Example prompt: Can you explain what the Business Utils Agent can do for me — specifically what endpoints are available for things like ROI calculations, profit margin analysis, or reviewing a business plan?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or document what capabilities the Business Utils Agent offers before making targeted calculation calls. It is the service-discovery entry point — ideal for onboarding, capability enumeration, or building dynamic agent workflows that adapt to available endpoints. Prefer this over directly calling calculation endpoints when you are unsure which endpoint handles a given metric.

## Known failure modes

- Service may be unavailable if the Railway deployment is offline or cold-starting, returning a 5xx error
- Invalid or malformed properties query parameter may return an empty or generic response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) may prevent access if the 0.0015 USDC micropayment is not resolved
- Response schema may vary if the service is updated without documentation changes
