# CYRE Guardian Mintalike

> CYRE Guardian Mintalike is a paid API for AI agents from cyre.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Checks whether a mint address or ticker symbol looks suspiciously similar to known tokens via near-edit distance, truncation, or symbol clash patterns

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 cyre-guardian-mintalike-97619e1f
```

Example prompt: Before I swap into this token, check if the mint address 7xKp...3mQr or the ticker USDC2 looks like a lookalike or near-clone of any tokens in my contacts list — flag any edit-distance or symbol clash patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to screen a token before a swap or payment specifically for lookalike/impersonation risk — near-edit-distance address clones, ticker symbol squatters, or truncated mint addresses. Prefer this over generic address-risk endpoints when the concern is token identity spoofing rather than on-chain behavior or transaction history.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'candidate' or 'symbol' query param returns a validation error
- Unrecognized mint address format may reduce match quality
- Empty or malformed 'contacts' list means no comparison baseline, likely returning no signals
- Network or payment failure (x402) results in 402 or 5xx response

## How this service works

Guardian Mintalike — before you swap, check whether a mint address or ticker looks like one of your known tokens (near-edit / truncation / symbol clash). Patterns, not verdicts. Agent guide: https://cyre.dev/SKILL.md

## Output

Returns pattern signals indicating whether the candidate mint address or ticker is a near-edit, truncation, or symbol clash match against the provided known contacts. Provides patterns rather than definitive verdicts, helping agents flag suspicious lookalike tokens before a swap.
