# Token Analysis API

> Token Analysis API is a paid API for AI agents from ari001.tailb4ac3a.ts.net, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).

Returns an AI-written grade (BASED/MID/COOKED/RADIOACTIVE), one-liner, roast, and on-chain facts for a given ERC-20 token contract address

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://ari001.tailb4ac3a.ts.net/v1/ventures/token_verdict_api/token_analysis_api?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-23

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 token-analysis-api-e729cea8
```

Example prompt: Can you run the token verdict on 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 and tell me its grade and roast?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick AI-generated qualitative verdict on a token contract's on-chain structure — specifically its proxy upgradeability and owner status — expressed as a memorable grade and roast. Prefer it over raw RPC calls when you want a human-readable summary with a grade and wit rather than raw state data. Note: it does not assess liquidity, holder distribution, or price — for those signals, use a dedicated on-chain analytics or DEX data endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Address not a contract (returns RADIOACTIVE grade with is_contract: false)
- Address not ERC-20 shaped — missing decimals or totalSupply — returns RADIOACTIVE
- Invalid address format (not 0x + 40 hex) returns 400 validation error
- Network or RPC read failure returns ok: false with error field
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

AI-driven token verdict API: returns a grade (BASED/MID/COOKED/RADIOACTIVE), a one-liner, a roast, and facts read… Returns: an AI-written token verdict on one token contract: grade (BASED/MID/COOKED/RADIOACTIVE, a stated rule over the contract's own state), a one-liner and a roast, and the facts read: code size, name, symbol, decimals, supply, owner(), proxy slots. It does not read holders, liquidity or price and makes no safety or legitimacy call. Query: token (token contract, 0x + 40 hex).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a grade enum (BASED, MID, COOKED, or RADIOACTIVE) with its derivation rule, a short one-liner (≤60 chars), an AI-written roast (≤220 chars), the author flag (model or template), and a facts object with code_bytes, name, symbol, decimals, total_supply, owner, owner_renounced, proxy slot values, and erc20_shaped flag. Does not include holder counts, liquidity, or price data.
