## 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 ethereum-token-honeypot-risk-score-f1ee61d1
```

Example prompt: Can you check if this Ethereum token contract 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 is a honeypot — tell me if I can sell it, what the buy and sell taxes are, whether the owner has any dangerous privileges, and give me the overall risk score?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, consolidated token security assessment for an Ethereum mainnet ERC-20 token contract — specifically when you want honeypot detection, tax rates, owner privilege flags, and a single numerical risk score in one call. Prefer this over a generic block explorer lookup when you need a structured, agent-readable risk verdict without manually parsing contract bytecode or transaction history.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns a 400 error
- Address is a wallet rather than a token contract — may return an error or partial result
- Token contract not yet indexed or too new — may return incomplete data
- Network congestion causing slow on-chain lookups leading to timeout
- Non-ERC-20 contracts (e.g. NFT or proxy without token logic) may yield incomplete analysis

## How this service works

Honeypot check and token risk score for an Ethereum token contract address - can you sell it, buy and sell tax, owner privileges, rug pull signals and a 0-100 verdict

## Output

Returns a structured report for the given Ethereum token contract including: whether the token is a honeypot (boolean), whether the token can be sold, buy tax percentage, sell tax percentage, owner privilege flags (e.g. mint, blacklist, pause), specific rug pull risk signals, and a numeric risk verdict from 0 (safe) to 100 (high risk).
