Paid verification
How it worksNo sponsored paid call yet.
Pay this endpoint once from your own wallet (Base USDC, up to $1.00) and we call it and record what came back. Your wallet pays the listed recipient directly; Agent Tools never holds funds. Sponsored checks prove delivery; they do not count as demand.
Quality grade
How grading works- ✓ Answers a real HTTP 402 challenge
- ✓ Publishes a /.well-known/x402 descriptor
- ✓ Payment address on record
- ✓ Settlement network declared
- ✓ Price declared
x402 readiness
Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. For x402 and A2A listings it contributes up to 15 of the 100 quality points; for MCP listings it is shown for reference only. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 57.9/100), which weighs availability, payability and on-chain demand. How the two differ
| Valid payment requirements | 10/10 | Payment requirements carry a payee, a mainnet network and a price. |
| Live 402 challenge | 25/25 | Paid endpoint answers with an HTTP 402 challenge (494 ms). |
| x402 version | 10/10 | Speaks x402 v2. |
| Signed descriptor | n/a | No x402 standard defines a signed descriptor. |
| Uptime (30 days) | 11.61/15 | 24/31 probes succeeded over 30 days (77%). |
| Resource declaration | 5/10 | Declares 1 paid resource(s). |
| Verified identity | 5/10 | Publisher descriptor (/.well-known/x402 or OpenAPI) on record; claim this listing to verify domain control. |
| Freshness + modern flags | 5/5 | seen in a source within 7 days; declares x402. |
| Security declaration | n/a | Payment is the access control for an x402 resource. |
