TruthBear AI Tool Lifecycle Status Chain
x402
TruthBear AI Tool Lifecycle Status Chain is a paid API for AI agents from api.truthbear.co, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).
Runs a 3-leg sequential chain to assess whether a monitored AI tool is live or dead, using DNS/GitHub checks and lifecycle history with decay warnings and days-alive confirmation.

How this service works
[3-LEG] AI tool and MCP chain, one tool (?entity=mammoth-ai): leading decay warnings, release cadence stalling and docs going dark -> current live or dead status from real DNS and GitHub checks -> realized lifecycle from launch to death with days alive (confirmation gate). A chain, not one reading: confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: DNS, GitHub, package registries. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.25 per call.
Output
A sequential 3-leg chain result including: (1) leading decay signals such as release cadence stalling and documentation going dark, (2) current live/dead status from real DNS and GitHub checks, and (3) realized lifecycle data from launch to potential death including days-alive count. Confidence is expressed as the number of legs successfully lit in order. Returns 422 with no_charge if no data is available.
Example use cases
Verify AI tool before integration
“Before we build on top of ElevenLabs, can you check if it's still live and actively maintained — I want to see its DNS status, GitHub activity, and how long it's been around?”
Due diligence on a stalling AI startup
“I've heard Midjourney has been going quiet lately — can you run the full 3-leg lifecycle check on it and tell me if there are decay warnings or if it's actually still healthy?”
Competitive intelligence on AI tool viability
“Can you check if Jasper AI is live or dying — I want the release cadence signal, whether their docs are still active, and a confirmed live/dead verdict from DNS and GitHub?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.truthbear.co/gauge/tool-regionWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-signal verdict on whether a specific AI tool or product is still live and actively maintained. It is particularly valuable for due diligence before integration, competitive monitoring, or detecting early decay signals before a product fully shuts down. Prefer this over generic uptime monitors because it combines DNS, GitHub activity, release cadence, and documentation signals into a single confidence-scored lifecycle chain specific to AI tools.
Side effects
- 422 no_charge returned when no data exists for the requested entity — not billed
- Invalid or unrecognized entity slug returns an error
- Entity not in the monitored catalog returns no results
- DNS or GitHub upstream unavailability may reduce confidence or omit legs
