  • preflight_checkLive-check an x402 URL before paying it: valid challenge, real price, token, pay-to match.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Live-check an x402 URL before paying it: valid challenge, real price, token, pay-to match. Sends one unpaid request to the URL and compares the answer with our records; the verdict is ok, caution or avoid. Costs $0.005 via x402.

      The description mentions "credential".

      Matched text

      description: "...ons, invisible characters, requests for credential files and more. Returns a grade A to F..."

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Free. Connects to a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) the way an agent would, reads its tool definitions and instructions (up to a size limit) without calling any tool, and checks them for tool poisoning: hidden instructions, invisible characters, requests for credential files and more. Returns a grade A to F with findings, and says when part of the definitions was too large to check. Limited per IP.
