Capabilities

Tools 21

compare_project_prices

Compare current indexed ETH/WETH lowest asking prices for up to ten chosen projects. Lowest ask is an affordability comparison, not intrinsic value or a return forecast. No trading.

Discovered
discover_apps

Find curated AB5D capabilities and apps listed on abx.io. Returns browser/app handoffs, not installation or execution.

Discovered
find_acquisition_opportunities

Rank indexed AB[500] asks by ETH per added percentage point of edition ownership. Excludes linked owner wallets and stops before a 50% asking-price jump. Prices are unverified, gas excluded; each row is a budget alternative, not a basket.

Discovered
get_abx_service_info

Read the documented ABX public service descriptor. Does not log in, register projects, sign, deploy or create credentials.

Discovered
get_artist_collector_tdh

Get one artist-specific collector TDH register by AB5D artist slug. Collector rows are paginated because large Raster-indexed oeuvres can contain thousands of current addresses.

Discovered
get_artist_otdh

Get one artist's oTDH rank, score, collector breadth, raw collector-days, project count, and snapshot metadata by AB5D artist slug.

Discovered
get_artwork

Look up a minted edition through the existing artwork API. Returns render and indexed public owner with timestamp, not full transfer history.

Discovered
get_bounty

Get one AB5D bounty task by identifier, including its current status and operational routes. Do not begin work unless the returned status is open.

Discovered
get_collection_holdings

Read AB5D institutional holdings and public credit lines from the existing cache. Reports pending data honestly.

Discovered
get_donor_credits

Find published accession and donor credit records. Absence is unknown, never an inferred donor.

Discovered
get_dossier

Get one artist's full structured biography by slug: subtitle, essay prose (markdown), identity (born/based/practice), works, images, and the verified bibliography with source URLs. Prose is CC0.

Discovered
get_otdh_methodology

Get the definition, formulas, full-universe coverage, limitations, discussion URL, and snapshot metadata for AB5D's artist-level Oeuvre Total Days Held metric.

Discovered

Discovered
list_artist_otdh

List the ranked oTDH records for all 308 AB[500] artists, or a limited leading subset. oTDH (out of 1,000) is a price-independent signal of how much of each work's life its current collector has held it, neutral to edition size, project count and release date.

Discovered

List every published AB[500] artist dossier (name, slug, subtitle, editions, tier, updated date). Use it to see which artists have a published biography.

Discovered
list_open_bounties

List every AB5D bounty that is currently open for claim, including reward, eligibility, claim route, submission route, protocol, and acceptance command. Only returned tasks are current offers.
