Screwtape.ai

Publish a signed receipt you own so a public page and a Screwtape Verified badge can link to that one verdict. Call it when you want to show that a specific output received a specific verdict. Do NOT call it to certify an agent in general: the page says this output received this verdict at this time, and it is not a general safety certification of the agent. Nothing is public until this call. Inputs: receipt_id (required), include_content (optional boolean, default false; true stores and shows the task and agent output only if that call was retained), label (optional, at most 80 characters), unpublish (optional boolean; true removes the public page). Returns public_url, badge_svg_url, embed_html, and embed_markdown. Requires the API key that owns the receipt. It does not accept x402 payment. Cost: free.

False-consensus check for 2 to 16 answers to the same task. It scores how the answers agree and flags agreement that looks copied or too thin to trust. Screwtape is not tied to the agent framework or the model that wrote the answers. Call it when several agents, samples or tools answered the same question and you are about to accept the majority. Do NOT call it with a single answer (use judge), with answers to different tasks, or as proof that an answer is correct: high agreement is not evidence. Inputs: task, answers (2 to 16 objects {agent_id?: string, output: string}), optional evidence (a string or an array of strings, used when scoring), retain, and optional call-level agent_id and version tags. The call-level agent_id is not the per-answer agent_id. Returns: consensus_answer, agreement_score, false_consensus_risk (low, medium or high), reasons, clusters, engine, request_id, retention, the tags when sent, and receipt when signing is configured. In that receipt, verdict is false_consensus_risk and score is agreement_score. If the risk is medium or high, verify consensus_answer with judge before using it. Cost: 1 call. A free key covers 100 calls per UTC day; without a key, pay $0.005 USDC on Base or Solana per call with x402.

Create a free Screwtape.ai API key (100 calls per UTC day) with no human approval. Call it only when no Screwtape key is configured and you can compute SHA-256 with a code tool, because the proof of work must be computed exactly, not guessed. Do NOT call it when a key already exists, to get more quota (it is limited to 5 keys per IP per hour and per UTC day), or without a valid pow_nonce. A missing nonce returns an error that describes the challenge. Inputs: pow_nonce (required string matching ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{8,64}$; SHA-256 of the UTF-8 string screwtape-signup-v1:<current UTC YYYY-MM-DD>:<nonce> must start with 12 zero bits, which is 3 hex zeros), email (optional), name (optional, at most 80 characters). Returns: api_key (shown once; store it securely and send it as Authorization: Bearer), key metadata and request_id. Only the key's SHA-256 hash is stored. Cost: free. Needs no key and no payment.

An independent pass/fail/retry verdict on ONE agent output. Call it before you return, store or act on a draft answer, especially when you have the evidence the answer should be based on. Do NOT call it to look up facts (it does no web search and only checks against the evidence you pass), to compare several agents' answers (use consensus), or for offline evaluation over a dataset. Inputs: task, agent_output, evidence, criteria, retain, and optional agent_id and version tags. Returns: verdict, score, reasons, engine, request_id, retention, the tags when sent, and receipt when signing is configured. On pass, use the output. On retry, revise using reasons and call again, at most 2 or 3 times. On fail, stop. Cost: 1 call. A free key covers 100 calls per UTC day; without a key, pay $0.005 USDC on Base or Solana per call with x402. Without a key or payment, tools/call is HTTP 200 with isError true and the x402 PaymentRequirements in structuredContent. Retry with params._meta['x402/payment'].

Return the x402 payment requirements for a Starter ($30, 10000 calls) or Builder ($100, 50000 calls) prepaid pack, plus how to pay with USDC on Base or Solana. pack is starter or builder. This call does not move funds and does not require a key or a payment. POST /v1/packs/{pack}/buy with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE to pay. Pay with PayPal at POST /v1/packs/checkout.
