GateData Signals & News
General Rules
⚠️ STOP — Read gatedata-runtime-rules.md first.
- MCP server:
GateData(production) - Scope required:
signals(Plus+ plan) - Primary tool:
events_news_query(multi-task) - Phase-1 public tasks only (API hard-rejects everything else):
content_search|event_search|social_search|sentiment
When to use this skill
| User intent | Call |
|---|---|
| News / headlines / free-text content | task: content_search + query (and/or ticker + market) |
| Events calendar / time-bounded event feed | task: event_search + prefer from + to |
| Social posts (X / Twitter / YouTube) | task: social_search + platform + query/ticker |
| Aggregated sentiment score | task: sentiment + ticker + market |
Do not call (rejected / out of phase-1): news, events, ugc, auto, event_detail, announcements, ratings, insight, anomalies, market_move_evidence.
Omitted task may still auto-route server-side; always pass an explicit phase-1 task in skills so calls stay predictable.
Do not use for live prices → gatedata-market-research.
Do not use for prediction odds → gatedata-prediction-markets.
Do not use for financial statements / earnings → gatedata-fundamentals-earnings.
Do not use for analyst ratings / target prices (not in this release) → say unavailable; use consensus on earnings only for estimate consensus.
Ambiguous entity → gatedata-assets-resolve first.
