# Market Intelligence API – Token Risk Check

> Market Intelligence API – Token Risk Check 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).

Returns a comprehensive risk assessment for an on-chain token by address, including safety score, contract analysis, liquidity metrics, buy/sell simulation results, and a final risk 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-token-risk-check-211fe761
```

Example prompt: Before I buy, can you run a full token risk check on the Base contract 0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631 — I want to see the safety score, whether it can mint new supply, liquidity depth, and whether sells actually go through?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a holistic, pre-trade risk verdict for an on-chain token — especially when evaluating unknown or newly launched tokens for honeypot patterns, minting risks, liquidity health, and sell-side simulation. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need a single structured risk score and actionable verdict rather than raw contract data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error or empty result
- Token not found on the specified chain returns null or 404-equivalent
- Newly deployed contracts with no trade history may have incomplete simulation data
- Very low liquidity tokens may return inconclusive simulation results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call under x402 protocol

## How this service works

Pay-per-call market intelligence for AI agents across crypto, US and European stocks, rates and FX: on-chain buy/sell pressure, trading decisions from $0.05, token risk checks on six chains, webhook alerts, pre-trade verdicts, technicals, perps funding, smart money, SEC and ESEF fundamentals, insider trades, European short interest, ECB rates and FX, datasets and news.

## Output

A JSON object containing: overall risk verdict (e.g. LOW_RISK), a numeric safety score (0–100), individual check results (sell simulation pass/fail, liquidity depth), contract flags (proxy, upgradeable, admin functions like MINT), liquidity breakdown (total USD, LP burned %), token metadata (name, symbol, decimals), trade flow verdict (BALANCED/etc.), and buy/sell simulation outcomes with observed tax percentages.
