Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 435 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name orbylon.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 10 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 435 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 435 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    29 of 43 parameters have a description (67%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-09-28T19:31:25.779557Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 10

ask_business

Ask one plain question about a verified business, for example "do you take emergency calls on weekends?" or "is the Tuesday class for beginners?". The answer is written at once from what the business published on Orbylon (who it is, its hours, its phone, what it sells and its prices) and from nothing else: when that does not answer the question, the reply says so (answered: false) and gives the business's phone to ask directly. It never guesses. Not every business answers questions here; one that does not points to list_business_offerings and lookup_business instead. Prices, bookings and orders still go through list_business_offerings, place_order and request_quote.

Discovered
check_business_token

Return what is left on a closed-loop token issued by a business through Orbylon: a gift card, prepaid hours, a membership or a points balance. Takes the code printed on the card. The amount left is balance_cents for a gift card (integer cents, in currency), balance_hours for prepaid hours or balance_points for points, and reads_as says it in words, money written like every price here (e.g. CA$25.00 left); a membership is only valid or not. These are not money and cannot be cashed out or transferred: they are only good with the business that issued them, which is named in the answer.

Discovered
find_businesses

Find businesses that sell what the customer needs in the place they name, for example need "espresso beans" and place "Montreal", or need "plumber" and place "H2X". Both are required. Searches businesses published on Orbylon whose owners proved they own their website, by the words of what they sell and the place they named. Results are ordered by how closely those words match, then by name. No business pays to rank higher, and a business that is not on Orbylon is not here. Each result gives the business's name, city, address, hours and phone as its owner confirmed them, what it sells with exact prices, and which tool to use next: place_order for a priced item, request_quote for an item priced on request, list_business_offerings for the full list. At most 10 results. To try it on Orbylon's fictional test businesses, use the place "Orbylon Test City".

Discovered
get_order_status

Return what happened to an order placed with place_order: its status, the item, the quantity, the total, and, when the business takes card payment, whether it is paid and the pay_url if not. Takes the business domain and the reference the order answer gave. Never returns the buyer's address, email or phone.

Discovered
list_business_offerings

Return the machine-readable catalogue a verified business publishes. Under owner_provided: who and where the business is, then each item with its name, description, integer price in cents, currency and unit, as the business typed them. Prices are exactly what the business published. An item with price_on_request: true has no price (it reads "Price on request"): the business quotes each job, so ask it with request_quote rather than estimate a number.

Discovered
list_business_paid_endpoints

Return the priced endpoints a verified business publishes: each with its title, what it does, the HTTP method, the price, and the URL to call. Calling that URL returns HTTP 402 with payment terms in the Payment-Required header, and the payment settles directly to the business. A call that fails is never charged for. A business that sells none answers an empty list with a note saying so.

Discovered
lookup_business

Return the verified identity record for a domain: its domain-bound Ed25519 public key, when it was verified and how, and what it can prove: its signed documents (under capabilities.proofs.list, each with its slug, when it was signed, its SHA-256 and a verify link anyone can open) and a published catalogue of what it sells. Use this before trusting or transacting with a business. A 'not verified' answer means Orbylon has no proof about them, not that they are fraudulent.

Discovered
place_order

Order an item a verified business publishes (see list_business_offerings or find_businesses). Two steps. First call without confirm: it places nothing and returns the seller, the item, the quantity, the unit price, the full total, the currency, how payment happens, and the refund and cancelling terms. Show those to the customer. Then call again with the same fields and confirm: true, only after the customer agreed. The order goes straight to the business, where it already works: email, its own store or its own system, and the answer carries a reference to pass to get_order_status. When the business connected a payment account (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Razorpay, Lemon Squeezy or Paddle), the answer carries a pay_url on that account; the money goes to the business, never to Orbylon. For an appointment, the answer can carry a book_url where the buyer chooses the time on the business's own booking page.

Discovered
request_quote

Ask a verified business for a quote on an item it lists as price on request (price_on_request: true in list_business_offerings): a roofer, a lawyer, a garage. The request is emailed to the business, which replies to the customer with its price. Nothing is paid or owed and no wallet is needed. Ask the customer first and send consent: true only if they agreed that their name, contact and request go to the business. Returns a reference and a status URL.

Discovered
scan_business_readiness

Scan any business website and report whether AI agents can find, trust, and pay it. Returns pillar scores, a grade, per-check evidence, and a link to the report (it opens for whoever has the link and is not listed anywhere).
