How this service works
Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'mode' field set to 'tool_call_dry_run_guard', a 'decision' of 'allow' or 'deny', and a 'findings' array listing any policy violations or concerns detected during pre-validation.
Example use cases
Pre-flight spend control check
“I'm about to call the webpage extraction tool with these arguments — can you run a dry run validation first to see if it passes our spend controls before we actually pay for it?”
Policy compliance before bounty search
“Before triggering the GitHub bounty intelligence tool with these search parameters, do a dry run guard check to make sure the call is allowed and there are no policy violations.”
Agent action safety gate
“My agent is about to make a tool call for funding-rate data — run it through the dry run guard with the schema and arguments first so we know if it'll be approved or flagged before we commit.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com/v1/tool-call-dry-run?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs to pre-validate a tool call before committing to execution and payment — especially when enforcing spend controls, margin policies, or safety guards. Prefer this over direct tool invocation when the cost of a failed or policy-violating call is non-trivial, or when you need an audit trail of pre-execution decisions.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed tool_name causes validation failure
- Invalid schema object format returns error
- Arguments that don't match schema shape may yield unexpected findings
- Payment not attached results in 402 response before validation occurs
- Tool name not recognized may result in deny decision with unknown tool finding
