    Description, as the server wrote it
    Notarize any file or hash into a public transparency log cosigned by 7 witnesses from 6 operators and anchored to Bitcoin. Hash-only: pass a sha256 hex string, or with the local stdio server a file path (hashed on your machine; the file never leaves it) — only 32 bytes reach the log. Returns a receipt with the leaf index, inclusion-proof URL, an offline c2sp.org/tlog-proof bundle URL, and the witness trust policy. Proves the hash existed no later than the covering checkpoint, in a single history everyone sees identically; does NOT prove authorship or that the content is true. Rate-limited (10/hour). Typical use: notarize an output the moment it is produced, keep the file, hand anyone the proof URL.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "commit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Commit any data (an AI output, a decision, a record) into a public, witnessed transparency log and get back a verifiable, tamper-evident provenance stamp (canonical markovian-provenance/v1). It proves the data existed and was committed at this time; it does NOT assert the data is correct (provenance, not truth). No wallet, account, or funding is required, the first stamp just works, and only the SHA-256 hash of your data is sent to the public API, the raw data is never stored. The returned merkle_root is the handle: save it, then call markovian_verify(merkle_root) to prove integrity later, or pass prior stamps in derived_from to build a lineage you can walk with markovian_trace. Typical use: stamp an agent output the moment it is produced, so anyone can later confirm it was not altered.

    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
    Walk and verify a stamp's full provenance lineage by merkle_root. Use this when a stamp was created with derived_from links, to map what an output was built from. Returns a MAP of the graph (not a yes/no verdict): each node carries hash_binds and anchored, each edge carries edge_verified, and `valid` is true only if every node and edge checks out. A node whose payload was never published is an unresolved frontier (resolved:false). Read-only. Provenance, not truth.

    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
    Look up a Markovian stamp by its merkle_root against the public verifier, with no key or account. verified:true means the stamp record exists and the response echoes its committed data_hash — recompute your content's SHA-256 and compare it to that data_hash yourself to confirm the content is unaltered. An unknown merkle_root returns verified:false. The trust-nobody path is the stamp's witnessed transparency-log leaf (log_index / inclusion URL from markovian_stamp): its inclusion proof verifies against the witnessed log head with no trust in this endpoint. Read-only; anyone can run it, including a party who does not trust the stamper.

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.
