## 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 checkpoint402-new-token-safety-check-d2955607
```

Example prompt: Show me the 10 newest tokens on Base with a safety score of at least 60 so I can avoid rugs and scams.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-account-required safety screening of newly launched tokens on Base, Ethereum, or BSC — especially for DeFi agents that need to quickly filter out scams and rug pulls from new token launches. Prefer this over general token price APIs when the primary need is risk/safety scoring of brand-new tokens rather than pricing or trading data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid chain value (not base/ethereum/bsc) returns an error
- limit out of range (outside 1-20) may return validation error
- minScore outside 0-100 range may return validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC returns 402 Payment Required
- No tokens meeting the minScore threshold returns empty result set
- Network or upstream data unavailability returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Transaction explanations, DeFi yields, new-token safety checks, SEC company events and sanctions screening. No account, no API key: each answer costs a few cents in USDC via x402.

## Output

A list of recently launched tokens on the specified chain (Base, Ethereum, or BSC), each with a safety score (0–100) and risk signals. Results can be filtered by minimum safety score and limited in count (1–20). Returned without requiring an account or API key; cost is $0.10 USDC per call via x402 protocol.
