MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~634 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
escrow_create ~120

Create a USDC escrow to protect an agent-to-agent transaction. Funds are locked until you confirm delivery (release) or flag a problem (dispute).
