# RugGuard Pre-Trade Rug Check API

> RugGuard Pre-Trade Rug Check API is a paid API for AI agents from rugguard.redfleet.fr, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Scans a crypto smart contract on Base or Solana for rug pull risk signals, returning a 0–100 risk score, verdict, and specific heuristic flags

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 rugguard-pre-trade-rug-check-api-54f9552b
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token, can you run a rug check on contract 0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed on Base — I want to know the risk score, verdict, and any critical flags like unlocked LP or active mint authority.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs a fast, pay-per-call rug pull risk assessment for a specific smart contract on Base or Solana before executing or recommending a token purchase. Prefer it over manual on-chain analysis when speed and structured output (score + flags) are needed. It requires no API key — only a per-call x402 USDC micropayment — making it ideal for agentic workflows that need deterministic risk gating without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid chain value (not 'base' or 'solana') returns 422 validation error
- Malformed contract address returns 422 or 400
- Contract not found or too new returns verdict 'uncertain' with low score_confidence
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC returns 402 Payment Required
- Data too sparse for reliable scoring returns verdict 'uncertain'
- Rate limiting or upstream data provider errors may return 5xx

## How this service works

Pay-per-call rug check for crypto smart contracts. Built for AI agents on Agentic.market (x402). USDC fractional pricing, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 0–100 integer risk score (0=safe, 100=critical), a verdict string (safe/low_risk/medium_risk/high_risk/critical/uncertain), an array of heuristic flags with severity levels (low/medium/high/critical), a summary object covering honeypot status, LP lock, mint authority, owner renounced, buy/sell tax percentages, and top-10 holder concentration, plus a scan ID, timestamp, and cache hit indicator.
