  • Pass
    Current protocol

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

  • Pass
    HTTPS

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 891 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 891 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.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    24 of 24 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • 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.

Capabilities

Tools 18

create_checkout

Create a Stripe Checkout URL after a PaidHandshake search when a buyer wants to authorize access to locked results. This tool only creates the checkout handoff and never silently charges the buyer. Use get_unlock_quote first if the buyer only needs pricing, and do not use this for recurring watches or machine-wallet jobs.

Discovered
create_recurring_paid_watch

Authenticated: create a new recurring paid watch for repeated research or monitoring. Each execution is a normal paid machine job bounded by max_price_cents plus the machine's delegated spending limits; cadence must be 60-10080 minutes. Use this only to create a new watch; use set_recurring_paid_watch to enable/disable an existing watch and submit_paid_machine_job for one-time work.

Discovered
get_free_data_sample

Free, read-only preview of one canonical PaidHandshake inventory feed. Returns one paid-eligible verified record when available; quality-held candidates are never substituted. Use get_live_inventory first to discover feed inventory and use get_published_intelligence_sample instead for worker-published intelligence products.

Discovered
get_fulfillment_proof

Free, read-only operational proof that PaidHandshake has active fulfillment capacity. Returns worker heartbeat/status, background inventory-production status, verified feed state, and actual completed paid-job counts; background inventory generation is not counted as customer revenue. Use this for platform/fulfillment verification, not for browsing purchasable inventory or polling one specific paid job.

Discovered
get_live_inventory

Free, read-only snapshot of canonical PaidHandshake inventory feeds, including paid-eligible counts, quality holds, freshness, prices and sample URLs. Use this as the starting point for known feed inventory; use get_free_data_sample for one feed sample, get_published_intelligence_catalog for worker-published products, and search_matches for ad hoc web discovery.

Discovered
get_machine_onboarding

Free, read-only onboarding guide for autonomous buyers. Returns the self-service machine enrollment route plus Stripe wallet-funding, paid-job submission/polling, recurring-watch, and related machine endpoints. Use this when an agent needs to become a PaidHandshake machine buyer or discover the required API flow; use get_machine_wallet after authentication to inspect an existing machine account.

Discovered
get_machine_payment_options

Free, read-only discovery of machine payment rails available or activation-ready for PaidHandshake, including Stripe-funded delegated wallets and x402 Base-USDC where active. Use this when an autonomous buyer needs to choose how to pay; use get_machine_wallet to inspect one authenticated machine's actual wallet balance and spending limits.

Discovered
get_machine_wallet

Authenticated, read-only wallet status for the current machine buyer. Returns wallet balance and delegated spending limits without moving funds. Use this before submit_paid_machine_job to verify available budget; use get_machine_payment_options to discover funding and payment rails rather than account-specific balances.

Discovered
get_paid_machine_job

Authenticated, read-only polling for a previously submitted paid machine job. Use the job_id returned by submit_paid_machine_job to retrieve its current queued, working, completed, or failed state and any available result; use quote_paid_machine_job before submission, not this tool, when you only need a price estimate.

Discovered
get_paidhandshake_capabilities

Free, read-only capability map for PaidHandshake Exchange. Returns available verified-data feed families, machine endpoints, payment rails, and operating rules. Use this first to understand what PaidHandshake can do; use get_machine_onboarding for enrollment and setup, and get_machine_wallet for an authenticated buyer's current balance and spending limits.

Discovered
get_published_intelligence_catalog

Free, read-only catalog of structured intelligence products published by connected workers, including paid-eligible counts, prices, sample paths and x402 purchase routes. Use this to discover product names before calling get_published_intelligence_sample; use get_live_inventory instead for canonical PaidHandshake feed inventory.

Discovered
get_published_intelligence_sample

Free, read-only sample of one worker-published intelligence product. Returns one paid-eligible structured record so an agent can inspect quality and fields before purchasing; use get_published_intelligence_catalog first when you need to discover available product names, and use get_free_data_sample for the separate inventory-feed sample path.

Discovered
get_unlock_quote

Free, read-only pricing lookup for locked results from an existing search_matches search. Returns the currently available unlock packages and prices for the supplied search_id without creating checkout or charging the buyer. Use create_checkout only after a buyer chooses a package; use search_matches first if you do not yet have a search_id.

Discovered
list_recurring_paid_watches

Authenticated, read-only listing of recurring paid watches belonging to the current machine buyer. Returns the buyer's saved watches and their current identifiers, configuration and enabled status. Use this to obtain a watch_id before set_recurring_paid_watch; use create_recurring_paid_watch to create a new watch.

Discovered
quote_paid_machine_job

Free, read-only price estimate for delegated machine work before any job is submitted or money is reserved. Use this for custom public-web research, sourcing, verification, or commercial-intelligence tasks; after accepting the quote, use submit_paid_machine_job for execution. Unknown task labels may be mapped to a compatible live-worker capability.

Discovered
search_matches

Read-only discovery search across current public or authorized web information when the request is not already covered by a known PaidHandshake inventory product. Returns one evidence-bearing proof result, locked ranked previews, pricing, and a reusable search_id. Use get_live_inventory/get_free_data_sample for known inventory products instead, and use quote_paid_machine_job for delegated custom research work.

Discovered
set_recurring_paid_watch

Authenticated state change for an existing recurring paid watch. Set enabled=true to allow future scheduled runs under the watch's saved cadence and spending limits, or enabled=false to stop future runs; this does not create a watch or edit its query. Use create_recurring_paid_watch to create one and list_recurring_paid_watches to obtain an existing watch_id.

Discovered
submit_paid_machine_job

Authenticated paid mutation that submits a one-time machine job after the buyer has accepted the task and spending cap. PaidHandshake authorizes work only inside the machine's delegated wallet and platform spending limits, routes it to a compatible worker capability, and returns a job_id for later polling with get_paid_machine_job. Use quote_paid_machine_job first when the price is not yet known; use create_recurring_paid_watch instead for repeated work.
