How this service works
Decision procedure for an agent deciding whether a discovered API capability is real, indexed, and safe to pay before it authorizes settlement. Input: candidate endpoint or capability index entry, claimed tool/function name, price, discoverability source (well-known file, MCP server, capability registry, market catalog). Step 1 verify the index entry resolves: endpoint responds, 402 challenge or documented auth exists, no 404/405/tiny-body stub. Step 2 check capability match: claimed function
Output
Returns a structured result with an 'ok' boolean, a 'brief' prose explanation of the decision procedure for the agent, the service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), an ISO-8601 timestamp, and payment metadata including payer and transaction details — giving the agent a clear go/no-go signal before settling.
Example use cases
Gating payment on MCP tool legitimacy
“I found an MCP server listing a tool called 'invoice-ocr' priced at 0.005 USDC — before my agent pays, can you run the pre-payment check to confirm the endpoint resolves, the function matches, and it's not a 404 stub?”
Validating bazaar-crawled capability before settlement
“My agent is about to settle on a capability it discovered from bazaar — run the discoverability gate check on it first so I know the endpoint responds with a proper 402 challenge and isn't a tiny-body placeholder.”
Screening well-known file listings before agent wallet debit
“We have a well-known file pointing to a new data API at $0.002 per call — can you do the capability index pre-payment check to verify the entry is real and the claimed tool name actually matches before my agent authorizes the debit?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev/api/services/agent-capability-index-api-discoverability-for-a?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent has discovered a paid API capability from any source (well-known file, MCP server, capability registry, market catalog) and needs a structured go/no-go decision before authorizing any x402 or USDC settlement. Prefer this over ad-hoc checks when the discoverability source is bazaar, agentic.market, or a facilitator listing, where stub or fraudulent entries are possible.
Side effects
- Endpoint returns 404/405 or tiny body indicating a stub — procedure flags as unsafe to pay
- Capability name mismatch between index entry and actual endpoint behavior — returns ok:false
- Endpoint unreachable or times out — resolution check fails
- Discoverability source unrecognized or untrusted — procedure cannot confirm indexing
- Payment challenge (402) absent and no documented auth — flagged as non-conformant
