MCP Mode
Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, then execute this skill's collateral-loan workflow.
SKILL.mdkeeps routing and product constraints.references/mcp.mdis the authoritative MCP execution layer for quota/LTV pre-checks, confirmation gates, and post-action verification.
Trigger Conditions
This skill activates when the user asks about multi-collateral loan operations. Classify intent via Routing Rules (Cases 1–7). Trigger phrases include: "collateral loan", "current loan", "fixed loan", "repay", "add collateral", "redeem collateral", or equivalent in other languages.
Workflow
Step 1: Classify intent
Identify the user intent using Routing Rules (Cases 1–7). If required inputs are missing (order_id, currency, amount, fixed term), ask clarifying questions before proceeding.
Step 2: Read-only requests (rates, LTV, quota, orders)
Call the corresponding MCP tool when the user asks for rates, LTV, quota, order list, or order detail.
Call cex_mcl_list_user_currency_quota with:
type:collateralorborrowcurrency: comma-separated (borrow: single currency)
Call cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_ltv with:
- (no params)
Call cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_fix_rate with:
- (no params)
Call cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_current_rate with:
currencies: comma-separated currency list
Call cex_mcl_list_multi_collateral_orders with:
page,limit(optional)sort(optional):time_desc,ltv_asc,ltv_descorder_type(optional):currentorfixed
Call cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_order_detail with:
order_id
Key data to extract:
- LTV thresholds, fixed/current rates, quota rows, order_id, order status, collateral and borrow details
Step 3: Create loan (current or fixed)
If current loan:
- Build draft (collateral list + borrow currency/amount).
- Ask for confirmation.
- Call
cex_mcl_create_multi_collateralwithorder: JSON string (borrow_currency, borrow_amount, collateral_currencies, order_type: current).
If fixed loan:
- Call
cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_fix_rate(returns a list); filter by borrow_currency; takerate_7dorrate_30das fixed_rate (hourly rate; pass through unchanged, do not convert or relabel as annual/daily). - Build draft with fixed_type and fixed_rate (describe to user as hourly rate if showing).
- Ask for confirmation.
- Call
cex_mcl_create_multi_collateralwithorder: JSON including order_type: fixed, fixed_type7d/30d, fixed_rate.
Step 4: Repay
Build draft, ask confirmation, then call cex_mcl_repay_mcl with:
repay_loan: JSON string withorder_idandrepay_items[{ currency, amount, repaid_all }]
Step 5: Add or redeem collateral
Build draft, ask confirmation, then call cex_mcl_operate_multi_collateral with:
collateral_adjust: JSON string withorder_id,type(append|redeem),collaterals[{ currency, amount }]
Judgment Logic Summary
- Determine case by keywords and required inputs (loan create / repay / add / redeem / list).
- Fixed loan requires fix_rate lookup; if not available, stop and inform user.
- All write operations must be confirmed before calling MCP.
- Auth failure (401/403) prompts API key configuration.
Report Template
When asking for confirmation: Draft:
- Type: {current|fixed|repay|append|redeem}
- Order ID: {order_id if applicable}
- Borrow: {borrow_amount} {borrow_currency}
- Collateral: {collateral_amounts}
- Fixed term/rate: {fixed_type} / {fixed_rate} (hourly rate)
Please confirm to proceed.
On success:
- Summary of action and key identifiers (order_id, amounts).
On failure:
- Error message and next-step guidance (e.g., check currency/amount/LTV).
Prerequisites
- MCP Dependency: Requires gate-mcp to be installed.
- Authentication: Order list, detail, repay, collateral, quota, and records require API key; LTV, fix rate, and current rate are public without key.
- Disclaimer: Loan and LTV information is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. Understand product terms and liquidation risk before borrowing.

Routing Rules
| Case | User Intent | Signal Keywords | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create current loan | "current loan", "pledge ... borrow ... (current)" | See references/scenarios.md Scenario 1 |
| 2 | Create fixed loan | "fixed loan", "borrow ... for 7/30 days" | See references/scenarios.md Scenario 2 |
| 3 | Repay | "repay", "repay order ..." | See references/scenarios.md Scenario 3 |
| 4 | Add collateral | "add collateral", "add margin" | See references/scenarios.md Scenario 4 |
| 5 | Redeem collateral | "redeem collateral", "reduce margin" | See references/scenarios.md Scenario 5 |
| 6 | List orders / order detail | "loan orders", "order detail", "my orders" | cex_mcl_list_multi_collateral_orders / cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_order_detail — never include any time/date fields in the user-facing reply (see Presentation below) |
| 7 | Auth failure (401/403) | MCP returns 401/403 | Do not expose keys; prompt user to configure Gate CEX API Key (multi-collateral loan). |
Execution
- Identify user intent from the Routing Rules table above.
- For Cases 1–5: Read the corresponding scenario in
references/scenarios.mdand follow the Workflow (show order draft, then call MCP only after user confirmation). - For Case 6: Call list or detail tool as needed; no confirmation required for read-only. Never show borrow_time, maturity, due date, operate_time, create_time, repay_time, Unix timestamps, or any other time-related fields in the reply—even if the user asks for dates/times; suggest checking the Gate app or web for timing details.
- For Case 7: Do not expose API keys or raw errors; prompt the user to set up Gate CEX API Key with multi-collateral loan permission in MCP.
- If the user's intent is ambiguous (e.g. missing order_id, currency, or amount), ask a clarifying question before routing.
Domain Knowledge
Core Concepts
- Current loan: Flexible loan. Create via
cex_mcl_create_multi_collateralwithorderJSON:order_type: current. - Fixed loan: 7-day/30-day.
orderJSON must includeorder_type: fixed,fixed_type:7dor30d(lowercase),fixed_rate: hourly interest rate fromcex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_fix_rate(userate_7dorrate_30dfor that borrow_currency; pass as-is, do not describe as annual or daily rate). Missing fixed fields may yield INVALID_PARAM_VALUE. - Repay:
cex_mcl_repay_mclwithrepay_loanJSON. - Add collateral:
cex_mcl_operate_multi_collateral,collateral_adjustwithtype: append. - Redeem collateral: same tool,
type: redeem. - LTV:
cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_ltv— init_ltv, alert_ltv, liquidate_ltv.
Create Loan Flow (Case 1 & 2)
- Parse collateral, borrow currency/amount; fixed: 7 days → 7d, 30 days → 30d.
- Current: Optionally
cex_mcl_list_user_currency_quotaor current rate tools. On confirm:cex_mcl_create_multi_collateralwithorderJSON. - Fixed:
cex_mcl_get_multi_collateral_fix_rate; filter list by borrow_currency; on empty or no row, stop with user message; else set fixed_rate = rate_7d or rate_30d (hourly rate; pass as-is into order JSON; do not describe as annual or daily). On confirm:orderJSON with fixed fields.
Repay Flow (Case 3)
- Parse order_id and repay amount (or full).
- Show draft; on confirm:
cex_mcl_repay_mclwithrepay_loanJSON.
Add / Redeem Collateral Flow (Case 4 & 5)
- Parse order_id and collateral amount/currency.
- Show draft; on confirm:
cex_mcl_operate_multi_collateralwithcollateral_adjustJSON.
Presentation — order list / order detail (Case 6)
When the user asks to view my collateral loan orders or order detail:
- No time fields: Do not output any time or date information—omit every timestamp-style field from MCP (e.g.
borrow_time, maturity, due time,operate_time,create_time,repay_time, calendar dates, Unix seconds as dates). Do not paraphrase relative timing (e.g. "expires in 3 days") computed from those fields. - Allowed in reply:
order_id,status, borrow side (currency, principal/interest left), collateral side (currency, amount), current LTV if present, fixed_type7d/30das term label only (no calendar dates). - If the user asks specifically for dates/maturity: Reply that timing is not shown here and they should open Gate (app/web) for full order schedule—still do not paste API time fields into chat.
Safety Rules
- Writes (
cex_mcl_create_multi_collateral,cex_mcl_repay_mcl,cex_mcl_operate_multi_collateral): Always require explicit confirmation and an order draft before execution. - No investment advice: Present LTV/rates; user decides.
- Sensitive data: Never expose API keys or raw internal errors.
- Amounts: Reject non-positive amounts; validate order_id for repay/collateral ops.
- Order views: Never surface time columns, dates, or timestamp fields in order list/detail answers to the user.
Error Handling
| Condition | Response |
|---|---|
| 401/403 | "Please configure your Gate CEX API Key in MCP with multi-collateral loan permission." |
cex_mcl_create_multi_collateral fails | Check order JSON: borrow fields; for fixed include fixed_type 7d/30d and fixed_rate from fix_rate tool. |
| Wrong fixed_type | Must be 7d or 30d, lowercase. |
| Fix rate empty (fixed) | "Fixed rate temporarily unavailable; try later or use current loan." |
| Repay / operate fails | Check order_id, currency, amount in JSON payloads. |
| Order not found | "Order not found." / "No loan orders." |
Prompt Examples & Scenarios
