> Degenscan Intel Token Risk Check is a paid API for AI agents from intel.degenscan.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns a DANGER/HIGH_RISK/CAUTION/LOW_RISK verdict, 0–100 risk score, honeypot flag, buy/sell tax, mintable status, and top 3 issues for a token contract address across EVM chains or Solana.

## 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 degenscan-intel-token-risk-check-1e17413b
```

Example prompt: Before I buy, can you run a risk check on the token at 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum and tell me if it's a honeypot, what the buy/sell tax looks like, and its overall risk verdict?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs a fast, structured token safety signal before executing a buy, swap, or snipe — especially when honeypot detection, tax assessment, and a simple verdict label are the primary requirements. Prefer the lite risk endpoint over /v1/token/verdict when low latency and minimal payload are priorities. Best suited for pre-trade screening pipelines across Base, Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, or Solana.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed token address returns an error
- Unsupported chain identifier causes a bad request response
- Token not found on the specified chain returns no data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402
- Network timeout if the chain RPC is slow to respond

## How this service works

Token risk check (lite) for agents that buy, snipe or route swaps: verdict DANGER/HIGH_RISK/CAUTION/LOW_RISK, 0–100 score, honeypot, buy/sell tax, mintable, critical/high flag ids and the top 3 issues. Base default; ethereum, bsc, arbitrum, polygon, optimism, avalanche via ?chain=, or a Solana mint. Full report: /v1/token/verdict. Market data only — not investment advice.

## Output

Returns a structured risk report including: a verdict label (DANGER, HIGH_RISK, CAUTION, or LOW_RISK), a numeric risk score from 0 to 100, a honeypot boolean, buy tax and sell tax percentages, a mintable flag, a list of critical and high-severity flag IDs, and the top 3 identified issues for the token. The full detailed report is available at /v1/token/verdict.
