Changes things 2Claude Code: ask
  • check_siteScore how bot-friendly a website is (0-100).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.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Score how bot-friendly a website is (0-100). Fetches the site the way an agent would — no JavaScript, no cookies — and checks access (reachability, HTTPS, robots.txt, AI crawlers allowed, real 404s), content without JavaScript (H1, 500+ chars of raw text, metadata, JSON-LD), and machine discovery (llms.txt, sitemap, OpenAPI spec or ai-plugin.json), with evidence and fix advice per check. Set format to 'prompt' to instead get a ready-to-paste coding-agent prompt that fixes every failed finding. Rate limited to 6 checks per minute per caller; each check takes a few seconds.
  • submit_serviceSubmit a service to the BotFriendly directory.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submit_service" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a service to the BotFriendly directory. There is no review queue: each interface URL must be on the service's own domain, or linked from the service's own site, and is fetched during the call; the listing publishes immediately if its MCP server, OpenAPI spec or API completes a handshake — one of has_mcp_server, has_openapi_spec or has_api is required; llms.txt, skill files and feeds only add badges. The url must be the product, not an article (/blog/, /news/ and similar are rejected), and a domain can add at most 2 listings a day and 3 in total. Every listing needs an icon — pass icon_url, or leave it out and the service's own site is checked for one.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_protocol_stats" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get every protocol on botfriendly.xyz/protocols with adoption stats: how agents call a service and prove who sent them (MCP, OpenAPI, A2A, XAA) and the agent payment, authorization, and commerce protocols (x402, mpp, l402, ap2, tap, agent-pay, ace, acp, ucp, actp, icc). Each entry carries its sponsor, layer, spec URL, and count — how many listed services support it, or null for protocols that aren't a listing attribute (A2A, XAA).
  • get_serviceGet full details for a specific service by its slug, including all protocol support, URLs, auth method, billing, and metadata.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_service" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get full details for a specific service by its slug, including all protocol support, URLs, auth method, billing, and metadata.
  • list_categoriesList every BotFriendly category with its id (the search_services category value), human label, aliases (older slugs still accepted), description and service count.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List every BotFriendly category with its id (the search_services category value), human label, aliases (older slugs still accepted), description and service count.
  • search_servicesSearch the BotFriendly directory for bot-friendly services, APIs, and tools that AI agents can use.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_services" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search the BotFriendly directory for bot-friendly services, APIs, and tools that AI agents can use. Filter by category, payment/commerce protocol support (x402, MPP, L402, AP2, TAP, Agent Pay, ACE, ACP, UCP, ACTP, ICC), auth method, and more. Results may start with up to 3 promoted listings (paid ads) pinned to the top — site-wide ads on unfiltered searches, category ads on category searches — clearly marked with promoted:true and ad:true. Use promoted=false to exclude ads.

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.
