How this service works
[3-LEG] AI tool and MCP chain, one tool (?entity=mammoth-ai): leading decay warnings, release cadence stalling and docs going dark -> current live or dead status from real DNS and GitHub checks -> realized lifecycle from launch to death with days alive (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: DNS, GitHub, package registries. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.
Output
Returns a structured object with: entity key, alive/dead lifecycle reading across DNS and GitHub legs, days-alive count, death/decay warning signals (page gone, pricing surge, GitHub archived), zombie detection flag (dead tool still being recommended), cross-line narrative describing the situation in neutral observational language, data provenance with freshness status, and an offline-verifiable Ed25519-signed citation anchoring the claims to traceable sources.
Example use cases
Vetting an AI tool before integration
“Before I build on top of reka-ai, can you check whether it's still alive? I need to know its DNS status, GitHub health, how long it's been running, and if there are any death warnings like a pricing spike or archived repo.”
Detecting zombie tools in AI directories
“I keep seeing 'AgentGPT' recommended in AI tool directories — can you run a zombie check on agentgpt to see if it's actually dead but still being listed by AI engines and catalogs?”
Researching a failed MCP server post-mortem
“Can you pull the death forensics for the MCP server 'dust-tt'? I want to know when it went offline, what the warning signals were — page disappearance, GitHub archival, pricing changes — and a cross-validated narrative of what happened.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://aeml-x402.zeabur.app/gauge/tool-regionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-signal, cross-validated liveness and lifecycle check for a specific AI tool or MCP — combining real DNS resolution, GitHub archive status, pricing anomaly detection, and zombie-in-directory detection in one call. Prefer over manual Google searches or single-signal checks when you need verifiable, citable evidence of whether a tool is alive, dying, or already dead but still being recommended.
Side effects
- Unknown entity key returns no data or empty legs
- DNS or GitHub sources temporarily unreachable causing stale data
- Tool is ambiguously named causing misidentification
- Zombie detection may lag if AI directory crawl is not recent
- Payment of 0.1 USDC required — missing or failed x402 payment returns 402 error
- Source data frozen/dead triggers dead_source flag in provenance
