> Canisell Token Risk Verdict API is a paid API for AI agents from api.canisell.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-02).

Returns a SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER risk verdict for a Base ERC-20 token address, checking sellability, taxes, owner powers, liquidity, and token age — paid per-call in USDC via x402.

## 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 canisell-token-risk-verdict-api-2f4e267b
```

Example prompt: Before I ape into this token, can you check if 0xBA3F945812a83471d709BCe9C3CA699A19FB46f7 on Base is actually sellable — like, is it a honeypot, what are the taxes, and is there enough liquidity?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call (no account required) mechanical safety check on a specific Base ERC-20 token before trading — especially for newly launched tokens where honeypot, sell tax, and rug pull risks are highest. It is ideal for trading bots, DeFi agents, and wallet apps that need programmatic go/no-go signals. Prefer it over manual on-chain inspection or generic token scanners when you need structured verdicts with liquidity depth, tax simulation, and owner power flags in a single call on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or empty verdict
- Token has no liquidity pool on Base — trading simulation cannot complete
- On-chain RPC timeout causes elevated latency or partial results (flagged in meta.partial)
- Payment not received or x402 protocol failure — endpoint returns 402 and no verdict
- Token is too new and age checks are inconclusive
- Network congestion on Base delays simulation beyond typical latency

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API (x402, USDC) that returns a SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER verdict with reasons for new ERC-20 tokens on Base: sellability, taxes, owner powers, liquidity, token age. No accounts, no API keys. Also an MCP tool.

## Output

A JSON object containing a top-level SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER verdict with structured flags covering: trading simulation results (canBuy, canSell, buyTaxPct, sellTaxPct, roundTripLossPct), liquidity pools with depth in USD, token age, creator/owner power checks, block number and latency metadata, and a disclaimer. Partial results are flagged in the meta.partial array.
