Tanod utilpeek Unicode Inspection

x402

Tanod utilpeek Unicode Inspection is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Inspects text for invisible, bidirectional, and look-alike (confusable) Unicode characters, optionally stripping dangerous characters or normalizing the text.

How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

Output

Returns a JSON object containing analysis results for the submitted text: detected invisible/bidi/zero-width characters, a UTS #39 confusable skeleton if requested, the text normalized to the specified form (NFC/NFD/NFKC/NFKD) if requested, a list of the first N code points with Unicode names and categories if requested, and/or the text with all invisible/control characters stripped if requested.

Example use cases

Homoglyph phishing URL detection

“This URL looks suspicious to me — can you check it for look-alike Unicode characters or homoglyphs that could be spoofing a real domain? Here it is: 'xn--pypal-4ve.com' — give me the confusable skeleton too.”

Sanitize user input before storage

“Before I save this user-submitted comment to my database, can you strip out any invisible zero-width characters, bidi controls, or tag characters from it and return the cleaned text?”

Audit smart contract identifier for spoofing

“I want to check this Solidity contract variable name for any hidden Unicode tricks — list the first 50 code points with their names and categories so I can see exactly what characters are in it.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://tanod.dev/v1/text/unicode?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need to detect Unicode-based security threats such as invisible characters, bidirectional text spoofing, or homoglyph/confusable character attacks in a string. It is ideal for security auditing of user input, identifiers, domain names, or smart contract code where hidden Unicode can cause exploits. It also handles Unicode normalization and code point enumeration in one call, making it more efficient than combining separate tools.

Side effects

Text exceeds 200,000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
Invalid normalization form value — returns schema validation error
Empty text input — rejected due to minLength:1 constraint
Malformed JSON body — returns HTTP 400 error
Payment not completed via x402 protocol — returns HTTP 402 Payment Required

Input

Field	Type	Description
text	string	The text (at most 200,000 characters).
skeleton	boolean	UTS #39 confusable skeleton of the whole text.
normalize	—	Also return the text in this normalization form: NFC, NFD, NFKC or NFKD (default none).
list_chars	integer	List the first N code points with name / category.
strip_invisible	boolean	Return the text without bidi / zero-width / tag / control characters.
