# nansen-smart-alerts

This skill lets your agent manage Nansen smart alerts: create a rule, list existing ones, edit, toggle or delete it. Handy when you want token flow and smart money alerts without leaving the terminal.

## What it does

The skill wraps the `nansen` CLI and restricts the agent to that binary. It documents three alert types. `sm-token-flows` watches aggregated smart money inflow and outflow, `common-token-transfer` catches transfer events, and `smart-contract-call` fires on contract calls. Each type comes with its own flags: USD thresholds over 1h, 1d and 7d windows, plus filters for tokens, sectors, token age and market cap.

Notification channels are set at creation time. Telegram takes a chat ID, Slack and Discord take webhook URLs, and `--webhook` points at any HTTP endpoint. That endpoint has to be publicly reachable and answer with a 2xx code, since Nansen posts the alert payload to it. Fields without a named flag go through `--data '<json>'`, which merges raw JSON on top of the other options.

You need the `nansen` binary and a `NANSEN_API_KEY`. Without the key nothing runs: browser login via the `nansen:api` session exists only in CLI 2.0.0 and only in the macOS arm64 preview build. Run `nansen auth status` to see which credential is selected.

## When to use it
- create an alert on smart money inflow above a USD threshold
- list active alerts as a table
- toggle an existing rule off
- delete an alert by id
- route notifications to Telegram, Slack or a custom webhook

## Example prompts

## Authentication

Nansen account API calls accept a selected `nansen:api` browser session or conventional API key with the same permissions. `NANSEN_API_KEY` takes precedence; optional `primaryEnv` preserves configured-key injection. Run `nansen auth status` for offline selection. Cached access expiry alone permits automatic renewal during an authorized task. Stop on anonymous selection, invalid state, blocked/uncertain renewal or actual auth failure; never drop a credential or fall back to anonymous x402 payment. Browser login does not grant wallet signing, privileged service identity or a persistent MCP integration key. Preserve all confirmation, signing, sanctions and geographic checks below. Browser login is available in CLI 2.0.0 within the [macOS arm64 preview scope](https://github.com/nansen-ai/nansen-cli/blob/main/docs/browser-login.md#preview-platform-scope).



# Smart Alerts

CRUD management for smart alerts. Browser sessions and API keys use the same account and endpoint checks; privileged or internal service identity is not granted by login.

## Quick Reference

```bash
nansen alerts list --table
nansen alerts create --name <name> --type <type> --chains <chains> --telegram <chatId>
nansen alerts update <id> [--name <name>] [--chains <chains>]
nansen alerts toggle <id> --enabled|--disabled
nansen alerts delete <id>
```
