# BentCrypto Token Risk API

> BentCrypto Token Risk API is a paid API for AI agents from api.bentcrypto.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## 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-risk-api-0c241948
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this Solana token at address 7GCihgDB8fe6KNjn2MYtkzZcRjQy3t9GHdC8uHYmW2hr, can you pull its BentCrypto risk score so I know if it's safe to trade?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, scored pre-trade risk intelligence for a specific Solana token address and want a machine-readable risk assessment suitable for automated trading agents or DeFi bots. Prefer this over generic on-chain data APIs when you need a pre-computed risk score rather than raw blockchain data, and when a low-cost $0.01 per-call micropayment model fits your usage pattern.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed token address returns an error response
- Token address not found on the specified chain returns no data or a 404
- Unsupported chain value (non-Solana) may return a validation error
- Missing required 'address' query parameter returns a 400 bad request
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC payment is not properly attached to the request
- Network timeout or upstream data unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Crypto intelligence APIs for token risk, wallet risk and pre-trade security checks, plus practical education. Machine-readable JSON with x402 pay-per-request pricing.

## Output

Returns a structured risk intelligence object for the queried token, including a numeric or categorical risk score and supporting risk signals (e.g. liquidity flags, contract anomalies, holder concentration, rug pull indicators) relevant to pre-trade decision-making on the specified blockchain.
