Aster Futures Skill

Futures request on Aster using authenticated API endpoints. Authentication uses EIP-712 ECDSA signing with API wallet (main wallet + signer wallet). Return the result in JSON format.

Data Fetching Guidelines (CRITICAL)

NEVER truncate JSON responses with head -c, head -n, or similar — truncated JSON is corrupted and will produce wrong results.

Mandatory Rules

1. Always specify symbol parameter when querying a specific trading pair. Many endpoints return ALL symbols when symbol is omitted, producing responses of 100KB+.
2. Always use limit parameter to constrain result size. Use the smallest limit that satisfies the request (e.g., limit=5 instead of default 500).
3. Use jq to extract fields — never parse raw mega-JSON visually. Pipe through jq to select only needed data.

Progressive Data Exploration Strategy

When the user asks a broad question (e.g., "what futures are available?"), use a layered approach:

1. Step 1 — Get lightweight summary first:

   # Get just the symbol list, not full exchangeInfo
   curl -s "https://fapi.asterdex.com/fapi/v3/exchangeInfo" | jq '[.symbols[].symbol]'
   

2. Step 2 — Confirm scope with user before fetching detailed data for many symbols.

3. Step 3 — Fetch details for specific symbols only:

   # Get price for ONE symbol, not all
   curl -s "https://fapi.asterdex.com/fapi/v3/ticker/price?symbol=BTCUSDT"
   

Endpoints That Return Dangerously Large Data (without symbol filter)
