How this service works
Base toolbox: before you sign on Base — Uniswap v3 preflight, leftover allowances, tx explain, transfer check. $0.10 USDC. Also $0.001 price/gas/ENS. GET /v1/constants free. No CoinGecko key.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: ok (boolean success flag), kind (transaction classification such as 'approve', 'swap', 'transfer'), and next (recommended next action string like 'confirm_approve'), giving the agent a plain-language understanding of what the transaction will do on-chain.
Example use cases
Pre-sign transaction safety check
“I'm about to sign a transaction in my Base wallet but I'm not sure what it does — can you decode it and tell me if it's an approve, a swap, or something suspicious before I confirm?”
Uniswap v3 swap preflight
“I have a Uniswap v3 swap transaction on Base I'm about to submit — can you explain what's happening in the calldata and tell me what the next step should be?”
Unknown approval review
“My wallet just asked me to sign what looks like an approve transaction on Base — can you decode and explain it so I know exactly what allowance I'd be granting and to whom?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://basetoolbox.cartonpliant.workers.dev/v1/explainWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent or user needs to understand what a Base blockchain transaction will do before signing it — especially for Uniswap v3 swaps, ERC-20 approvals, or transfers where calldata is opaque. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need a structured, machine-readable classification with a recommended next action rather than a block explorer URL. Ideal for pre-signing safety checks in DeFi agent workflows on the Base network.
Side effects
- Malformed or missing input/output transaction object returns an error
- Unrecognized transaction calldata may result in an unknown kind classification
- Payment of 0.10 USDC not received causes 402 Payment Required response
- Non-Base-network transactions may be misclassified or unsupported
- Empty or null transaction body returns a validation error
