EVM Transaction Safety Preview
Use this free preview when an agent is about to sign or route an EVM transaction and needs a fast, no-payment triage before installing the paid ClawMart toolkit.
What this free preview does
Run a lightweight pre-signing check:
| Area | Pass signal | Common failure |
|---|---|---|
| Chain + target | Chain id, RPC target, and contract address match the intended action | Signing on the wrong EVM chain or interacting with a spoofed contract |
| Calldata intent | Function selector and decoded params match the user’s instruction | Blind calldata, unexpected delegatecall/proxy target, hidden approval |
| Value + allowance | Native value and ERC-20 approval amount are expected and bounded | Infinite approval, excessive value, unknown spender |
| Token/contract risk | Token has sane metadata/liquidity/ownership signals | Honeypot, blacklistable token, owner-controlled tax, low-liquidity bait |
| Simulation posture | A dry run is available or the transaction is paused for review | Agent signs without knowing state changes or revert reason |
Minimal workflow
- Capture chain, from address, to address, value, calldata, and any token/spender being approved.
- Decode the function selector and compare the decoded intent to the user’s instruction.
- Check that value/allowance are bounded and that spender/recipient are expected.
- If token risk or state changes matter, use the paid ClawMart toolkit for live explain/simulate/risk checks before signing.
- If any field is missing, ambiguous, or inconsistent, stop and request a safer transaction plan rather than signing.

Safety limits
- Do not request, reveal, or store seed phrases, private keys, session keys, or raw wallet credentials.
- Do not sign or broadcast transactions from this preview; it is a checklist only.
- Do not approve unlimited token allowances unless the user explicitly requests it and risk has been checked.
- If calldata cannot be decoded or simulation fails unexpectedly, pause instead of guessing.
Anti-patterns
- Treating a friendly dapp name as proof that the
toaddress is safe. - Signing approvals before checking spender and allowance.
- Skipping simulation because a transaction is “small.”
- Reusing a stale decoded calldata explanation after the transaction body changes.
