# Screen an ERC-20/BEP-20 token contract for honeypot, mintable-supply, hidden-owner, and other rug-pull risk signals before your agent trades it

`POST /v1/payg/token-security`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.relayshield.net`
- URL: `https://api.relayshield.net/v1/payg/token-security`
- Auth: none required

Screen an ERC-20/BEP-20 token contract for honeypot, mintable-supply, hidden-owner, and other rug-pull risk signals before your agent trades it. Returns risk level, specific critical/warning flags, and basic token metadata. Call before an autonomous trading agent buys or approves spending on an unfamiliar token.

**Billing.** $0.05 in USDC per call over x402, on Base or Solana. No API key, no signup and no
subscription. Send the request with no payment header, take the `402` challenge that comes back,
pay it, and repeat the request. Only successful calls are charged.

## Request body

- object
  - `contract_address` string, required: EVM token contract address
  - `chain_id` string: EVM chain ID (default: 1 for Ethereum)

## Response `200`

Payment settled and the check ran. `ok` is true and `data` holds the result.

- object
  - `ok` true, required
  - `data` object, required

## Other responses

- `400`: A required field is missing or malformed. Never billed.
- `402`: Payment required. The body carries a complete x402 version 2 challenge with the accepted networks, the amount in USDC base units, and the recipient. Pay it and repeat the request with the payment header.
- `405`: Wrong HTTP method. Every endpoint is POST.
