# ERC-20 Token Rug-Check Risk Score

> ERC-20 Token Rug-Check Risk Score is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns a deterministic 0-100 composite risk score for an ERC-20 token across six dimensions including contract integrity, ownership, liquidity, and honeypot detection.

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 erc-20-token-rug-check-risk-score-49773608
```

Example prompt: Can you run a rug-check on the token at 0x6982508145454Ce325dDbE47a25d4ec3d2311933 on Ethereum and tell me the risk score, category, and any honeypot or ownership flags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a quick, structured, multi-dimensional risk score for an ERC-20 token before executing a swap, investment, or any DeFi interaction. Prefer this over manual contract inspection when you need a single normalized score across honeypot, liquidity, ownership concentration, and contract integrity signals in one call. Best suited for multi-chain EVM tokens on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-checksummed token address returns a 400-level error
- Token address not found on the specified network returns a not-found or zero-data response
- Unsupported network value returns a validation error
- Intermittent RPC or indexer latency may cause timeouts on very new or low-liquidity tokens

## How this service works

Composite rug-check risk score for an ERC-20 token: a 0-100 score, a category (low/medium/high/critical), per-dimension flags, reasons and weighted signals. Scored deterministically across six dimensions — contract integrity, ownership, holder concentration, liquidity, honeypot and age. Multi-chain EVM. Automated risk indicators, not financial advice.

## Output

Returns a 0-100 composite risk score, a category label (low/medium/high/critical), per-dimension boolean flags (contract integrity, ownership, holder concentration, liquidity, honeypot, age), human-readable reasons, and weighted signal breakdown — all computed deterministically from on-chain data.
