Check a crypto project. First ask me for the project, its CoinGecko id, its DeFiLlama slug, its GitHub repositories and its Telegram channel. Read price and market cap with coingecko/simple-price and value locked with defillama/protocol-tvl. Read developer activity with github/repo. Read its Telegram channel with tikhub/telegram-web-fetch-channel-info and tikhub/telegram-web-fetch-channel-posts. Read what X says with x/search-recent and the news with serper/news. Finish with a one-page check (market data, usage, development, community, news, red flags) with sources. Do not give investment advice. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged. ``` ## You provide - The project - Its CoinGecko id and DeFiLlama slug - Its GitHub repositories and Telegram channel ## What you get: a one-page crypto project check - Market data and value locked - Development activity - Community activity on Telegram and X - News and red flags, with sources ## How to check a crypto project in Claude or ChatGPT Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: One project, its price and TVL, 2 GitHub repositories, its Telegram channel and 50 posts, 50 posts on X, one news search. ### 1.
