# Solana Validator Risk Vet

> Solana Validator Risk Vet is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a delegation-risk verdict (safe/caution/avoid/not_found) and 0-100 risk score for a Solana validator based on on-chain delinquency, commission, skip-rate, vote credits, version lag, and superminority data.

## 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 solana-validator-risk-vet-b7f820c6
```

Example prompt: Can you vet the Solana validator with vote account pubkey 7dD7HfFCpYFJLMqp3VfwYBQxnPe3LY8nGdJQFZ2kXr9A and tell me whether it's safe to delegate to — include commission history if you can?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent or user needs an objective, deterministic, multi-signal risk assessment of a specific Solana validator before delegating stake. Prefer it over generic blockchain explorers when you need a machine-readable verdict with dimensional breakdown rather than raw on-chain stats. Ideal for automated staking workflows that require a pass/fail gate before submitting delegation transactions.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown pubkey returns verdict not_found with score 0
- Invalid base58 pubkey format returns 400 bad request
- RPC or on-chain data unavailable returns 503 or error response
- Validator with no historical data may have incomplete signal coverage
- Payment not included or insufficient returns 402 payment required

## How this service works

Delegation-risk verdict for a Solana validator from public on-chain data. Give one of vote (vote-account) or identity (node) pubkey and get a verdict of safe, caution, avoid or not_found, a 0-100 risk score, per-dimension flags, reasons and weighted signals across delinquency, commission, commission-rug history, skip-rate percentile, vote-credit performance, agent version lag and superminority concentration. Deterministic, no LLM. Risk indicators, not financial or staking advice.

## Output

Returns a verdict string (safe, caution, avoid, or not_found), a numeric risk score 0-100, per-dimension boolean flags, human-readable reasons, and weighted signals covering delinquency, commission level, commission-rug events, skip-rate percentile, vote-credit performance, validator client version lag, and superminority concentration. Optionally includes a commission-history summary.
