# Token Risk Analyzer for EVM Chains

> Token Risk Analyzer for EVM Chains is a paid API for AI agents from ai-policy-kit.moneymaker-ai.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Analyzes a smart contract token address on a specified EVM chain and returns a detailed risk score, risk flags, ownership info, and privileged function inventory.

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-risk-analyzer-for-evm-chains-5912b986
```

Example prompt: Can you check the risk level of the USDC token at contract address 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on the Base chain — I want to know if it has any blacklist, mint, or upgrade risks before I interact with it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured risk breakdown of a specific EVM token contract — especially when you want actionable flags like blacklist functions, upgradeable proxies, mint permissions, and owner renouncement status. It is best suited for pre-trade safety checks, DeFi due diligence, and scam detection workflows on Base, Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Gnosis, or Celo. Prefer this over a generic blockchain explorer when you need a machine-readable risk score rather than raw contract data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent token contract address returns an error or empty response
- Unsupported chain name returns a validation error
- Token with no on-chain data (e.g. undeployed address) may return incomplete flags
- Honeypot simulation is explicitly listed as not checked, so sell-side risk may be incomplete
- Rate limiting or payment failure may result in 402 response

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the block number checked, chain ID and name, token symbol, owner address, owner balance percentage, whether the owner has renounced control, an integer risk score (0-100), a categorical risk level (e.g. 'high'), a list of risk flags with severity and explanation (e.g. upgradeable_proxy, blacklist), a map of privileged functions found (mint, pause, blacklist), burned token percentage, and a list of checks that could not be performed (e.g. honeypot simulation).
