Hey Kris,
It kind of depends in what kind of features you want your "risk manager" to have. But in most cases you don't have to use the full Gekko codebase (that comes with strategy execution, order simulation, backtest engine, etc). But instead you can use the Gekko Broker library:
Right now this is a low level tool, it's not a nice app with a UI and buttons. But you can use that to easily execute orders and watch the markets in realtime. How you would use it is your would program your own risk management tool that would use Gekko Broker to automatically watch and trade on all of Gekko's supported markets.
As a matter of fact I am using Gekko Broker at this very moment to run a number of different trading systems, for example some market making bots. They are managing a significant amount of my crypto for me. The markets are quiet now but they trade around one million $ in volume per month.
