# BentCrypto Token Preflight

> BentCrypto Token Preflight is a paid API for AI agents from api.bentcrypto.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Returns live pre-trade preflight intelligence for a Base token contract, aggregating risk, security, and liquidity signals before a swap or purchase.

## 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 bentcrypto-token-preflight-017800da
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this Base token at 0x1234...abcd, run a preflight check on it — I want to know if it's risky, has any security red flags, or might be hard to sell later.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or trading bot needs a single, consolidated pre-trade assessment of a Base ERC-20 token before executing a swap — combining risk, security, and liquidity signals in one call. Prefer this over individual risk or security endpoints when you need a holistic go/no-go signal at decision time, especially in autonomous or time-sensitive trading workflows. It is specifically suited for Base chain; use sibling endpoints for Solana token analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent token contract address returns an error response
- Chain not set to 'base' returns validation error (only Base is supported for this endpoint)
- Token contract exists but has no on-chain data yet may return incomplete signals
- Network or RPC latency may occasionally cause timeouts on live data fetches
- Newly deployed contracts may have insufficient history for full analysis

## How this service works

Crypto intelligence APIs for Token Risk, Token Security, and live Token Preflight across Solana and Base, plus practical education. Machine-readable JSON with x402 pay-per-request pricing.

## Output

A JSON object containing live preflight intelligence for the specified Base token, including aggregated risk signals, security assessment flags, liquidity indicators, and an overall trade-readiness verdict — giving the caller a structured go/no-go signal before executing a swap or purchase.
