Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

coingecko-openapi-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CoinGecko And GeckoTerminal Skill

Use this skill to run CoinGecko market data and GeckoTerminal onchain DEX operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3.
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/coingecko-openapi-skill/references/coingecko-market.openapi.json
  • A CoinGecko Demo API key.

Scope

This skill covers a read-first market data surface:

  • API liveness checks
  • spot price lookup
  • asset ID discovery
  • market screener reads
  • trending reads
  • GeckoTerminal network discovery
  • onchain token price lookup
  • trending pool reads

This skill does not cover:

  • paid or enterprise-only method families beyond the selected v1 scope
  • historical chart or OHLC families
  • portfolio, NFT, or onchain trade execution
  • the full CoinGecko or GeckoTerminal API

Authentication

The default host uses CoinGecko Demo auth with x-cg-demo-api-key.

Configure one API-key credential and bind it to api.coingecko.com/api/v3:

uxc auth credential set coingecko-demo \
  --auth-type api_key \
  --api-key-header x-cg-demo-api-key \
  --secret-env COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY

uxc auth binding add \
  --id coingecko-demo \
  --host api.coingecko.com \
  --path-prefix /api/v3 \
  --scheme https \
  --credential coingecko-demo \
  --priority 100

Validate the active mapping when auth looks wrong:

uxc auth binding match https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3

Pro Host Override

If you have a Pro plan, keep the same curated schema and create a separate credential, binding, and link:

uxc auth credential set coingecko-pro \
  --auth-type api_key \
  --api-key-header x-cg-pro-api-key \
  --secret-env COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY

uxc auth binding add \
  --id coingecko-pro \
  --host pro-api.coingecko.com \
  --path-prefix /api/v3 \
  --scheme https \
  --credential coingecko-pro \
  --priority 100

uxc link coingecko-pro-openapi-cli https://pro-api.coingecko.com/api/v3 \
  --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/coingecko-openapi-skill/references/coingecko-market.openapi.json

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
