verify_before_pay
Should my agent pay this endpoint right now? Free key - a free pk_free_ key covers it against a shared 10 calls/day; $0.25 per call via x402 beyond it. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. CALL THIS BEFORE YOUR AGENT AUTHORIZES ANY x402 PAYMENT. An unpaid GET and POST at query time decode the 402 from the body AND the payment-required header; HTTP 200 is never treated as live. A contract mismatch is route:false and names the field (network, asset, seller, price). Includes independent paid-fulfillment results where available — whether a third party has actually paid this endpoint and got a valid response back, with the settlement hash. Test the result with route === true: the string "inconclusive" is truthy, and it is the one case where you must not pay on our say-so. The bias is deliberate: where evidence is incomplete, verify_before_pay favors inconclusive over a false pass — it will more often decline to clear a good endpoint than clear a bad one. route: t
check_payee
Is this the seller's wallet, before my agent pays it? Fast payee check before an agent pays. Send the resource URL and the payment terms you are about to sign: payee wallet, network and amount. Paddock answers from its daily settlement record in one call, with no live probe, and returns pass, warn, fail or unknown. Only fail recommends blocking. Free without a key up to 25 checks a day, or 1000 a day with a free key. For a full check against the seller's live payment terms, use verify_before_pay. Past the free limits, $0.01 per call over x402.
get_market_summary
How big is agent commerce today? (The citation number.) Keyless - no key, no payment, no rate limit. Returns daily transactions, USDC spend, unique buyer agents, live providers, and top categories by share. Each category's share_of_transactions is its share of CATEGORIZED (attributed) transactions — named categories only, NOT a share of the full-ecosystem daily_transactions total; only the top 6 are returned, so the shown shares sum to <100% by design.
get_liveness
Was this domain up at last night's probe, per someone who isn't the seller? Free key - a free pk_free_ key covers it against a shared 10 calls/day; $0.001 per call via x402 beyond it. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Per-domain 7-day share of probes that succeeded, latency p50/p95, sample counts, and last-probe time — including domains with no payment history at all. Sourced from an independent third-party monitoring feed, captured NIGHTLY: this is a daily series, not a live probe — for a check taken at query time use verify_before_pay. up is 7-day share of probes that succeeded >= 0.95 across every probed endpoint on the domain.
get_circular_signal
Is this facilitator's volume real, or is it paying itself? Paid - $0.99 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Wash/circular-settlement signal per facilitator: flagged clusters, flagged volume and share, self-funding percentage, detection date. Methodology public (v0.1). Patterns attach to the facilitator only — no seller wallet addresses, operator identity, or per-wallet rows are ever returned.
get_best_value_provider
Which provider in this category should my agent pick? Paid - $0.02 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Ranks a category by reliability (7-day share of probes that succeeded), reputation (unique buyers), and price, returning every input so the score can be checked. The composite formula is published in the route and in the docs, and Paddock does not sell positions in this ranking. Valid categories: llm, data, search, infra, content, markets, payments, comms (aliases accepted).
get_category_detail
Who's selling in this category, and who's actually getting paid? Free key - a free pk_free_ key covers it against a shared 10 calls/day. Every service in a category with daily transactions, USDC volume, unique buyers, and reliability score, from the nightly snapshot. Valid categories: llm, data, search, infra, content, markets, payments, comms. Accepts common aliases (e.g. 'LLM inference' -> llm, 'scraping' -> data, 'trading' -> markets, 'defi' -> markets).
get_niche_gaps
Where is demand outrunning supply? Free key - a free pk_free_ key covers it against a shared 10 calls/day; $0.01 per call via x402 beyond it. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Every category ranked by opportunity score (high volume, few providers), with concentration and an Open/Tightening/Consolidating/Mature signal, and the published thresholds behind that label.
get_changes
What changed since a date I name? Paid - $0.10 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Diffs today against any snapshot up to 90 days back — new services, retired services, category share shifts, top movers, with the figures on both sides.
get_whale_activity
Where did the large settlements go? Paid - $0.99 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Large settlements over a window, aggregated by facilitator, category and size band, plus per-category mover counts. Size and where, never who — no individual seller identity is returned.
get_token_metrics
Is today's number a real move or ordinary noise? Free key - a free pk_free_ key covers it against a shared 10 calls/day; $0.01 per call via x402 beyond it. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Paddock's own first-party series — the same chart data the public /charts page reads — queryable by metric and date range. Metrics: spend_share_over_time, daily_transactions, category_concentration, new_services, liveness_score, aci. The aci metric returns the Agent Commerce Index series, which is SUSPENDED (ADR 0006): existing prints are retained and served, no new prints are computed, so that series does not advance. This is Paddock's series, not token prices; third-party token market data is deliberately not resold here.
get_provider_revenue
Who earns the most, and how much of the market can that answer see? Paid - $0.99 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Over MCP only, 1 free trial call/day is available without a key. Resolved by payTo wallet attribution, not by counting events. ATTRIBUTED universe only, never the full-ecosystem census: facilitator pass-through and circular-flagged wallets are excluded from the leaderboard; unresolved wallets are not dropped — they surface as one explicit unattributed row (transaction share only, no dollar figure exists for them). Also reports whether the recipient list was complete on every aggregated day, and flags (retroactive_exclusion_caveat) any day before 2026-07-28 where a wallet added to the exclusion lists afterward could not be retroactively re-checked.
get_report_data
What are the numbers behind the monthly report? Paid - $0.99 per call via x402, or a Builder / Pro Agent key. Metadata is free. No free trial on this tool. The monthly State of Agent Commerce as structured JSON: every figure with its universe label and methodology version, plus trends, category breakdowns, protocol comparison and reliability. Any Agent Commerce Index (ACI) block is a retained historical print — the index is suspended (ADR 0006) and no new prints are computed. Free metadata (title, TOC, executive summary excerpt) is available without payment at /api/mcp/report-data.
