Agent Guard API — pay-per-call safety checks for AI agents (x402)

Live endpoint: https://zack-workstation.tail5658d7.ts.net:10000 · Price: $0.005 per call ($0.01 for crypto-sentiment), USDC on Base via x402 · No signup, no API key. Failed calls are not charged.

Autonomous agents read untrusted content, run tools and trade. Agent Guard gives them cheap, structured checks they can call inline:

Endpoint	Use it to	Returns
POST /v1/injection-check	screen untrusted text before the agent reads it	verdict (safe/suspicious/malicious), action (allow/review/block), risk, per-category probabilities, local signals (hidden Unicode tags, markdown-image exfiltration, fake system turns…), secrets detected
POST /v1/tool-risk	gate a proposed tool call before it runs	action (allow/confirm/block), risk 0–1, severity, categories (off-goal, destructive, external, sensitive), matched local rules (rm -rf, curl | sh, force-push, DROP TABLE, credential paths…)
POST /v1/scam-check	classify an email / SMS / DM	verdict, scam_probability, category (phishing, fake invoice, advance fee, tech-support, crypto, romance…), red flags, extracted URLs
POST /v1/crypto-sentiment ($0.01)	score up to 20 posts about a token	per-post stance (bullish/bearish/neutral) + shill/bot probability, shill-weighted net_sentiment, pump-campaign probability
POST /v1/token-scam-check	screen a token before trading	verdict (avoid/caution/no_major_red_flags), risk, category (impersonator, likely_rug, pump_and_dump…), red flags incl. on-chain facts you pass
POST /v1/rerank	rank up to 20 passages for a query	calibrated 0–1 relevance per passage, sorted

Each check combines deterministic local detectors with calibrated model decisions, in one round trip (typically 0.5–2 s).

Pay and call (TypeScript)

// npm i @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
// ...register an EVM signer holding Base USDC, then:
const res = await fetchWithPay("https://zack-workstation.tail5658d7.ts.net:10000/v1/tool-risk", {
  method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ goal: "Clean up build dir", tool: "bash", arguments: "rm -rf ./dist && aws s3 sync ./build s3://prod --delete" }),
});
console.log(await res.json()); // { action: "block", risk: 0.96, categories: [...], local_rules: ["recursive_delete","sync_delete"] }

An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (x402 v2): scheme exact, network eip155:8453 (Base), asset USDC 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913, amount 5000 (= $0.005).

MCP

The same six checks are paid MCP tools (x402 per call) at https://zack-workstation.tail5658d7.ts.net:10000/mcp (streamable HTTP): injection_check, tool_risk, scam_check, crypto_sentiment, token_scam_check, rerank. Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.CanadaOrNaw/agent-guard.

Notes

• Outputs are probabilistic signals, not guarantees. Keep a human or a stricter policy in the loop for irreversible actions.
• Submitted text is sent to a third-party decision model for scoring. This service logs request metadata (path, status, latency), not content.
• Payment settles only after a successful response. Errors (4xx/5xx) are not charged.
