## MCP tools (3)

### `list_services` (~54 tokens)

Lists what Bacon Services sells to agents right now, from its live catalog: each service's price in USDC, network, output, input limits, and whether this installed package can run it (and as which tool). Free.

### `quote` (~61 tokens)

Gets Bacon's current price for one service without paying, and says whether your spending limits and wallet allow it. Free; nothing is signed.

Input parameters:

- `service` (string, required): A tool name (e.g. remove_background) or service id (e.g. remove-background).

### `wallet_status` (~73 tokens)

Shows the payment network, whether a wallet is configured, your spending limits and what is left of them, and whether the wallet can afford each service (yes/no). Free. The exact balance is shown only if the buyer enabled BACON_DISCLOSE_BALANCE.

Input parameters:

- `service` (string): Optional: only check this service.
