# Crypto Microdata – Honeypot Check (x402)

> Crypto Microdata – Honeypot Check (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Analyzes a Base ERC-20 token contract address for honeypot risk, sell restrictions, taxes, and other trading safety signals, returning a verdict and risk score.

## 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 crypto-microdata-honeypot-check-x402-7aeb744c
```

Example prompt: Before I buy, can you run a honeypot check on the Base token at address 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 and tell me if it's safe to trade — any sell restrictions, taxes, or red flags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs a fast, pay-per-call (no API key) safety check on a Base ERC-20 token before executing a buy — specifically for honeypot simulation, sell-tax detection, and holder concentration analysis on the Base chain. Prefer over generic token scanners when operating natively with x402 micropayments in USDC and targeting Base network tokens specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid address format (not a 0x hex address) returns 400 validation error
- Non-contract address (EOA wallet) may return unexpected results or error
- Token contract not deployed on Base returns error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 Payment Required
- Unverified or obfuscated contracts may produce incomplete analysis
- Network congestion on Base may cause timeout

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: overall verdict (OK/WARNING/DANGER), risk_level (low/medium/high), numeric risk_score, can_sell boolean, should_buy boolean, buy_tax and sell_tax percentages, honeypot simulation result, top-10 holder percentage, holder count, contract flags (e.g. upgradeable_proxy), bytecode size, verified_source boolean, and human-readable reasons array explaining any risks detected.
