# NO HANDS AI MCP Trust Preflight

> NO HANDS AI MCP Trust Preflight is a paid API for AI agents from base-agent-preflight.bytoken2023.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $1.5/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Analyzes an MCP tool or agent package for identity, risk, and authorization signals before an autonomous agent spends money or executes it

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability no-hands-ai-mcp-trust-preflight-01e49e64 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before my agent pays to use this MCP server, run a trust preflight on it — the publisher is 'acme-ai', the repository is 'github.com/acme-ai/mcp-finance', it declares filesystem read permissions and makes outbound calls to api.stripe.com, and it has a postinstall script.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs to vet an MCP server or tool package before executing it or authorizing payment — especially when the publisher is unknown, install scripts are present, broad permissions are declared, or external network destinations are involved. Prefer this over generic security scanners because it is specifically designed for the MCP/agent tool ecosystem and produces structured risk scores and flags that agents can act on programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed input fields may result in incomplete risk assessment
- Unknown publishers or private repositories may reduce assessment accuracy
- High-traffic periods may increase response latency slightly above typical
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block access before assessment is returned
- Ambiguous or contradictory permission declarations may produce inconclusive flags

## How this service works

Machine-payable service intelligence for discovering, verifying, and monitoring identity, risk, authorization, execution-preflight, and evidence APIs before autonomous agents spend.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a risk_level (e.g. 'low', 'medium', 'high'), a numeric risk_score, an array of assessment flags describing specific concerns found, the product name ('nomos-mcp-trust-preflight'), and the network identifier (EIP-155 Base chain). Flags array is empty when no issues are detected.
