MCP server, the live tool layer
The MCP server is what lets the agent fetch real prices, simulate a trade, or build a transaction. Without it, the agent has no hands.Skills, the static playbooks
Skills teach the agent how to use OpenFinance well, when to use isolated vs cross margin, how to size a Hyperliquid perp, how to interpret a Polymarket order book, how to chainpreviewTrade before buildTransaction. Without them, the agent has hands but no judgement.
