metals-agent-teneo

What This Skill Does

The Metals Agent skill provides real-time market data for precious and industrial metals, specifically gold, silver, and copper. Powered by the Teneo Protocol, this skill enables AI agents to query current financial market prices directly through a secure, decentralized Web3 interface. By acting as a bridge between the Teneo network and your OpenClaw environment, it allows for seamless, programmatic access to commodity pricing without needing to rely on centralized or unreliable public APIs. The agent is designed to be efficient, lightweight, and compatible with multiple EVM-compatible chains, including Base, Peaq, and Avalanche.

Installation

To integrate the metals-agent-teneo into your workflow, ensure you have Node.js 18 or higher installed. Start by installing the required Teneo Protocol SDK in your environment using the command: npm install @teneo-protocol/sdk dotenv. Once installed, you will need to configure your environment variables to handle wallet authentication, as the Teneo Protocol requires signing transactions to facilitate secure, on-chain communication. Refer to the Teneo Agent SDK documentation for specific steps on managing your private keys and network provider settings. You can install the skill directly via OpenClaw using: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/firestream792/metals-agent-teneo.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for automated financial analysts, trading bots, or reporting dashboards. For example, a crypto-native hedge fund manager might use this to track commodity-to-stablecoin correlations. Alternatively, a supply chain management agent could monitor copper prices to predict manufacturing overhead fluctuations. Because it supports automated payments via USDC, it is ideal for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that require verified, paid-for data feeds for their treasury operations.

Example Prompts

1. "@metals-agent gold - What is the current price of gold in USD?"
2. "@metals-agent table - Please generate a summary table comparing the current market prices for gold, silver, and copper."
3. "@metals-agent silver - Check the current silver price and notify me if it has changed since our last check."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure consistent performance, always verify your wallet balance on the chosen network (Base, Peaq, or Avalanche) before making requests. While the agent provides real-time data, ensure your application logic handles occasional network latency typical of decentralized Web3 environments. Please note that this agent relies on the Teneo Protocol's infrastructure; downtime on the protocol side may briefly affect your ability to fetch quotes. For production-grade applications, implement retry logic in your connection handler to maintain high availability.
