​
What it scores

A composite risk assessment for a memecoin: authority configuration, liquidity structure, holder concentration, and deployer history, assembled into an evidence packet with the provenance of each component.

​
The failure this design exists to prevent

Returning “no risk found” when the truth is “the risk engine is not installed” is the worst failure this system can produce.A rug score is consumed at the moment somebody is deciding whether to put money into a token. A reassuring answer that actually means “nothing was checked” is worse than no answer at all, because it converts an unknown into a false negative at exactly the wrong moment.
Four states are therefore kept distinct and are never collapsed: See Data states.

​
Availability today

The backing memecoin_packet module ships on an unmerged branch. On a master checkout, get_rug_score, get_memecoin_packet, and list_high_risk_memecoins all return module_absent.This also propagates into agent signals: the evidence collector soft-imports the memecoin collectors and records a named gap when they are absent. On master, every memecoin evidence bundle is empty by design, and the verifier correctly refuses every verdict except no_opinion.
That last behaviour is worth sitting with. On a deployment without the risk engine, the signal agent does not produce confident memecoin verdicts backed by nothing — it produces no_opinion and records why. The absence propagates honestly instead of being papered over.

Integration guidance

1

Branch on state before reading findings

If your module_absent path is the same code as your ok-with-no-findings path, you have the bug this page is about.
2

Surface the reason to the end user

Every non-ok state carries a human-readable reason. Show it. “Not checked — risk engine unavailable” is actionable; a green tick is not.
3

Never default to safe

Absence of a finding is not a finding of absence.
