--- name: beaconchain description: Monitor Ethereum validator dashboard health on beaconcha.in via V2 API, focused on one-check-per-day status and BeaconScore-first triage. Use when the user asks to check validator health, BeaconScore, missed duties, or set up low-anxiety daily monitoring/alerts for a beaconcha.in dashboard. metadata: { "openclaw": { "requires": { "bins": ["python3"], "env": ["BEACONCHAIN_API_KEY", "BEACONCHAIN_DASHBOARD_ID"], }, "disableModelInvocation": true, }, } ---

Beaconchain

Use this skill to reduce validator-check anxiety: do one concise daily health check, then only surface issues.

Quick Start

1. Set credentials as env vars:

- BEACONCHAIN_API_KEY - BEACONCHAIN_DASHBOARD_ID

1. Run:

python3 skills/beaconchain/scripts/check_dashboard.py --json

1. Interpret exit code:

- 0 = good - 2 = bad (needs attention) - 1 = error (auth/rate-limit/endpoint failure)

Monitoring Workflow

1. Run scripts/check_dashboard.py once per day.
2. If status=good, respond with a short reassurance and avoid extra detail.
3. If status=bad, report:

- BeaconScore (if available) - Which signal tripped (missed/penalty fallback) - Next action: inspect dashboard details and validator logs.

1. If status=error, report key checks:

- API key validity - dashboard ID - plan/rate-limit permissions.

Command Patterns

Basic check

python3 skills/beaconchain/scripts/check_dashboard.py

JSON output (for cron/parsing)

python3 skills/beaconchain/scripts/check_dashboard.py --json

Custom threshold

python3 skills/beaconchain/scripts/check_dashboard.py --warn-threshold 75

Notes

• Script uses POST /api/v2/ethereum/validators/performance-aggregate with dashboard selector and reads data.beaconscore.total directly.
• Default window is 24h; supported windows: 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, all_time.
• Keep responses intentionally terse when healthy to support low-anxiety operations.

Security & Transparency

• Runtime: python3 only, using Python standard library (argparse, json, urllib, datetime).
• Credentials: reads BEACONCHAIN_API_KEY and BEACONCHAIN_DASHBOARD_ID (or equivalent CLI flags).
• Network egress: only https://beaconcha.in/api/v2/ethereum/validators/performance-aggregate.
• Local filesystem: no writes, no shell execution, no subprocess spawning.
