# validator-vet

> validator-vet is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Returns a delegation-risk verdict (safe/caution/avoid/not_found) and 0-100 risk score for a Solana validator, with per-dimension flags across delinquency, commission, skip-rate, vote-credit performance, version lag, and superminority concentration.

## 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 validator-vet-91901c0b
```

Example prompt: Can you check the delegation risk for Solana validator with vote account pubkey 'J2S9H3QjLrCSe1A52KSBbtkxmWqsFyR7sDtEmKeNpJsU' and include its commission history?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, multi-dimensional risk assessment of a specific Solana validator before delegating stake or including it in a staking pool — especially when you want quantified signals (delinquency, commission rug, skip-rate percentile, superminority) in a single call without building your own on-chain analytics pipeline. Prefer it over raw RPC queries when you need a normalized 0-100 score and a simple safe/caution/avoid verdict for automated decision-making.

## Known failure modes

- Pubkey not found on-chain returns verdict 'not_found'
- Neither vote nor identity pubkey provided returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid base58 pubkey format causes a parse error
- RPC or on-chain data temporarily unavailable may return a 503
- Validator with no historical data may have limited signal coverage and lower confidence scores

## How this service works

Delegation-risk verdict for a Solana validator from public on-chain data. Give one of vote (vote-account) or identity (node) pubkey and get a verdict of safe, caution, avoid or not_found, a 0-100 risk score, per-dimension flags, reasons and weighted signals across delinquency, commission, commission-rug history, skip-rate percentile, vote-credit performance, agent version lag and superminority concentration. Deterministic, no LLM. Risk indicators, not financial or staking advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing a verdict string (safe, caution, avoid, or not_found), a 0-100 integer risk score, per-dimension boolean flags (delinquency, commission, commission-rug history, skip-rate percentile, vote-credit performance, agent version lag, superminority concentration), human-readable reason strings, and weighted signals contributing to the score. Optionally includes a commission-history summary.
