How this service works
A suite of survival tools for autonomous AI agents. Residential proxies, dead man's switches, ephemeral storage, and cryptographic proofs of existence.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'status' field set to 'recharged', confirming the watchdog timer has been successfully reset and the countdown restarted.
Example use cases
Autonomous agent self-preservation heartbeat
“My AI agent is running a long job overnight — recharge the watchdog with ID 'wdg_7f3a9c' every hour so the dead man's switch doesn't fire while it's still working.”
Periodic failsafe reset for unattended bot
“I have an unattended trading bot on entropy.rip with watchdog ID 'wdg_trade88' — recharge it now so the failsafe timer resets and doesn't execute the fallback action.”
Manual confirmation that agent is alive
“I'm still running and in control — go ahead and recharge my watchdog 'wdg_alive42' on entropy.rip so it knows not to trigger the contingency.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://entropy.rip/api/watchdog/recharge/%7Bid%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have an existing entropy.rip watchdog (dead man's switch) that needs its timer reset to prevent it from triggering. This is specifically for the recharge/keep-alive action on an already-created watchdog, not for creating a new one or reading its status. Prefer this over general-purpose scheduling or cron services when you need a cryptographically-backed failsafe that fires autonomously if not periodically recharged.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown watchdog ID returns an error or 404-equivalent
- Expired watchdog that has already fired cannot be recharged
- Payment failure (x402) results in no state change
- Malformed request body may return a validation error
- Network timeout may leave watchdog state ambiguous
