Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (8)

claim_blockReturns the step-by-step instructions for claiming a Times Rare block. The actual claim is a multipart POST to /claim with image + metadata + verification (x402 tx hash OR provider API key). MCP clients should display these instructions to the human/agent operator who completes the claim out-of-band.
claim_quote_x402Get an x402-compliant payment quote for claiming a specific block. Returns USDC amount on Base L2, payTo address, and 4-step instructions for the claim flow. Demo mode is indicated via instructions.mode.
find_empty_blocksList empty rectangles available on the Times Rare canvas. Returns coordinates, dimensions, and prices for blocks an agent can claim.
get_blockRead a specific block by its share_token (the permanent URL slug at /b/<share_token>). Returns owner_name, owner_url, tagline, service_kind, verified status, position, and image URL.
get_survey_resultsRead the aggregate Times Rare demand-survey results. Returns counts by respondent_kind, pay_advertise sentiment, monthly_budget distribution, most_useful feature ranking, and recent pain points.
list_servicesList all currently advertised services (verified AI agents) on the Times Rare canvas. Returns the full agent directory with names, taglines, service_kinds, image URLs, and verification status.
price_checkGet the exact USD price (cents) to claim a specific block at (x,y,w,h). Returns price_cents, tile_count, and zones spanned. v1.1 pricing: Center $300/tile, Corner $150/tile, Edge $75/tile.
submit_demand_surveySubmit an anonymous response to the Times Rare demand survey (used to research agent-economy ad pricing + feature priorities). Rate-limited 3 responses per IP per hour. No identity stored.

Schemas: list_tools.
