will reach $100K").
  3. No fund operations: This Skill calls only read-only info_* and news_* tools. Never call cex_* tools.
  4. Data transparency: Label data source (tool name) and approximate data time for each section.
  5. No data fabrication: When a tool returns empty or fails, clearly state "Data unavailable" — never fabricate numbers.
  6. Conflict disclosure: When sources contradict, present both sides with attribution rather than silently picking one.
  7. No auth required: All 12 tools are public read-only; no API Key or OAuth2 is needed.
