  description: 'Plain-English, deterministic decode of any Base mainnet transaction. Strict JSON: summary, action type, assets moved, labeled counterparties, risk flags, gas in USD. No LLM in the response path.'
  x-guidance: 'Two ways to call this. PLAIN HTTP: POST /explain with {"tx_hash":"0x..."} and read JSON back; it speaks x402, so an unpaid call returns a 402 challenge you pay and retry. MCP: this is also an MCP server (streamable HTTP). POST a JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope to /mcp with header "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream". Call method tools/call with name "explain_transaction" and arguments {"tx_hash": "0x..."} where tx_hash is a Base mainnet (chain id 8453) transaction hash. 50 free calls per 24h per IPv4 address or IPv6 /64; afterwards the server returns an x402 payment challenge for $0.02 USDC on Base — attach the payment payload at _meta["x402/payment"] per the x402 MCP transport and retry the same call. The result''s structuredContent field carries the explanation object.'

      description: Plain HTTP alternative to the MCP tool, for x402 clients that speak ordinary REST. POST {"tx_hash":"0x..."} or GET ?tx_hash=0x...; a bare GET returns the x402 402 challenge so crawlers and scanners read a live endpoint rather than a dead one. Same decode, same price, same free tier.

TWO OF THEM ARE STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT WE COULD NOT DETERMINE, and a consumer should branch on them rather than treat them as ordinary outcomes: `unknown` means there was nothing to go on at all, and `unrecognized_call` means we could not identify the contract or the function — no label for the target, no resolved function name, no decoded events. In the second case assets_moved may still be fully populated: not recognising the counterparty does not stop us reading transfer logs. Neither is a statement that nothing of note happened.'

Every check fails open: when an upstream source is unreachable no flag is emitted, which is indistinguishable in risk_flags from having looked and found nothing. An empty risk_flags is only meaningful when the relevant check is "ok" — alongside "partial", "unavailable", "inconclusive" or "not_covered" it means not checked, NOT clean. "unavailable" means the upstream sources were unreachable and a retry may get an answer; "inconclusive" means nothing failed but the check''s method cannot answer for this input, so a retry will not help (today: first_interaction for a sender with more history than the lookup reads). "not_covered" means this check does not run for the chain the transaction is on at all — a statement about our coverage, not about an upstream, and no retry changes it. Absence of a flag is never a safety guarantee.'

The JSON BODY does NOT repeat it: the body is a separate human-readable object whose fields are all strings — error, what_you_get, free_tier, price_usd, pay_per_call, funding, pass, buy_with_card, talk_to_us, docs, openapi. An x402 client reads the header; a person reading the body gets prose. (The /mcp 402 is different: MCP has no response headers, so the challenge travels in-band in the tool result.) No USDC on Base yet? x402 uses EIP-3009, so you need USDC but NOT ETH for gas — the facilitator submits the transfer and pays the gas. Acquire USDC on Base by withdrawing from an exchange such as Coinbase directly to the Base network, using a fiat on-ramp that supports Base, or bridging from another chain at bridge.base.org.'

An empty risk_flags is only meaningful when the relevant check is "ok" — alongside "partial", "unavailable", "inconclusive" or "not_covered" it means not checked, NOT clean. "unavailable" means the upstream sources were unreachable and a retry may get an answer; "inconclusive" means nothing failed but the check''s method cannot answer for this input, so a retry will not help (today: first_interaction for a sender with more history than the lookup reads). "not_covered" means this check does not run for the chain the transaction is on at all — a statement about our coverage, not about an upstream, and no retry changes it. Absence of a flag is never a safety guarantee.'

No USDC on Base yet? x402 uses EIP-3009, so you need USDC but NOT ETH for gas (the facilitator submits and pays the gas); acquire USDC on Base via a Coinbase withdrawal to the Base network, a fiat on-ramp supporting Base, or bridging at bridge.base.org.
