## 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 hostdefi-token-risk-scanner-d2efa655 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the safety risk score for the Solana token at contract address DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263? I want to know if it's safe to buy before I swap into it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a fast, structured safety assessment of a specific Solana or EVM token before executing a swap or investment decision. It is especially useful for filtering out scam tokens, rug pulls, and low-liquidity traps at $0.02 per call — much cheaper than building bespoke on-chain analysis. Prefer it over general blockchain explorers when you need a single normalized risk grade rather than raw transaction data.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unresolvable token address returns an error or empty result
- Ambiguous ticker/name with multiple liquidity matches may resolve to an unexpected token
- Newly launched tokens with insufficient on-chain history may return incomplete signals
- Network or RPC errors from the Solana chain may delay or fail the response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in a 402 response before the scan runs

## How this service works

HostDeFi is a Solana DEX with a free token safety scanner. Best-route swaps through Jupiter, EVM trading across 7 chains, native bridging, and live token risk grades. No KYC, 1% flat fee.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a risk grade (letter, e.g. 'B'), a numeric risk score (0-100), a human-readable verdict string, the token's chain and symbol, and a signals object containing the underlying on-chain risk indicators used to compute the grade.
