## 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 saylor-innovations-guide-library-honeypot-token-contract-on-chain-guide-e9ba6bdf
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Saylor Innovations guide on what a honeypot token contract looks like on-chain? I want to understand the red flags and OpSec patterns to watch for before interacting with an unknown token.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs a curated, human-readable educational guide specifically about honeypot token contract patterns on-chain, particularly for DeFi security research, token auditing, or OpSec training. Prefer this over raw blockchain data endpoints when the goal is understanding and explanation rather than live on-chain queries.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or invalid x402 payment header returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout if the knowledge base service is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed request missing required 'type' or 'method' fields returns a validation error
- Article not found if the slug has changed or been removed

## How this service works

What a Honeypot Token Contract Looks Like On-Chain. The common mechanisms behind honeypot token contracts — sell-path reverts, disguised extreme sell taxes, allowlist-gated transfers, and blacklist functions added post-launch — plus how a simulated-sell check works and why source-code review alone misses most of them.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the guide article body as a string, along with an ID, title, content type, and optional price and license fields. The body contains the full text of the security and OpSec guide explaining on-chain honeypot token patterns, red flags, and detection techniques.
