# Aayat AI DeFi Protocol Safety & TVL Lookup

> Aayat AI DeFi Protocol Safety & TVL Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from aayatai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns safety verdict, TVL, audit status, hacks history, and on-chain metrics for a named DeFi protocol using DefiLlama data

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://aayatai.com/defi/protocol?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-02

- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/aayat-ai-defi-protocol-safety-tvl-lookup-cc713684
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_XgOPVaFhMj04zD9aEidyV

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aayat-ai-defi-protocol-safety-tvl-lookup-cc713684
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Aave V3 is safe — I want to know its TVL, whether it's been hacked before, how many audits it has, and what chains it runs on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs structured, pre-scored DeFi protocol safety data without building a custom DefiLlama integration. It is ideal for DeFi due-diligence flows, risk dashboards, or agent-driven investment tools that need a single call returning safety verdict, TVL, audit info, and hack history together. Prefer this over raw DefiLlama API calls when you need a normalized safety score and flags already computed. Not suitable for token-level price feeds or wallet balance lookups (use sibling endpoints for those).

## Known failure modes

- Protocol name not found — returns empty suggestions array or 404-equivalent if slug cannot be resolved
- Ambiguous name matches multiple protocols — response includes a suggestions array with alternatives instead of a single result
- DefiLlama data unavailable or stale — checkedAt timestamp may be outdated
- Very new or obscure protocols may have null TVL or null ageDays
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — request not processed

## How this service works

DeFi protocol safety check: TVL and its 1h/1d/7d change, chains, category, audits and audit links, oracles, age, forks, market cap/TVL, and every past hack from DefiLlama's database, rolled into flags, a 0-100 score and a verdict. Pass ?name=aave-v3 (slug or name).

## Output

A JSON object containing the protocol's canonical name, DefiLlama slug, current TVL in USD, safety verdict (high-risk/caution/low-risk), safety score 0–100, safety flags, number of audits, audit links, list of past hacks, supported chains, oracle list, TVL percentage changes over 1h/1d/7d, protocol category, age in days, parent protocol, market cap to TVL ratio, and any alternative protocol suggestions if the name is ambiguous.
