How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Endpoint Security80
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability46
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1710 tokens (~213/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management2
  • Stability check failed: schema churn in the 8 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 3 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage83
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 40% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (75% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

find_x402_tool ~206

Free buyer-side search across Ontario's fresh strict-ready paid profiles, Agentic Market, and Coinbase CDP Bazaar. Rank public, credential-free endpoint candidates by task relevance plus bounded source-reported recent activity, with optional Base/USDC budget filtering. Paid Ontario publication adds no ranking score. This is discovery, not a safety certification; run readiness and can-pay before spending. When the query is provider-side publication intent, skip buyer marketplace search and return the free listing validator followed by the gated 0.50 USDC publication workflow.

NameTypeReqDescription
active_onlybooleanWhen true, require recent source-reported activity or fresh strict-ready Ontario profile evidence.

ontario_agent-pay-query-v2 ~360

Live x402 endpoint readiness check before payment. This x402 paid API verification service helps verify an x402 endpoint before an AI agent pays: probe one public paid API and inspect the HTTP 402 challenge, payTo address, price, Base USDC network and asset, manifest freshness, buyer budget, and spend policy. Returns ALLOW or DENY with reasons, readiness score, report ID, settlement metadata, and a settlement-backed SHA-256 evidence receipt. Run free can-pay and readiness checks first. Readiness evidence is not a safety guarantee. Agent payment guidance: run free can-pay and readiness checks first; pay only when policy allows base 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 and 0.002 USDC is inside the agent budget. [PAID: 0.002 USDC via x402 on Base. Two-step flow: call without _x402_payment to receive the x402 payment requirements, then call again with _x402_payment set to a base64 x402 PaymentPayload to settle and receive the result.]

NameTypeReqDescription
_x402_paymentstringbase64 x402 PaymentPayload (USDC on Base); obtain the requirements by calling this tool without it first.
agent_policystringPolicy posture used to produce the allow or deny decision.
endpointstringyesPublic x402 paid API URL to probe and verify before an autonomous agent pays.
max_usdcstringOptional maximum endpoint price allowed by the buyer policy.
querystringOptional task context for the payment decision. When omitted, Ontario performs a general live x402 endpoint readiness check.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

ontario_list-service ~346

Use only when the caller owns an x402 endpoint and wants a public provider profile, live readiness scan, evidence link, and conditional fresh ready-grade eligibility in strict /discover and Ontario's task-to-tool buyer search, with a privacy-safe 30-day profile request receipt. A paid profile supersedes an older free preview for the same endpoint and method in public catalogs. Validate and run readiness first; payment does not guarantee a ready grade, traffic, ranking, purchases, or safety. Agent payment guidance: run free can-pay and readiness checks first; pay only when policy allows base 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 and 0.50 USDC is inside the agent budget. [PAID: 0.50 USDC via x402 on Base. Two-step flow: call without _x402_payment to receive the x402 payment requirements, then call again with _x402_payment set to a base64 x402 PaymentPayload to settle and receive the result.]

ontario_purchase_router ~212

Free deterministic pre-purchase routing across Ontario tools. Use this before any paid Ontario tool to decide whether the task is free-only, needs free preflight, or is eligible for a paid result after wallet, Base network, and explicit budget gates. Provider jobs such as publishing, registering, or making an x402 endpoint discoverable can route to the self-serve 0.50 USDC publication product after preflight. This tool never invokes another tool, signs a payload, or spends funds.

NameTypeReqDescription
free_preflight_completebooleanTrue only after the recommended free check has completed for this task.
max_usdcstringOptional explicit per-call USDC ceiling. The router never increases it.
networkstringWallet policy network; Ontario paid tools currently require Base mainnet.

ontario_refresh-listing ~245

Use only for an existing paid Ontario provider profile when the caller wants a fresh live readiness observation attached to its canonical HTML, JSON twin, and badge. This tool cannot edit provider metadata, improve a grade by payment, or buy ranking or traffic. Agent payment guidance: run free can-pay and readiness checks first; pay only when policy allows base 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 and 0.10 USDC is inside the agent budget. [PAID: 0.10 USDC via x402 on Base. Two-step flow: call without _x402_payment to receive the x402 payment requirements, then call again with _x402_payment set to a base64 x402 PaymentPayload to settle and receive the result.]

NameTypeReqDescription

paid_refresh_txstringOne-use retry reference only when a settled refresh could not complete.

x402_readiness_verify ~73

Free check for whether a paid endpoint is ready for agent discovery and x402 payment. Returns a grade-aware provider handoff: validate listing metadata free before any optional 0.50 USDC publication, and do not pay for publication while the endpoint is not ready-grade.
