# NIGHTSHIFT Token Verdict API

> NIGHTSHIFT Token Verdict API is a paid API for AI agents from getnightshift.tech, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-26).

Returns a pre-buy safety verdict (no_issues_found / caution / avoid) for an Ethereum token by running multi-factor checks including owner powers, liquidity, holder analysis, buy-sell simulation, and IMD/Uniswap v4 hook compatibility.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 nightshift-token-verdict-api-3c5eb1f0
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token, can you run a quick NIGHTSHIFT verdict on Ethereum token 0xAbC...123 and tell me if it's safe — check for mint powers, blacklist, rug risk, and whether it's a legit IMD launch?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent or user needs a fast, multi-factor pre-buy safety verdict on an Ethereum token — especially for IMD-ecosystem launches or Uniswap v4 hook tokens. It uniquely combines owner power detection, buy-sell simulation, IMD launch verification, and copycat symbol detection in a single call. Prefer the deep mode when a written explanation and hook inspection are needed. Alternatives like generic token scanners lack IMD-specific checks and v4 hook awareness.

## Known failure modes

- Token contract address not found on specified chain — returns error or low-confidence result
- Chain not supported — returns validation error
- Checks partially skipped if on-chain data is unavailable — listed in unknowns array
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Deep mode timeout if hook inspection takes too long
- Unverified source code means some checks cannot complete

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs a pre-buy verdict on an Ethereum token, made for IMD launches and Uniswap v4 hook tokens: no_issues_found / caution / avoid with cited reasons and the checks that could not run. Checks IMD launch match, verified source, owner powers (mint, pause, blacklist, fees, proxy), liquidity and v4 pool, holders, a buy-then-sell simulation and copycat symbols. Run by NIGHTSHIFT.

## Output

A structured JSON verdict containing: a top-level verdict enum (no_issues_found / caution / avoid), a plain-English summary, a confidence object with level and score, an array of reasons each with impact severity and evidence, IMD launch match details, owner power flags, liquidity/pool data, holder distribution, buy-sell simulation results, copycat symbol check, and (in deep mode) a full written explanation. Also includes a list of checks that could not run due to missing data.
