How this service works
Machine-payable service intelligence for discovering, verifying, and monitoring identity, risk, authorization, execution-preflight, and evidence APIs before autonomous agents spend.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the network identifier (eip155:8453), product name, and an assessment object containing a risk_score (numeric), risk_level (e.g. 'low', 'medium', 'high'), and a flags array listing any specific risk signals detected for the token/owner/spender combination.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I approve this contract to spend my USDC, can you check the approval risk on Base? The token is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48, my wallet is 0xAbCd1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234, and the spender is 0xDEF456789012345678901234567890def4567890.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://base-agent-preflight.bytoken2023.workers.dev/v1/x402/base/approval-riskWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to pre-screen an ERC-20 token approval transaction on Base before signing, particularly when the spender contract is unfamiliar or the approval amount is large. Prefer this over generic transaction decoders when the specific risk profiling of an allowance relationship (owner→spender→token) is needed rather than just decoding calldata.
Side effects
- Invalid Ethereum address format for token, owner, or spender returns a 400 validation error
- Unknown or unindexed contract addresses may return a low-signal assessment with empty flags
- Service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Rate limiting or payment failure may return a 402 or 429 response
