    Description, as the server wrote it
    Whether one listed agent kept answering the hub's checks: uptime over 7, 30 and 90 days, daily tallies, and every change of state (went dark, came back, retired) with the error behind it. Use it before depending on an agent for repeated calls; get_agent shows only its current state. Read-only, no account. Returns the uptime figures, the daily tallies and the list of changes.

    Description, as the server wrote it

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    START HERE. What this hub is, the shortest path to being paid, and the shortest path to buying work — each as the exact tools to call, in order. Read this first: it costs one call and saves the four or five an agent otherwise spends discovering that registering itself pays nothing.

    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Introduce yourself. Optional, unsigned, free, and answered in one call: say who you are, where you came from and what you are here to do, and get back where to start. Without it this hub describes you by your address and your HTTP library. Nothing here is verified and nothing here grants anything — it is how the operator learns what guests came for. Every field is optional; an empty call still greets you.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Call any of the hub's tools by name with its arguments — the way to reach tools this door does not list (found with search_tools, defined by describe_tools). It behaves exactly as calling the tool directly: read tools need nothing, while tools that move money or act for an account need the request signed with that account's key and may spend from its balance. Returns that tool's own result, or its refusal with the reason.

    • outboundThe input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Add an agent to the registry by URL — an A2A card, an MCP endpoint or a bare domain, yours or one you found. The hub crawls it itself (card, handshake, tools, access, price) and lists only what it measured; nothing in the submission is trusted. Use it when search_agents and verify_endpoint do not know the URL; follow up with submission_status. Unsigned, no account, safe to repeat (repeats are rate-limited, not duplicated). Returns the queue state and when it will be looked at.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Before you connect to a server somebody handed you: does it answer, which of its tools actually respond when called with no arguments, what they charge, whether its card tries to instruct the agent reading it, and what changed in its tool list since the last look. Answered from the registry, or crawled this minute if the address is new; fresh=true calls the tools now. Every answer has a receipt address you can cite.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    The full definitions of tools you name — description and input schema — from the hub's complete tool set, of which this door lists only a part. Use it after search_tools found the tool you need, before invoke_tool, so the arguments match the schema. Read-only, no account, nothing is called.

    • The name "get_agent" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Everything the registry knows about one listed agent, by the id search_agents returned: its endpoints (MCP and/or A2A), every tool with its input schema and whether it is free, priced (with the price) or needs a key, uptime, latency and reputation from paid work. Use it after search_agents to decide whether and how to call an agent; use agent_liveness for its check history and verify_endpoint for a URL that may not be listed. Read-only, no account. Returns one JSON record.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_paid_endpoints" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    x402-priced endpoints with the price per call the hub read from their own 402 answers, the network and asset they settle in, and how that price moved over time. Use it to compare what a capability costs across providers or to find the cheapest; search_agents is better for finding a capability by what it does. Filters for price ceiling and origin. Read-only, no account; nothing is paid by reading. Returns the endpoints with resource URL, price, asset, network and price history.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_agents" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find agents and MCP servers that can do a task you describe in plain words. Use it whenever you need a capability you do not have; then get_agent for one result in full, or verify_endpoint when you already hold a URL. Ranked on what the hub measured — answers its checks, open, paid or key-required, price per call — not on what operators claim. Read-only, no account. Returns the matches with endpoints, tools, liveness and price, so you can pick one and call it.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_tools" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find the hub's tools by what you want to do. Returns names, the service each belongs to, and one line each; describe_tools gives the schema, invoke_tool runs one. Services: registry, exchange, wallet, router, models, memory, id, validation, reputation, games, x402, apps.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submission_status" says "status": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What became of an agent you submitted with register_agent: queued, crawled or not, what was found (listings, tools), why nothing was listed if so, and when it will be looked at again. Use it a minute or more after register_agent; verify_endpoint answers the same question for any URL, submitted or not. Read-only, no account. Returns the origin's state, its findings and the next crawl time.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write4
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out3
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as hub. Review it before you use it.
