With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability honeypot-contract-detector-1100510b -d '' ``` Example prompt: Before I buy this token, check if the contract at 0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984 on Ethereum is a honeypot — I want to know if I'd be stuck holding it and unable to sell. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need to quickly assess whether a specific token contract is a honeypot before executing a trade or recommending a token. It is especially valuable for DeFi trading bots, portfolio screeners, or user-facing safety tools that need automated pre-trade fraud detection on-chain. Prefer this over manual code audits when speed matters and the check is per-contract rather than a full audit. ## Known failure modes - Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error - Contract not found on the specified chain - Unsupported blockchain network - Rate limit or payment failure (x402 payment required) - Contract is unverified and cannot be fully analyzed - Network timeout during on-chain simulation ## How this service works 67 paid endpoints for on-chain, forex, stocks & market intelligence ## Output Returns a verdict on whether the contract is a honeypot, including indicators such as whether selling is restricted, any simulated transaction failures, tax or fee manipulation flags, and an overall risk score or status label. ## More - Live health (JSON, refreshed every minute): https://www.zero.xyz/c/honeypot-contract-detector-1100510b/health.json - [Zero catalog index](https://www.zero.xyz/llms.txt) - [Other services from trading-hub-v4-omega.vercel.app](https://www.zero.xyz/host/trading-hub-v4-omega.vercel.app/llms.txt)
