## 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 trust-check-address-safety-token-scam-detector-5e173305
```

Example prompt: Before I send 500 USDC to 0x4a2b...f9c3 on Base, can you check if that address is safe — make sure it's not a scam address, a burn address, or a look-alike of one of my known wallets like 0x4a2b...f9c0?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to screen a Base blockchain address or token contract before executing a transaction, detecting honeypots, scam tokens, burn addresses, or address-poisoning look-alike attacks. It is purpose-built for Base and pays per call with x402/USDC, making it cost-effective since failed checks are not charged.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed address returns an error without charge
- Network or RPC issues may cause timeouts
- Non-Base chain addresses may return inaccurate or no results
- Address not found in any scam list may still carry undetected risks

## How this service works

Is this address safe to send funds to on Base? Checks scam blacklists, address poisoning (look-alikes of your recent counterparties via ?from=), token contracts, burn and never-used addresses. Returns a verdict with reasons.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a human-readable `summary` explaining the finding, a `verdict` (e.g. 'scam', 'safe'), and a numeric `riskScore` from 0–100 indicating danger level. For token checks it may also include details on honeypot simulation results, hidden taxes, owner privileges, and liquidity/whale risks.
