# Token Metadata Lookup – Crypto Microdata for Agents (x402)

> Token Metadata Lookup – Crypto Microdata for Agents (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns on-chain metadata for an ERC20 or contract address on Base or Ethereum, including token details, proxy info, risk flags, and interface types, paid per-call via x402 USDC.

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-metadata-lookup-crypto-microdata-for-agents-x402-960ed160
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the token metadata for the contract address 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base — I want to know the token name, symbol, decimals, whether it's behind a proxy, and any risk flags like upgradeability or owner control?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to quickly classify and risk-assess a smart contract or ERC20 token address on Base or Ethereum mainnet without needing an API key. It is ideal for pre-trade safety checks, DeFi integration due diligence, identifying unknown tokens received in a wallet, or verifying proxy patterns before trusting a contract. Prefer it over block-explorer scraping or full node queries when you need structured, agent-ready JSON with risk flags and suggested follow-up endpoints, and when pay-per-call micro-billing via x402 USDC is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid address format (not matching ^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$) returns a 400 error
- Address is an EOA (externally owned account), not a contract — is_contract will be false
- Contract exists but is not a token — token fields may be null or absent
- Unsupported chain value (anything other than 'base' or 'eth') returns an error
- x402 payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or misconfigured wallet) blocks the call
- Network timeout or RPC unavailability on the target chain

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

A JSON object containing: contract kind (e.g. ERC20), token name/symbol/decimals/total supply, proxy details (type, admin, implementation, beacon), risk flags array (e.g. upgradeable_proxy, has_owner, admin_can_change_logic), owner address and whether renounced, ERC165/721/1155 interface support booleans, native ETH balance, code size in bytes, chain and chain_id, timestamp, and suggested next endpoint paths for further investigation.
