Summary Flags

List of flags that are present in the summary response from IsHoneypot/Summary endpoint.

Severity

Each flag contains a severity and severity index.
Possible values: "info" (4), "low" (8), "medium" (12), "high" (16), "critical" (20).
There's a gap between the severity index values to allow for future values. Severity index is always unsigned integer (thus positive).
The severity for a flag can change.
In the API response, the severity is in lowercase. Example of a flag in the response:

{
  "flag": "TRANSFER_BLOCKED",
  "description": "Normal transfers between wallets are blocked, those are non-DEX transactions.",
  "severity": "medium",
  "severityIndex": 12
}

The description is the English description of the flag, and can often change or be dynamic.
Flags can be added/removed, as well as their threshold for getting triggered can change. If precision is required, it is recommended to use the results from IsHoneypot instead.
