# ISHOB Token Safety & Scam Checker

> ISHOB Token Safety & Scam Checker is a paid API for AI agents from api.ishob.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).

Performs a comprehensive token safety and scam audit for ERC-20 or SPL tokens, returning honeypot detection, tax analysis, privilege flags, LP lock status, holder concentration, and a severity-ranked risk level.

## 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 ishob-token-safety-scam-checker-86a54f18 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a full scam and honeypot check on this Base chain token at address 0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed — I want to know the risk level, whether it's a honeypot, what the buy/sell taxes are, and any dangerous owner privileges?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, multi-source token safety audit combining GoPlus Security honeypot simulation with independent on-chain checks (proxy slots, mint/freeze authority, Token-2022 extensions) across seven major chains. It is especially valuable when you need severity-ranked flags and a single risk_level verdict rather than raw on-chain data, and when you want LP lock percentage and holder concentration in one call without integrating multiple APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported contract address format returns a validation error
- Unsupported chain value not in the enum returns a 400 error
- Token not yet indexed or very new may return incomplete flag data
- Network timeouts from on-chain or GoPlus data sources may cause delayed or partial responses
- Unverified source code may limit depth of analysis flags

## How this service works

Token safety & scam check for an ERC-20 (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain) or SPL mint (Solana): honeypot simulation, buy/sell tax, mint / blacklist / pause / owner privileges, LP lock, holder concentration (Powered by GoPlus Security) plus our own on-chain checks (proxy slots, owner, verified source, mint/freeze authority, Token-2022 extensions). Returns severity-ranked flags and a risk level.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a list of severity-ranked flags (each with an id, source, message, and severity level), buy and sell tax percentages, token name and symbol, an overall risk_level (e.g. low/medium/high), a boolean is_honeypot field, and an attribution note crediting GoPlus Security plus ISHOB's own on-chain checks.
