Nansen General Search

Search for tokens or entities by name. Use when you have a token name and need the full address, or want to find an entity.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and runtime instructions align with its stated purpose: it simply wraps the Nansen CLI and needs a NANSEN_API_KEY to perform searches.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (search tokens/entities) match the declared requirement of the nansen binary and the NANSEN_API_KEY. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only shows direct nansen CLI invocations and documents flags/behavior. It does not instruct reading other files, environment variables, or sending data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

Install uses a Node package (nansen-cli) which will create the nansen binary — this is a sensible install path for a CLI but carries the usual moderate risk of pulling code from npm. No arbitrary download URLs or archive extraction are used.

Credentials

Only NANSEN_API_KEY is required and is declared as the primary credential — appropriate and proportionate for a service-backed search CLI.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-on and does not request elevated or cross-skill configuration. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with broad privileges.

Assessment

This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: run the Nansen CLI to search tokens/entities. Before installing, ensure you trust the npm package 'nansen-cli' (verify its publisher and package page) and be prepared to provide your NANSEN_API_KEY (this is a secret tied to your Nansen account). Installing will place a 'nansen' binary on the system and the tool will make network requests to Nansen; if you are uncomfortable granting that API key or installing npm packages from that publisher, do not install the skill.

Search

nansen research search "jupiter" --type token
nansen research search "Vitalik" --type entity --limit 5
nansen research search "bonk" --chain solana --fields address,name,symbol,chain

Flag	Purpose
--type	token or entity
--chain	Filter by chain
--limit	Number of results (default 25, max 50)
--fields	Select specific output fields

Case-insensitive. Does NOT match by address — use profiler labels for address lookup.
