What it does
Explain what an EVM transaction would actually do: decodes the calldata (ERC-20 transfers/approvals via known ABIs, unknown selectors via the 4byte directory) and simulates the call against live chain state to report the outcome — including unlimited-approval warnings — without sending anything. Use this when an agent needs to decode and simulate a transaction — before signing it.

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
