Stablecoin Scanner (StableScan) tools 8
get_address_approvalsOpen ERC-20 and Permit2 allowances one address has granted on one chain, one row per spender and token with the raw value, unlimited/oversized/old flags, spender_class and a band (critical|high|low|expired|none): unlimited to a flagged or unknown spender is the main drain vector, a known service spender (DEX router, Permit2) is normal, an expired Permit2 sub-allowance reads 'expired'. Use it when the question is what a wallet has approved and who could pull its stablecoins. Not for a risk tier — the band is informational and never moves get_address_risk. Not for issuer freezes: get_address_compliance. Not for taint: get_address_exposure. address is the allowance owner (the granter), never the spender. Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. A heuristic band over decoded on-chain Approval facts, not an AML or legal determination.get_address_complianceIssuer freeze/seize facts for one address on one chain, plus the OFAC SDN flag: freeze[] (one row per freeze-capable stablecoin, status frozen|seized|clear|unknown, with frozen_usd6 = the balance locked now where it was read), not_freezable[] (stablecoins whose issuer cannot freeze on this chain, e.g. the Binance-Peg wrappers on BNB Chain — enforcement is off-chain), frozen_elsewhere[] (the same address bytes under a standing freeze on another indexed chain; EVM and Tron share them, Solana never) and freeze_proposals[] (issuer multisig proposals naming the address, USDT on Ethereum and Tron: executed ones, pending only where the operator publishes them). Use it when the question is whether an issuer or OFAC acted on this address, or how much is frozen. Not for a risk tier: get_address_risk. Not for taint distance: get_address_exposure. Not for when the OFAC list was refreshed: get_sanctions_status. Decoded on-chain issuer acts with provenance, no heuristics. 'unknown' means no act names the address and that pair's freeze history is not fully backfilled yet — absence of evidence is not 'not frozen'; an empty frozen_elsewhere[] or freeze_proposals[] means none in what is indexed, not clean everywhere. Each chain is its own issuer act: pass chain to ask Ethereum or Tron about the same bytes, chains_with_data says where. Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. Not an identity, AML or legal determination.get_address_exposureTaint exposure of one address on one chain: a bounded backward walk over the value graph to the nearest OFAC-sanctioned or hack/drainer/mixer root, answered as a class (sanctioned|direct|indirect|negligible|unknown|none), the nearest hop and a value-proportional haircut fraction. Use it to explain how closely an address is tied to a sanctioned or hack root and by how much value. Not for one go/no-go tier — get_address_risk already includes this walk. Not for the counterparties themselves or a chosen depth, token or window: get_wallet_graph_walk. Not for issuer freezes: get_address_compliance. 'unknown' means the walk did not complete — OFAC list unloaded, time_budget, frontier_cap, Solana coverage pending or partial, short history, or no hack/drainer/mixer label loaded for this chain — never a false 'none'; incomplete_reasons names which (time_budget may complete at a quieter moment, frontier_cap repeats). Depth is fixed at 3 hops and the walk never crosses chains: ask again with chain set for each network in chains_with_data. A verdict is reused for up to 60 s (10 s after a time_budget cut). Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. A heuristic signal, not an AML or legal determination.get_address_riskUnified risk tier for one address on one chain — unknown|none|low|medium|high|severe — from decoded facts (OFAC listing, issuer freeze/seize on this chain, exposure to a sanctioned or hack root) and attributed labels with provenance (labels alone cap at medium; a lone-source accusation adds no tier). Use it for one go/no-go read before accepting or sending funds. Not for freeze proposals, frozen balances or a freeze on another chain (frozen_elsewhere): get_address_compliance. Not for taint hops or the haircut: get_address_exposure. Not for open allowances: get_address_approvals. 'unknown' means the check did not finish, never 'checked clean'; evidence and incomplete_reasons name the cause (e.g. time_budget: the exposure walk was cut, a quieter moment may complete it). The freeze input is this chain's per-token status alone: frozen/seized argues for high, and an 'unknown' status or a pair whose freeze history is not backfilled turns a would-be 'none' into 'unknown' — so a Solana tier, where every freeze pair is unknown, is never 'none'. The exposure walk behind the tier is fixed at 3 hops; pick depth and window with get_wallet_graph_walk. A verdict is reused for up to 60 s (10 s after a time_budget cut). Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. Not an identity, AML or legal determination.get_recent_transactionsRecent stablecoin transfers on one chain, newest first, filterable by payer and/or recipient, cursor-paginated. Use it for the latest transfers of an address or of the whole chain, with a tx_hash to cite. Not for who an address settles with over time: get_wallet_graph_walk. Not for how fresh the feed is: get_sync_status. Not for any verdict about an address: get_address_risk. Answer: items[], each row tx_hash, log_index, block_number, block_time (RFC 3339), payer, recipient, amount {amount (minor units, string), decimals, token (symbol)}, token (the contract address), finality, and usd_amount where priced. The chain is the one asked for — rows do not repeat it. payer and recipient narrow together; omit both for the chain-wide feed; pass next_cursor back unchanged as cursor for older rows, and a page without it is the last. Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. Plain on-chain Transfer facts, no scoring.get_sanctions_statusOFAC SDN list coverage as this scanner holds it: evm_count, solana_count, tron_count and total addresses loaded (the free public 0xB10C list of US-Government public-domain data), updated_at of the last refresh (null until the first ingest) and the source. Use it to date the sanctions input behind a verdict, or to tell a clear OFAC flag from an unloaded list. Not for whether one address is listed: get_address_compliance (the flag) or get_address_risk (the tier). Not for indexer freshness: get_sync_status. No parameters; one answer covers every chain. Light read, never waits for a slot. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. Verify against the official SDN list before acting on it; not legal advice.get_sync_statusIndexer freshness for one chain: freshness_seconds (the age of the newest indexed transfer; null when it could not be read for this answer), the indexer's head and finalized blocks, its safe block and its lag in blocks (lag_blocks = head_block - last_indexed_block). Use it before trusting how recent an address answer is, or to tell an empty feed from a stalled indexer. Not for how fresh the OFAC list is: get_sanctions_status. Every address verdict already carries freshness_seconds, so call this only for the block numbers or for a chain you have not asked about yet. On Solana (chain -1) safe_block is the finalized slot, and lag_blocks is near 0 by construction and never negative, so it is not a freshness signal there: read freshness_seconds. On the EVM chains and Tron a negative lag_blocks means the node's head went back. chain is the only parameter; omit it for Base. Light read, never waits for a slot. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools.get_wallet_graph_walkBounded walk over the indexed settlement graph of one stablecoin from one wallet on one chain: payer<->recipient hops with value-weighted scores, entity-aware node keys, a stop at known services and sanctioned-node markers. Use it to explain who an address settles with and through which hops. Not for a verdict: get_address_risk. Not for the taint class or haircut: get_address_exposure. Not for a flat list of transfers with tx hashes: get_recent_transactions. token is required and must be a stablecoin enabled on that chain (a refusal names them); hops=0 with stop_on_sanctioned=true is the cheapest check of the subject itself; subjects over the degree gate (~50k edge-rows) return hop 1 only with frontier_truncated=true. Heavy read: under load it answers busy or timeout — retry with backoff, a narrower window or a lower frontier_cap. No auth; 1200 requests/min shared by all tools. An explainability primitive, not a detector verdict, identity/control assertion, AML decision or legal advice. window_from present means the answer was built from that date, the edge-grain horizon, not from the start of the requested window; the default window all, 90d and 1y included (/v1/methodology edge_grain_horizon). When window_from is present, read the graph as covering that span only — do not treat the absence of a counterparty, a path or a sanctioned node as evidence about anything before that date. volume on nodes is the token's raw minor units (divide by 10^decimals); volume_usd6 is the same amount in USD with 6 decimals at peg 1. On Solana (chain -1) the answer carries coverage_status for the subject address only, never for its counterparties: pending — its history is still being filled, so an empty or small answer is not final; partial — filled to a documented bound. The walk shows a finished fill after the next Solana rollup pass (about 10 minutes), and never shows history older than window_from. This read never starts a fill, so pending can also mean none was asked for yet: one compliance read of the address asks for it. A Solana answer without coverage_status could not read it in time — treat it as pending. On Solana (chain -1) the edge grain of 2026-07-20..2026-09-14 is incomplete: those days hold part of their transfers or none, because their raw rows were offloaded before a fix reached production on 2026-09-17; they are not restored, and answers do not mark them (decision of 2026-09-17). Solana's grain is never trimmed, so there the horizon that window_from reports is not where retained data ends: once window_from is later than 2026-09-14 the answer holds none of those days. An answer that reaches them — window_from on or before 2026-09-14, or no window_from over a window that includes them — counts them as floors: at least this much, never the whole, and a counterparty, path or sanctioned node missing from those days is not evidence that there was none.
X402 List MCP tools 7
x402_search_servicesYour first call when you do not know which x402 service exists for a job: it narrows a directory of 500+ listed services to candidates. Filter by free-text query, category, network, live status, and whether the last observed 402 envelope is signable by a standard x402 client; sort by newest, uptime, cheapest, or endpoints. Returns up to 100 compact summaries a page: price in decimal USD, uptime, status, verification. Then x402_get_service for the full record.x402_get_serviceCall this once you hold a slug and are deciding whether to commit to that service: the full record behind a directory row. Live status, uptime over 24h/7d/30d/90d, average response time, networks and settlement asset, every priced endpoint, and the assessment block. include_series=true adds 90 daily points of on-chain volume and distinct buyers. Read the units map in the response: the per-endpoint price field is atomic token units, not dollars.x402_find_best_serviceCall this when you have a need in words and want one service to call rather than a list to read: it is the free ranking step between searching and paying. Pass the need as q, plus any category, network, price cap or verification requirement, and get up to 20 ranked recommendations with the basis each one placed on. Ranking is mostly per-service reliability (live status, verification, uptime, response time), x402 compliance, and price in USD, with a small (about 10%) weight on measured on-chain settlement traction that can never dominate those three. The response carries ranking_version (currently 3), need_blind_ranking (true when no q was given, so the order is global quality rather than your need), and a units map holding every scoring caveat in full: the compliance cap, the pro-quota rule for shared payout addresses, renormalization, the $10 volume floor, and the single-buyer discount. Read units before comparing scores across generations.x402_check_healthCall this before you send a payment, or right after a call unexpectedly failed: is this service up right now. With no slug, the directory snapshot: five status counts across 500+ services (include_services=true attaches every row). With a slug: that service's status, its 24h/7d/30d/90d uptime windows, response time, consecutive failures, daily snapshots. No money fields.x402_facilitator_volumesCall this when the question is about the rail rather than the service: which x402 facilitator actually settles money, and how much. Returns on-chain-verified settlement volume and transaction counts per facilitator for today (UTC), 7d, 30d and all-time, plus a verification flag ('on-chain' once volume has been observed on-chain, else 'listed'), across more than 30 facilitators. Optional daily timeseries (up to 90 days) and per-chain breakdown. Volume is decimal USD. Caveats: PER-FACILITATOR, never per-service; the *_24h fields cover today (UTC) so far, not a trailing 24 hours, and reset at 00:00 UTC, so prefer 7d.x402_assess_servicesCall this when the free signals have run out: you hold 2 to 8 finalists from x402_search_services or x402_find_best_service, their stored fields do not separate them for YOUR stated need, and choosing wrong costs more than a quarter. It buys one fresh AI assessment reasoned against your question, not a cached grade; reading an already-computed assessment stays free via x402_get_service. Price: a one-time $0.25 USDC on Base, over two calls. Call once WITHOUT payment_signature_b64 to receive the x402 payment challenge verbatim (accepts[], amount, payTo, and a base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header); sign accepts[0] client-side with your own wallet; call again with the SAME question and services plus payment_signature_b64 to receive the report and a base64 PAYMENT-RESPONSE settlement receipt. This server holds no keys, never signs and never settles: it only relays the challenge. Optionally add probe { slug, endpoint_path? } to have one listed service paid and called for real and its answer analyzed: the challenge is then priced at $0.25 plus that endpoint price X, and the report gains a probe_report block with a verdict and truncated extracts, never the verbatim third-party body. When live probing is not armed the probe is ignored. Caveats: read the amount to sign from accepts[0].amount, never from a fixed figure, since a probe changes it; probe fees are non-refundable whatever the verdict; if the fresh run cannot be produced the server answers before settling, so you are never charged for nothing; there is no refund. Prices are US dollars.x402_change_eventsCall this before you trust anything you cached about a service, and right after a payment failed for no obvious reason: the monitor's log of what moved under you. Returns payTo, price and 402-schema changes observed on listed services, most recent first, in exactly three event types (payto_changed, price_changed, schema_changed). Filter with service (the slug), type, and days (1 to 365, default 90). Caveats: prices here are atomic token amounts, never dollars, and every payTo is masked by design, so the feed reports THAT the payout address changed, never the address. Free and read-only.
