search_news
Search Basis Desk news
Search Basis Desk, a crypto newsroom that verifies every story against primary sources (SEC/CFTC/Fed filings, court records, company and protocol releases). Use for questions about a crypto event, company, regulator, token or protocol (e.g. 'SEC generic listing standards', 'Bitwise NEAR ETF', 'Solana validator client'). Returns matching stories (newest first) with headline, date, summary and URL; follow up with get_article for the full text and sources.

token_safety
Token contract safety check
Safety check of a token contract before someone buys or approves it: honeypot behaviour, buy/sell tax, mint/pause/blacklist powers, proxy upgradeability, owner privileges, holder concentration — data from GoPlus Security, explained in plain English by Basis Desk. Use when a user asks whether a token or contract address is safe or a scam. Informational only, not investment advice.
