## 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 gate402-token-risk-verdict-6f5f9e32 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I buy, run a rug and honeypot risk check on Base token 0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed — give me the safety verdict and risk score.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, actionable SAFE/CAUTION/AVOID judgment for a Base ERC-20 token before executing a trade, rather than assembling raw on-chain signals yourself. Prefer it over raw DEX data endpoints when you want honeypot simulation and holder concentration bundled into one opinionated risk score optimized for trading agents.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-ERC-20 contract address returns validation error
- Token not listed on any Base DEX may return insufficient data to score
- Very new tokens with no trading history may have limited signal accuracy
- Network congestion on Base may delay live simulation results
- Honeypot simulation may fail for contracts with unusual proxy patterns

## How this service works

Rug/tradeability risk VERDICT for a Base token: a 0-100 score and SAFE/CAUTION/AVOID call from liquidity depth, 24h volume, DEX diversity, pool age, ERC-20 validity, holder concentration, and a live honeypot/sell-tax simulation. Judgment for trading agents, not raw data.

## Output

Returns a 0-100 composite risk score (higher = riskier) and a categorical verdict of SAFE, CAUTION, or AVOID, derived from liquidity depth, 24h trading volume, number of DEX pools, pool age, ERC-20 contract validity, holder concentration metrics, and a live honeypot/sell-tax simulation. Designed as a direct trading judgment rather than raw data.
