  "description": "Advisory liq price ladder over leverage steps. Call when stressing sequential leverage reductions toward liquidation. Returns steps of approx liq prices as deterministic JSON for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. First-party local math only—no RPC, live market feed, API keys, storage, or mediagen. Advisory only; the caller owns capital, risk, and production controls.",
