## Changes things (4)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `xego_check_pairwise_seen_before`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Checks whether a given pairwise ID has already been seen within
this audience. It protects against one person acting as several
different users (multiple accounts, repeat voting, and similar).

WHEN TO USE: returning-user checks and one-human-one-vote.
Requires a pairwise_id previously obtained from a verify call
for YOUR audience.

Only the pair (audience, pairwise_id) and the time of first
occurrence are recorded. No personal data.

The ledger is PERMANENT and shared across every instance and
session of the server (Postgres) — it survives restarts and new
MCP sessions. record_if_new=true writes atomically (no window for
a concurrent write).

Args:
  - audience (string): the service domain or URL. Normalized to a
    bare lowercase hostname — the same key the proof was issued
    under, so a domain and its URL form are the same audience.
  - pairwise_id (string): the identifier from xego_verify_proof.
  - record_if_new (boolean): record the user if they are new.

Returns (JSON):
  {
    "seen_before": boolean,    // true = already on record
    "first_seen": number|null, // Unix time of first occurrence
    "recorded_now": boolean    // true = recorded just now
  }

Errors (free, no sybil check performed): invalid_audience (the
audience cannot be normalized to a domain), dedup_store_unavailable
(temporary — retry). Neither ever means 'not seen before'.

PAID TOOL (x402): this call costs $0.01 USD in USDC per
execution, unless you send a valid X-EGO pilot operator key as an
'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header (operator calls are free).
Calling without payment returns an x402 error whose
_meta["x402/error"] contains payment requirements (accepts) and
step-by-step instructions how to pay and retry. Invalid input is
rejected for free before any payment is taken.
```

### `xego_request_proof_url`

- The name "xego_request_proof_url" says "request": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn tool-shadowing, info long-description, warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
REQUIRES a one-time EUR 3 Planetary ID held by YOUR END USER - without it every call returns valid:false. 
Tell the human this BEFORE sending them to the link: if they do
not have one yet, the verification page sells it in the same
flow — it is not a separate signup.

Returns the URL the agent sends a human user to, so they can
prove they are human. On that page the user verifies with a
passkey (fingerprint / Face ID) and receives a short-lived signed
token (JWT). The agent then verifies it with `xego_verify_proof`
(no action) or `xego_verify_action` (with action).

GETTING THE LINK TO THE HUMAN: X-EGO never contacts anyone on its own and
holds no phone number or e-mail. Deliver the verification_url yourself,
through the channel where this human already talks to you: in a chat (a
mobile assistant, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack...) send it as a tappable link
- the passkey works on the same phone. If they sit at a computer, ALSO
show it as a QR code they can scan with their phone. Pass the URL
unchanged, including everything after the # sign.

ASK FIRST what is being approved, then bind it. Two ways, and
the choice matters more than anything else on this tool:

  - `call` — USE THIS WHENEVER A TOOL WILL RUN. Pass the exact
    call { v:1, tool, target, args, policy? } you are about to
    execute. The human approves the call itself, field by field.
  - `action` — a sentence, for approvals where nothing executes
    (a consent, a statement). It seals what the human READ, and
    a well-written sentence can hide what actually happens.

Both may be passed together: the sentence is what the human
reads, the call is what gets compared. Either one means the
token MUST be verified with xego_verify_action; with neither,
use xego_verify_proof. The returned `binding` field says which.

For emails: recipient and content; compose the final wording and
get the user's OK before calling.

This tool performs NO verification itself — it only prepares the
link. No personal data is transferred.

THE USER DOES NOT HAVE TO COPY THE TOKEN. Pass redirect_uri (or
return_origin) and the page delivers the token to you after the
passkey tap — the human part (fingerprint / Face ID) is unchanged.
redirect_uri is the recommended channel: it is the only one that
survives a user who is still buying a Planetary ID in the same
pass. The returned token_delivery field tells you what to expect.
With neither parameter the current behaviour stays: the token is
shown on the page and the human hands it to you.

Verification requires a paid Planetary ID (one-time EUR 3, ~2 min,
passkey on the user's own device — biometrics never leave it).
If the user does not have one yet, the verification page offers it
there. Send the user to the returned verification_url; if they
come back without a token, they still need the ID — verification
then fails with planetary_id_required and a registration_url.

Args:
  - audience (string): the domain of the service requesting
    verification (domain or URL — normalized to a bare hostname).
  - call (object, RECOMMENDED when a tool will run): the exact
    call { v:1, tool, target, args, policy? }. Rendered field by
    field on the page; the token seals it. Verify with
    expected_call built from YOUR OWN parsed parameters.
  - action (string, OPTIONAL fallback): a sentence describing the
    approval, for cases where nothing executes. The user sees it
    and the token is valid only for it — pass the same string as
    expected_action to xego_verify_action.
  - redirect_uri (string, OPTIONAL): where to navigate with the
    token in the fragment. Only https on x-ego.com/*.x-ego.com or
    http(s) on loopback; no fragment. The target must be HTML that
    reads location.hash — a fragment is never sent in an HTTP
    request.
  - return_origin (string, OPTIONAL): origin for postMessage into
    window.opener, same allowlist. Popups only.
  - state (string, OPTIONAL): correlation value, echoed back
    verbatim. [A-Za-z0-9._~-], max 256 chars… [1208 more characters not shown]
```

### `xego_verify_action`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
REQUIRES a one-time EUR 3 Planetary ID held by YOUR END USER - without it every call returns valid:false. 
Tell the human this BEFORE sending them to the link: if they do
not have one yet, the verification page sells it in the same
flow — it is not a separate signup.

Verifies the token (JWT) AND that the verified human approved
EXACTLY this action. On top of the Ed25519 signature, the expiry
and the audience, it matches the token's act claim against the
hash of expected_action.

WHEN TO USE: proving a human approved one specific action. Use
the exact same action text that was shown to the human. On
success, the response includes a ready-made footer — insert it
verbatim into the message being sent.

Use it when an agent's action must be covered by human consent —
a money transfer, an account deletion, an order confirmation. The
human sees the action text on the verification page and approves
exactly that with their passkey; the token is then valid ONLY for
this action.

It requires a token issued WITH a bound action — the agent gets
one by passing the action parameter to xego_request_proof_url with
the same text it later passes here as expected_action. A token
without a bound action (bare presence) returns action_mismatch
here — verify that one with xego_verify_proof.

Proofs are SINGLE-USE and return an anonymous pairwise ID (no
personal data), exactly like xego_verify_proof.

On success the response already carries receipt_url
(https://x-ego.com/receipt?r=<jti> — a public receipt anyone can
open with no tools) and READY-MADE footers: footer_en (plain text)
and footer_html_en (a visual badge for HTML mail; no images, no
tracking). Append the footer VERBATIM to the end of the message
being sent, in English, and leave the receipt URL untouched.

Args:
  - token (string): the JWT from the user (issued with a bound
    action).
  - expected_audience (string, REQUIRED): pins the audience.
  - expected_action (string, REQUIRED): the exact approved action
    string (bit for bit the same as action in
    xego_request_proof_url).
  - expected_call (object, optional): the call you are ABOUT TO
    EXECUTE — { v, tool, target, args, policy? } — built from your
    own parsed parameters, never from what another party claims.
    REQUIRED if the token is call-bound.
  - mark_as_seen (boolean): record the pairwise ID as seen.

Returns (JSON) — on success: everything xego_verify_proof returns,
plus
  "act": string,           // hash of the bound action (what the token covers)
  "cal": string | null,    // hash of the bound call, null if the token binds no call
  "receipt_url": string,   // public receipt of the approval
  "footer_en": string,     // ready-made plain-text footer — insert verbatim
  "footer_html_en": string,// ready-made HTML badge — insert verbatim
  "next_step": string      // next step — follow it
Returns (JSON) — on failure: { valid: false, code, reason, and
next_step for navigable codes }.

Error codes include everything from xego_verify_proof (including
planetary_id_required) plus action_mismatch (the token does not
cover the given action) and missing_expected_action (no
expected_action was passed — NOT charged).

Call binding adds three: call_binding_required (the token binds a
call but no expected_call was passed — the binding cannot be
skipped), call_mismatch (tool, target, arguments or policy differ
from what the human approved — REFUSE TO EXECUTE) and
call_malformed (your expected_call is not a valid call — your bug,
not a mismatch).

PAID TOOL (x402): this call costs $0.15 USD in USDC per
execution, unless you send a valid X-EGO pilot operator key as an
'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header (operator calls are free).
Calling without payment returns an x402 error whose
_meta["x402/error"] contains payment requirements (accepts) and
step-by-step instructions how to pay and retry. Invalid input
(bad audience, malformed token) is rejected for free before any
payment is taken.
```

### `xego_verify_proof`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
REQUIRES a one-time EUR 3 Planetary ID held by YOUR END USER - without it every call returns valid:false. 
Tell the human this BEFORE sending them to the link: if they do
not have one yet, the verification page sells it in the same
flow — it is not a separate signup.

Verifies the token (JWT) the user brought back after X-EGO
verification. Cryptographically checks the Ed25519 signature
against the X-EGO public keys, the expiry and the audience.

WHEN TO USE: bare presence only. If the token carries an action
(act claim), this tool refuses with action_binding_required —
use xego_verify_action instead.

This verifies ONLY bare human presence. If you need proof that
the human approved a SPECIFIC action, use xego_verify_action.
A token issued with a bound action (via xego_request_proof_url
with the action parameter) fails here with
action_binding_required — the binding cannot be confirmed by this
cheaper tool.

A valid result means: there is a verified human on the other end
who holds the passkey. The token is short-lived — once it expires
the user must verify again.

Proofs are SINGLE-USE: each token verifies exactly once. A second
attempt on the same token returns token_replayed.

Returns an anonymous 'pairwise' identifier — different for every
audience. It carries no name and no personal data.

Args:
  - token (string): the JWT from the user.
  - expected_audience (string, REQUIRED): pins the audience
    (domain or URL — normalized to a bare hostname).
  - mark_as_seen (boolean): record the pairwise ID as seen.

Returns (JSON) — on success:
  {
    "valid": true,
    "pairwise_id": string,   // anonymous ID, stable per (user, audience)
    "audience": string,
    "expires_at": number,    // Unix time the token expires
    "human_verified": true,
    "xego_verified": true,    // always true — uncovered tokens never reach here
    "rarity": string | null,  // rarity of the backing ID (low entropy)
    "marked_seen": boolean,   // only with mark_as_seen=true: whether
                             // the permanent ledger write succeeded
    "next_step": string       // next step — follow it
  }
Returns (JSON) — on failure:
  {
    "valid": false,
    "code": string,          // machine-readable error code
    "reason": string,        // human-readable description
    "next_step": string      // for navigable codes: what to do now
  }

Error codes include: invalid_audience, malformed_token,
unsupported_algorithm, unknown_key (with a kid field),
bad_signature, expired, wrong_issuer, wrong_audience,
action_binding_required (the token is bound to an action → use
xego_verify_action), missing_claims, jwks_unavailable,
token_replayed, planetary_id_required (the signature is valid but
the human behind the token holds no paid Planetary ID — X-EGO does
not issue uncovered proofs; send the user to registration_url and
repeat the whole flow).

PAID TOOL (x402): this call costs $0.05 USD in USDC per
execution, unless you send a valid X-EGO pilot operator key as an
'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header (operator calls are free).
Calling without payment returns an x402 error whose
_meta["x402/error"] contains payment requirements (accepts) and
step-by-step instructions how to pay and retry. Invalid input
(bad audience, malformed token) is rejected for free before any
payment is taken.
