# Market Intelligence API – ERC-20 Token Risk Assessment

> Market Intelligence API – ERC-20 Token Risk Assessment is a paid API for AI agents from api.marketintelligenceapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Analyzes an ERC-20 token contract on Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism for rug-pull and honeypot risk, returning a safety score and verdict

## 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 market-intelligence-api-erc-20-token-risk-assessment-c1f97381
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token at 0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984 on Arbitrum, can you run a full honeypot and rug-pull check on it — I want to know the safety score, whether I can actually sell it, and if there are any mint or blacklist functions in the contract?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to evaluate the safety of a specific ERC-20 token on Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism before executing a trade or recommending a purchase. It is uniquely suited for honeypot detection combined with contract-level risk signals (mint, blacklist, pause, upgradeable proxy) in a single call, making it preferable over generic blockchain explorers or on-chain data APIs that do not simulate transactions or score risk.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns 400 error
- Contract address exists on unsupported chain returns error or empty result
- Unverified or very new contracts may have incomplete analysis
- Liquidity data unavailable for tokens with no DEX pairs
- Network-level RPC outages may cause timeouts

## How this service works

Token security audit and honeypot check, full report: EVM (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon) simulated sell and buy, owner, proxy, mint/blacklist/pause/fee functions, liquidity, LP burn, tax; Solana mint and freeze authority, Token-2022 fee, permanent delegate, transfer hook, top-wallet share. Verdict (LOW_RISK, CAUTION, HIGH_RISK) and a 0-100 safety score. Use for due diligence.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: a 0-100 safety score, a risk verdict (LOW_RISK, CAUTION, or HIGH_RISK), honeypot simulation results for both buy and sell transactions, contract ownership details, upgradeable proxy detection, presence of mint/blacklist/pause/fee functions, liquidity depth, LP burn percentage, and buy tax rate.
