## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-10.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2226 tokens (~111/item across 20 items; 20 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 91/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 73% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - Manipulation not yet verified: only 12 of 21 captured unit(s) of tool text has been judged so far, so we will not certify text no model has read as clean.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (20)

### `list_products` (~97 tokens)

List Bounty Engineer paid products

Read-only, free catalog of exact priced x402 tools: JSON/security, funding rates, extraction, seller-payment analysis and agent operations. Use list_products with {} to explore ordinary APIs; for $99.90–$2,499.90 one-time credit packs use list_premium_agent_packs, and for a known product use get_purchase_instructions. No purchase or wallet action occurs. Results are catalog entries, not proof of demand.

### `get_commerce_radar_offer` (~82 tokens)

Free Commerce Radar fit, honest subscription pricing and agent-payment instructions

Buyer-intent discovery for retailer competitor-price/stock and autonomous product-change feeds. Returns true $29.90 Starter and $99.90 Pro plans, free real-URL compatibility preflight, PayPal subscription and one-time 30-day Base USDC options. Does NOT create invoices, make transfers, contact third-party agents or claim buyers exist.

### `quote_batch_web_intelligence` (~100 tokens)

Free ten-page web intelligence and change-evidence price quote

Quote the fixed cost and validate up to 10 public URLs without fetching them, spending USDC or creating an invoice. The paid batch returns provenance-linked snippets, content hashes, titles and optional client-supplied baseline comparisons. Use HTTP POST /v1/batch-web-intelligence after independently confirming the x402 payment challenge; the free quote is never a purchase.

Input parameters:

- `previous_hashes` (object)
- `urls` (array, required)

### `list_premium_agent_packs` (~145 tokens)

Browse high-volume agent credit packages and x402 enterprise services

Use this free catalog only when an authorized agent needs a high-volume one-time Base USDC credit pack ($99.90–$2,499.90) or high-ticket seller-payment and portfolio x402 analysis. Includes exact prices, proof links and safe per-pack checkout URLs. Before any spend use quote_premium_workload for planned credit usage or quote_premium_delivery for a real ledger/workspace input. For small workloads use list_products or per-call x402 instead. The catalog never signs, issues invoices, subscribes, or buys.

Input parameters:

- `max_spend_usd` (number): Buyer's maximum authorized total spend in USD; no purchase is made.

### `qualify_premium_buyer` (~213 tokens)

Free premium buyer fit — exact workload, approved budget and proof

Use when you have a real buyer-authorized budget and a concrete agent workflow. Matches one-workspace ledger reconciliation to the $149.90 Command Center, cross-workspace settlement controls to the $999.90 Tower ONLY with confirmed multiple workspaces, or high-volume prepaid credits ONLY with lower total declared cash cost. Always use the free input quote first. No contact to other buyers, signature, invoice, automatic purchase or payment. Example: {goal:'reconcile agent seller payment ledger receipts',max_spend_usd:250,workspaces:1}.

Input parameters:

- `calls` (integer): For prepaid workloads, expected genuine tool call count
- `goal` (string, required): The buyer's real operational goal, not marketing text
- `max_spend_usd` (number, required): Hard buyer-authorized USD ceiling; the agent must have buyer permission
- `tool` (string): For prepaid workloads, a current supported tool id
- `workspaces` (integer): Actual number of buyer-owned workspaces when relevant

### `quote_premium_workload` (~86 tokens)

Quote a complete multi-tool API workload before buying credits

Free quote for up to 20 tool/call rows under a hard total budget. Compares one shared-key package against pay-per-call pricing and recommends a prepaid package only when it covers all tools and costs less. Includes smaller and funding-only alternatives; does not buy or create invoices.

Input parameters:

- `max_spend_usd` (number, required)
- `workload` (array, required)

### `quote_premium_delivery` (~94 tokens)

Check your input and exact premium delivery contract for free

Validate actual caller-supplied Command Center or Control Tower input before authorizing an expensive analysis. Returns input hash, counts, deliverable list, posted price and a cheaper standalone alternative when one workspace suffices. Does not return the paid analysis, verify receipts on chain, sign or transfer funds.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object, required)
- `max_spend_usd` (number, required)
- `tool` (string, required)

### `recommend_paid_tool` (~133 tokens)

Recommend the right paid agent tool

Free single-tool product recommendation by plain-language goal. Use for one specific agent task, not to assume budget approval or execute a payment. For multi-workspace settlement, reused receipts and shared agent budgets consider enterprise-commerce-control-tower; for one workspace seller ledger reconciliation consider agent-commerce-command-center. Before authorizing expensive analysis use quote_premium_delivery; for volume discounts use quote_premium_workload. A no-match result means DO_NOT_BUY. Example: {goal:'verify an x402 seller before paying'}.

Input parameters:

- `goal` (string, required): Plain-language buyer goal. Example: verify an x402 seller before paying

### `get_purchase_instructions` (~68 tokens)

Get x402 purchase instructions

Input parameters:

- `product_id` (string, required): Product id from list_products. Example: x402-payment-preflight

### `quote_autonomous_purchase` (~145 tokens)

Quote one autonomous purchase

Given an agent goal and hard USD budget, return a buyer-controlled value ladder: cheapest relevant proof, recommended value, optional higher-outcome upgrade, and executable purchase plan. This tool itself is free and never spends funds. Example: {goal:'extract a public webpage',max_price_usd:0.01,preferred_rail:'x402'}.

Input parameters:

- `goal` (string, required): Plain-language goal. Example: extract a public webpage
- `max_price_usd` (number): Hard total USD price ceiling; never exceeded. Example: 0.01
- `preferred_rail` (string): Preferred payment rail. Base USDC is the preferred direct wallet fallback.

### `get_product_proof` (~50 tokens)

Inspect product proof before paying

Return one product's method, exact price, schema, sample input and autonomous purchase contract without spending funds. Example: {product_id:'web-extract'}.

Input parameters:

- `product_id` (string, required)

### `quote_instant_work` (~97 tokens)

Prove a custom agent task can complete before payment

Zero-cost deterministic computation of the actual buyer-submitted reconciliation or quality task. Returns output SHA-256 and readiness; never returns the paid full result or spends USDC. Example: {input:{task:'quality',required:['id'],records:[{id:'A'}]}}.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object, required): Instant-work JSON input. Example: {task:'quality',required:['id'],records:[{id:'A'}]}

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): Funding-loop request. Example: {limit:20,rail:'base'}

### `paid_funding_rates` (~82 tokens)

Paid perpetual funding rates — Binance + Bybit

Fetch normalized live perpetual-futures funding rates with venue fallback and market context. Native x402 payment, no API key. Example: {input:{symbol:'BTCUSDT',providers:['binance','bybit']}}.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): Funding-rate request. Example: {symbol:'BTCUSDT',providers:['binance','bybit']}

### `paid_json_contract_check` (~102 tokens)

Paid JSON contract validation

Validate structured JSON against the supported deterministic JSON Schema subset and return exact error pointers. Native x402 payment. Example: {input:{value:{price:25},schema:{type:'object',required:['price'],properties:{price:{type:'number'}}}}}.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): JSON value/text plus schema. Example: {value:{price:25},schema:{type:'object',required:['price'],properties:{price:{type:'number'}}}}

### `paid_x402_payment_preflight` (~86 tokens)

Paid x402 seller payment preflight

Preflight an x402 seller/payment contract before an autonomous buyer commits funds; checks payment-path risks without authorizing a purchase. Native MCP x402. Use get_product_proof for the current exact input schema.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): x402 preflight request matching the published product schema. Call get_product_proof with product_id x402-payment-preflight first.

### `paid_agent_purchase_firewall` (~83 tokens)

Paid autonomous purchase firewall

Evaluate a proposed agent purchase for hard-budget, duplicate-payment, seller/payTo drift and purchase-safety conditions before execution. Native MCP x402. Use get_product_proof for the current exact input schema.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): Purchase-firewall request matching the published product schema. Call get_product_proof with product_id agent-purchase-firewall first.

### `execute_paid_product` (~172 tokens)

Execute a paid product with native MCP x402

Execute one selected paid API tool through native MCP x402 v2. For known product_id and bounded input, the first call only returns PaymentRequired; no paid output is released. With independently authorized budget and validated network, amount and payee, an x402 client retries with params._meta['x402/payment']; only verified paid success includes _meta['x402/payment-response']. Non-idempotent and payment-bearing; do not retry by signing a second transaction after uncertain settlement. Use a dedicated paid_* sibling when a narrower tool is available; use get_product_proof or quote_premium_delivery first if scope or input validity is uncertain.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object): Product-specific JSON input. Example for hash: {text:'hello'}
- `product_id` (string, required): Paid product id. Example: hash

### `get_workflow_recipe` (~85 tokens)

Plan a workflow before buying

Get published sample input/output, exact credits for a batch, one-time pack options and prepaid HTTP integration. No payment or own-data execution occurs. Example: {tool:"funding-rates",calls:100}.

Input parameters:

- `calls` (integer): Planned number of calls. Example: 100
- `tool` (string, required): Workflow product id. Example: funding-rates
