Frequently asked questions
How do I find the correct ID for a cryptocurrency?
Use the cg_search(query) function to search for coins, exchanges, or categories by name.
Can I use this skill to get futures or derivatives data?
The skill provides limited derivatives data via cg_derivatives and cg_derivatives_exchanges, but it is strictly for CoinGecko data. It explicitly warns against using Coinglass-specific tool names.
What should I do if a price lookup fails?
Use cg_search to verify the correct CoinGecko slug ID for the asset.
Is web search required for market data?
No. The skill documentation explicitly forbids using web_search or web_fetch for crypto market data, as all necessary information is available through the provided CoinGecko functions.
