honeypot-detector-mcp
Analyzes tokens on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to detect honeypot tokens, offering insights on buy/sell restrictions, tax rates, and overall risk assessment.
Analyzes tokens on the Ethereum blockchain to determine if they are potential honeypots, providing details on risk level, taxes, and contract code status.
Returns analysis results in Markdown format, including structured information about token details, honeypot status, and risk metrics.

Honeypot Detector MCP
An MCP server that detects potential honeypot tokens on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Base.
Honeypot is a type of fraudulent smart contract that allows users to buy tokens but prevents them from selling or makes selling extremely difficult.
Features
Honeypot Analysis: Check if a token address is a honeypot using the honeypot.is API.
Supported Chains: Analyzes tokens on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Base.
Markdown Output: Returns detailed analysis in Markdown, including:
Token name
Address
Honeypot status
Risk level
Buy, sell, and transfer taxes
Contract code open-source status

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the API source (honeypot.is) and supported networks, which is useful context, but does not mention rate limits, authentication needs, error handling, or what constitutes a 'honeypot' analysis. It adds some behavioral insight but leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by supported networks and a structured Args/Returns section. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (single parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is fairly complete: it covers purpose, supported networks, parameter semantics, and return format. However, it lacks details on behavioral aspects like rate limits or error cases, which would enhance completeness for an API-based tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It provides the parameter 'address' with a clear example (e.g., 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48) and explains it as 'Token address to check', adding meaningful context beyond the bare schema. However, it does not detail format constraints or validation rules.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Check if a token address is a honeypot') and resource ('using honeypot.is API'), with explicit mention of supported networks (Ethereum, BSC, Base). It distinguishes itself by specifying the API source and scope, though no sibling tools exist for comparison.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by specifying supported networks and providing an example address, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other security checks) or any prerequisites. Since no sibling tools exist, the context for alternatives is limited.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
TDQS
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool has a single, clearly defined purpose: checking if a token address is a honeypot.
The single tool name 'check_honeypot' follows a clear verb_noun pattern. Since there is only one tool, consistency is inherently perfect with no deviations to assess.
A single tool is too few for a server with 'detector' in its name, suggesting a broader scope. While the tool is functional, the server lacks supporting tools like listing recent honeypots, checking multiple addresses, or getting detailed statistics, making it feel thin and incomplete.
The server's purpose appears to be honeypot detection, but with only a check tool, there are significant gaps. Missing operations include batch checks, historical analysis, risk scoring, or integration with other security tools, which limits agent workflows and creates dead ends for complex tasks.
