MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~298 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_service ~91

Fast pre-payment check of an x402 service. Returns Assay's quality tier (gold/ok/avoid/unrated) with a one-line verdict, based on real paid probes with on-chain receipts. Use before paying an unfamiliar x402 endpoint. The url must be the service's resource URL exactly as advertised (e.g. in the Bazaar).

get_score ~75

Detailed quality report for an x402 service: composite score (0-100), component breakdown (payment settlement, schema conformance, ground-truth accuracy, LLM-judged quality), 7-day trend, and probe count. Backed by real paid probes.

One call to order a list of candidate x402 services best-first by Assay's quality tier (gold/ok/avoid/unrated/unknown), backed by real paid probes. Use when choosing which of several services to pay. Free. For per-service evidence, follow up with get_score.
