# TokenGuard Base Token Risk Checker

> TokenGuard Base Token Risk Checker is a paid API for AI agents from tokenguard.imac2014ville.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Checks whether a Base-chain ERC-20 token is a honeypot, rug pull, or scam, returning a risk score, verdict, liquidity data, and sell simulation result.

## 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 tokenguard-base-token-risk-checker-4a891182
```

Example prompt: Is the Base token at contract address 0x940181a94A35A4569E4529a3CDfB74e38FD98631 safe to buy — is it a honeypot or rug pull risk?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call honeypot and rug-pull safety check specifically for Base-chain ERC-20 tokens, especially before executing a trade or snipe on a new token launch. Prefer this over general blockchain explorers when you need a structured risk verdict with sell simulation and liquidity data rather than raw on-chain data. Best suited for DeFi trading bots, token vetting workflows, and community safety checks on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-ERC-20 contract address returns an error or ok:false
- Contract address not deployed on Base network causes lookup failure
- Very new tokens with no liquidity may have incomplete simulation results
- Network congestion on Base may cause RPC timeout
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request

## How this service works

Honeypot check, rug pull check and scam token detector for Base tokens (is this token safe?), plus new token launches pre-screened for honeypots (sniper safety). No API key: pay USDC on Base per call via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: ok (boolean), verdict (e.g. LOW_RISK, HIGH_RISK, HONEYPOT), riskScore (0-100), flags (array of detected risk signals), token symbol, current price in USD, liquidity in USD, and a sellSimulation object indicating whether a sell transaction to the pool would succeed.
