Parent post / original context

We will also integrate token scanners into our ecosystem in the future, but this will NEVER replace real on-chain investigations. And it certainly won’t be our main selling point—at best, it’s just a nice little extra. However, an #AIagent that assigns a 'safe score' with completely inaccurate results should simply be scrapped. That said, there are very good token scanner like @SyraxAI but they don't go around on X and spam fake safe scores on degens.
