buy_shelfCreates a Coinbase checkout for any SKU — use this when no job-named tool exists.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "create": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it
Creates a Coinbase checkout for any SKU — use this when no job-named tool exists. Returns x402_url (pay with any x402 client), pay_url (human) and claim_url. Does not move money itself.
buy_shelf_passShelf Pass — 110 prepaid credits.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
Shelf Pass — 110 prepaid credits. 110 prepaid credits for $0.99 ($1.10 of calls). 1 credit = $0.01 of list price: a $0.10 carrier check uses 10 credits, a $0.02 sanctions screen uses 2. Valid on data shelves priced at $0.25 or less (FX, carrier, broker and sanctions checks, Texas CE, the load-vet pack, instant Swahili localization). The pass token travels in the X-SHELF-PASS header, so a call needs no separate wallet payment. $0.99 USDC on Base. Returns the x402 URL to GET (402 → PAYMENT-SIGNATURE → delivery). Free to call this tool; payment happens on the URL.

Description, as the server wrote it
Africa FX daily brief. Every Frankfurter official African forex pair (shilling, naira, cedi, rand and more) plus both Bybit-derived street quotes (USD-NGN and USD-GHS) and their spreads, each row carrying its source and time. One call for a morning pricing check. Price $0.5 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-africa-daily-brief price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name. It does not return the rate as a bare payment link.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Official FX rate — one African pair. Official forex reference rate vs USD for one African currency: KES (Kenyan shilling), NGN (naira), GHS (cedi), TZS, UGX, ZAR, EGP, RWF, via Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev). Frankfurter blends published central-bank reference rates; the number is that blend, not a single central-bank fixing. Each response names the source and carries as_of (Frankfurter's rate date) and fetched_at. Price $0.01 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-official price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name.

  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Street (parallel-market) rate — USD-NGN or USD-GHS. Parallel/street exchange rate for USD-NGN (naira) or USD-GHS (cedi): the median VWAP of Bybit's public USDT/fiat P2P order book, divided by a USDT/USD spot basis, plus the Frankfurter official reference rate and the spread. OKX is archived and does not set the price. Not a central-bank rate and not a bureau de change quote. Price $0.05 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-parallel price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name.

Description, as the server wrote it
Free. POST the shipment and both names. We run an OFAC name screen and refuse prohibited items and hazmat (400).

Otherwise we return the estimate, Doos's proof-of-purchase checklist, a summary to give Doos and Doos's booking links (status ready_for_doos).
