What it does

Maiat Token Safety is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Check if an ERC-20 token is safe before swapping. Detects honeypots, high-tax tokens, and rug pulls. Use before any token swap.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

Requirements

Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maiat Token Safety loads about 579 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~579

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Maiat Token Safety Check

Goal

Before swapping or buying any ERC-20 token, verify it's not a honeypot, high-tax scam, or rug pull.

Prerequisites

MoonPay CLI installed: npm install -g @moonpay/cli
A funded wallet on Base (for x402 paid endpoints): mp wallet create

Free API

bash

curl "https://app.maiat.io/api/v1/token/<contract_address>"

x402 Paid API ($0.01 USDC on Base)

Using MoonPay CLI:

bash

mp x402 request \
  --method GET \
  --url "https://app.maiat.io/api/x402/token-check?address=<contract_address>" \
  --wallet <wallet-name> \
  --chain base

Response

json

{
  "address": "0x...",
  "verdict": "proceed",
  "trustScore": 85,
  "riskFlags": [],
  "riskSummary": "Token appears safe based on analysis."
}

Verdict meanings

Verdict	Meaning	Action
`trusted`	Verified safe token (e.g. USDC, WETH)	Safe to swap
`proceed`	No major red flags detected	Safe to swap
`caution`	Some risk signals present	Proceed with small amounts
`avoid`	High risk — honeypot or scam likely	Do not swap

Risk flags

Common riskFlags values:

Flag	Meaning
`HONEYPOT_DETECTED`	Cannot sell after buying — do not buy
`HIGH_BUY_TAX`	Buy tax > 25%
`HIGH_SELL_TAX`	Sell tax > 25%
`NEAR_ZERO_LIQUIDITY`	Liquidity too low to trade safely
`UNVERIFIED`	Contract simulation failed

Deep forensics ($0.05)

For suspicious tokens, run Wadjet ML analysis:

bash

mp x402 request \
  --method POST \
  --url "https://app.maiat.io/api/x402/token-forensics" \
  --body '{"projectName": "<token_name>"}' \
  --wallet <wallet-name> \
  --chain base

When to use

Before swapping into any unknown token
Before adding liquidity to a new pool
When a user asks to buy a meme coin
$0.01 is cheaper than losing funds to a rug pull

maiat-trust-check — Agent trust score verification
moonpay-swap-tokens — Execute swaps after safety check
moonpay-discover-tokens — Find tokens, then verify with Maiat
