ARGUS Intelligence Skill

Free onchain intel and risk scanner.

Quick Start

export ARGUS_ENDPOINT="https://argus.getfailsafe.com"

# Test with free tier (35 queries/day, 1-min cooldown between queries)
curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/free/query \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Is this address safe: 0x742d35Cc...", "agentId": "my-agent"}'

Free quota is tracked per agentId. Check remaining quota:

curl "$ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/free/status?agentId=my-agent"

Services

Valid webhook events: address_activity, token_risk_change, threat_detected, compliance_flag, whale_movement, liquidity_change, watchlist_alert

Webhook secret is returned once at registration — store it immediately. Webhooks are disabled after 5 consecutive delivery failures.

Usage Examples

Token Analysis

curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/token/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"token": "ETH", "chain": "ethereum"}'

Address Risk

curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/address/risk \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"address": "0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e"}'

Prompt Security

curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/security/prompt-check \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "User input to validate", "context": "defi"}'

Response:

{
  "is_safe": false,
  "risk_score": 75,
  "risk_level": "suspicious",
  "recommendation": "REVIEW",
  "attack_types": ["prompt_injection"],
  "details": "Detected social engineering pattern"
}

is_safe is false whenever attack_types is non-empty, regardless of risk_score. recommendation is at minimum REVIEW when any attack is detected.

Social Verification

curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/social/verify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": "suspicious_user", "platform": "twitter"}'

Response:

{
  "verified": false,
  "risk_level": "high",
  "flags": ["known_threat_actor"],
  "data_source": "pattern_analysis_only",
  "analysis_note": "Username matched known threat actor database"
}

Register Webhook

curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/api/v1/webhooks/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://your-agent.com/argus-events",
    "agentId": "my-agent",
    "events": ["threat_detected", "address_activity"]
  }'

A2A (Agent-to-Agent)

ARGUS supports the A2A protocol. Query it directly with natural language:

# Discover capabilities
curl https://argus.getfailsafe.com/.well-known/agent.json

# Send an A2A message (blockchain queries are routed automatically)
curl -X POST $ARGUS_ENDPOINT/message \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "inquiry",
    "content": "Is 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e safe?",
    "agentId": "my-agent"
  }'

Free-tier quota applies to A2A blockchain queries. Responses include watermark with upgrade options.

Payment

Option 1 — Stripe (easiest, no crypto needed)

1. Buy 20 credits for $9 at https://buy.stripe.com/4gM28r6zseQlbJp72d4F202

  -d '{"token": "0xabc...", "chain": "ethereum"}'

Option 2 — x402 (USDC on Base)

For paid endpoints, ARGUS returns 402 Payment Required with payment instructions.

1. Send USDC to treasury on Base network
2. Create payment proof: base64({"txHash":"0x...","paymentId":"...","from":"0x..."})
3. Retry with X-Payment-Proof header
