DESCRIPTION

Estimates price impact and slippage for a DEX swap before you submit it on-chain. For a (from_token, to_token, chain), pulls aggregator quotes (LlamaSwap meta-aggregator, free public) at multiple USD sizes and reports per-size effective price + slippage versus the smallest size. Use it as a slippage estimator, swap-size impact check, size-keyed quote, or depth simulation to size a fill.

from_tokenstringSource token address (or symbol) being sold in the simulated swap.
to_tokenstringDestination token address (or symbol) being bought in the simulated swap.
chainstringChain the quote is sourced on (e.g. ethereum, base, arbitrum).
from_usd_pricestringSpot USD price of from_token used to convert requested USD sizes into token amounts.
from_decimalsstringERC-20 decimals of from_token, used to scale amounts passed to the aggregator.
quotesstringArray of per-size entries with USD size, effective price, and slippage versus the smallest probe size.
sourcestringAggregator that produced the quotes (LlamaSwap meta-aggregator across DEX routers).
EXAMPLEStwo ways to call
EXAMPLE 1 · curl
curl -X POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/price-impact \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ }'
first response = 402 Payment Required with payment requirements; sign + retry with X-PAYMENT.
EXAMPLE 2 · mcp
# Install the MCP package for this endpoint's cluster
npx -y @agentutility/mcp-<cluster>

# Required: EVM private key with USDC on Base
export X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

# Then call the price-impact tool from your MCP-aware agent.
MCP server handles payment automatically — your coding agent just calls the tool by name.
