## How this service works

Rug-safety scan of the tokens trending on a chain right now — mint, blacklist, pausable, tax, proxy, ownership. No input required.

## Output

Returns a list of currently trending tokens on the specified chain (up to the requested limit), each annotated with boolean or scored flags for: mint authority risk, blacklist capability, pausable contract, hidden/high taxes, proxy contract usage, and ownership concentration or renouncement status — enabling rapid rug-pull risk triage without manual contract inspection.
