Core Concepts

Credits
1 credit = $0.001. Buy once, use across all endpoints. Minimum charge is 0.001 credits. Check your balance with GET /v1/auth/me.
🧠
Orchestration
Natural language in, structured data out. ClawNet picks the best endpoint from 12,000+ sources, fetches in parallel, returns one answer. You don't choose endpoints manually.
💾
Caching
Repeat queries cost 10% of the live price (min 0.1 credits). Automatic. Every response tells you if it was a cache hit or live fetch.
🔧
Data Skills
Curated, SLA-backed data endpoints on the Marketplace. Browse existing skills or register your own — earn 85% of every credit spent on your data.

Authentication

Three methods. Pick the one that fits your stack.

API Key
Pass your key in the X-API-Key header. Use this for server-to-server calls, scripts, bots, and agent integrations.
Wallet Signature (SIWX)
Zero-key onboarding — connect with just a wallet. Sign a challenge message, get a session and API key automatically. Supports Solana (Phantom) and all EVM chains (Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum). No email, no password, no registration form.
Clerk Session
Dashboard endpoints accept a Clerk session token via Authorization: Bearer {token}. Only for dashboard.html — you won't need this for API work.
curl https://api.claw-net.org/v1/auth/me \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-YOUR_KEY"
# 1. Get a nonce
curl https://api.claw-net.org/v1/auth/siwx/nonce

# 2. Sign the challenge with your wallet, then submit
curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/auth/siwx \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "message": "claw-net.org wants you to sign in with your Ethereum account:\n0xYourWallet...\n\nSign in to ClawNet\n\nURI: https://api.claw-net.org\nVersion: 1\nChain ID: 8453\nNonce: abc123xyz789",
    "signature": "0xabcdef..."
  }'

# Response includes your API key + session:
# { "ok": true, "apiKey": "cn-a1b2****c3d4", "session": { ... } }
curl https://api.claw-net.org/v1/auth/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOi..."
Your API key starts with cn-. Keep it secret. If compromised, regenerate it from the dashboard — your credits transfer to the new key automatically.

Sign-In-With-X (SIWX) — Wallet Authentication

Authenticate with your crypto wallet using CAIP-122. No email or password needed. Your wallet address is linked to a ClawNet API key and session automatically. Supports Solana (Phantom) and all EVM chains (Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum).

GET/v1/auth/siwx/nonce

Get a random nonce to include in your wallet-signed message. Nonces expire after 5 minutes.

{
  "nonce": "abc123xyz789",
  "expiresInSeconds": 300
}
POST/v1/auth/siwx

Submit your wallet-signed message. ClawNet verifies the signature, resolves or creates an API key for your wallet, and returns a session. Eliminates per-call x402 friction.

Body

    { "caip2": "eip155:42161", "name": "Arbitrum", "status": "supported" }
  ]
}

Programmatic SIWX (Agent-Friendly)

These POST variants are designed for agents and backend services that need to request nonces and verify signatures programmatically without browser interaction.

POST/v1/auth/siwx/nonce

Request a fresh SIWX nonce via POST. Accepts an optional chain parameter in the body to scope the nonce to a specific chain. Nonces expire after 5 minutes.

Public — no auth required, free
curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/auth/siwx/nonce \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "chain": "eip155:8453" }'
POST/v1/auth/siwx/verify

Verify a wallet signature and establish a session. Functionally equivalent to POST /v1/auth/siwx but uses the /verify path for clarity in agent workflows. Returns the linked API key and session token.

Public — no auth required, free

Body

NameTypeRequiredDescription

x402 Keyless Access

x402 is an open protocol for HTTP-native payments. Use ClawNet without an API key. Pay per call with USDC from your wallet — no account, no registration.

How It Works

📨
1. Send Request
Hit any /x402/* endpoint with a normal HTTP request. No API key needed.
💳
2. Get 402
ClawNet returns HTTP 402 with payment details: amount, recipient address, and network.
🖊
3. Wallet Signs
Your wallet signs the USDC transfer on Base. The x402 client library handles this automatically.
4. Get Response
Payment is verified by the facilitator. ClawNet executes the request and returns the response.

GET/x402/offer/:skillId

Pre-fetch x402 pricing for a specific skill (or orchestrate) without triggering a 402. Returns the full offer payload with payment amount, recipient, and network. Use this for upfront cost display before committing to a call.

    "network": "base-mainnet",
    "recipient": "0x...",
    "description": "Invoke ClawNet skill: token-sentiment"
  }],
  "x402Version": 2
}

x402 v2 Headers

ClawNet supports both x402 v1 and v2 headers for backward compatibility. Agents can send either header format on requests, and both are returned on responses.

VersionPayment HeaderOffer Header
v1X-PAYMENTX-PAYMENT-OFFER
v2PAYMENT-SIGNATUREPAYMENT-REQUIRED

Example: cURL

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/x402/orchestrate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "What is SOL trading at?"}'
# Returns 402 with payment details → wallet pays → response returned

Example: JavaScript with x402 Client

import { wrapAxios } from '@x402/axios';
import axios from 'axios';

const client = wrapAxios(axios, wallet); // wallet = your EVM signer
const res = await client.post('https://api.claw-net.org/x402/orchestrate', {
  query: 'What is SOL trading at?'
});
console.log(res.data);

Sandbox (Test Mode)

Test x402 without spending real USDC. No payment required — rate-limited per IP.

EndpointMethodRate Limit
/x402/test/skills/:idPOST10 calls/hour/IP
/x402/test/orchestratePOST5 calls/hour/IP

Discovery

EndpointDescription
GET /.well-known/x402.jsonFull x402 provider metadata — network, recipient address, facilitator, pricing
GET /.well-known/agent-card.jsonAgent discovery card — capabilities, auth methods, pricing model

Idempotency

All paid x402 endpoints are idempotent. If a network timeout causes a retry, the X-PAYMENT header is SHA-256 hashed and checked against previous receipts. Duplicate payments return the cached result with "idempotent": true — no double-execution, no double-charge.

Trust Chain (Receipt Verification)

GET /x402/verify/:requestId returns a complete trust chain — both halves of every transaction:

ProofWhat It ProvesWho Signs
Payment proofClient sent USDC to the recipientCoinbase facilitator (EVM signature)
Delivery proofClawNet executed the request and returned a resultClawNet platform (HMAC-SHA256)
// Verify a receipt — returns payment + delivery proof
const res = await fetch('https://api.claw-net.org/x402/verify/abc123xyz');
const { payment, delivery } = await res.json();
// payment.facilitatorReceipt — Coinbase-signed proof
// payment.payerAddress       — wallet that paid
// delivery.attestationId     — links to /v1/attest/verify/:id
// delivery.outcomeStatus     — success/failure/partial

Skills — Overview

Skills are reusable tools that anyone can create, sell, and compose on ClawNet. There are four types:

Prompt Template
LLM-powered analysis. You write a prompt with {{variables}}, and ClawNet fills them in, runs it through the orchestrator, and returns the answer.
API Proxy
Wraps any external HTTPS API. You set the URL and ClawNet forwards requests, handles auth, and returns the response. Great for reselling API access.
Data
Structured JSON data with smart caching. Prices, wallets, yields — one query, clean output. Cached calls cost 90% less (min 0.1 credits).
Composite
Chains multiple skills into a workflow. Output piping, parallel execution, conditionals, and retry/fallback. Max 5 dependencies, depth 3, 10 total skill calls.

Using Skills

Found a skill you want to use? One endpoint handles all types. Pass variables for prompt/composite skills, or query params for data skills.

POST/v1/skills/:id/invoke

Execute any skill by ID. Works for prompt_template, api_proxy, composite, and data skills. Credits are deducted based on the skill's price.

Marketplace

The Data Skill Marketplace is where developers register refined data endpoints that agents discover and pay for. Your complex agent just became a business — sign it in and earn 85% on every call.

What is a Data Skill?
Raw data is the ingredient. A data skill is the meal. Anyone can fetch a token price — that's a number. A data skill pulls from multiple independent sources, cross-references them against each other, flags contradictions, scores confidence, and returns a single verdict with evidence. It turns raw numbers into actionable intelligence.

Think of it like healthcare: a blood test gives you numbers (raw data). A doctor reads all your tests, cross-references your history, and tells you what to do (refined data). Data skills are the doctor for crypto data.
🔍
Auto-Discovery
Discovery is built into orchestration. When you ask a question, ClawNet searches its 12,000+ endpoints plus the marketplace. If a marketplace data skill scores higher, it gets used automatically. No extra code needed.
💰
Creator Economics
Register your API as a data skill. You set the price in credits. On every call, you earn 85% — the other 15% goes to the platform. Payouts in USDC to your Solana wallet.
🛡
Trust Signals
Every data skill exposes trust signals: success_rate, avg_rating, avg_latency_ms, verified status, and optional SLA guarantees. Agents use these to pick the best provider.
Cross-Verification
For verifiable data (prices, on-chain state), ClawNet spot-checks results against known-good sources. If a data skill returns data that doesn't match, its trust score drops automatically.

Register Your Own Data Skill

Any HTTPS API can become a ClawNet data skill. Create a skill with type api_proxy and set the backing URL:

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/skills \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Creating a Skill / Service

Anyone with an API key can create a skill. You set the price, and you earn 85% of every call. Here's how to create each type.

POST/v1/skills
Requires: X-API-Key

Response (201 Created)

{
  "id": "aB3kx9Lm2nPq",
  "name": "token-sentiment",
  "description": "Multi-platform sentiment analysis for any crypto token",
  "skillType": "prompt_template",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "public": true,
  "creditCost": 3,
  "variables": ["token"],
  "invokeUrl": "POST /v1/skills/aB3kx9Lm2nPq/invoke"
}
Data skills return updateFrequency and queryUrl instead of variables and invokeUrl.

1. Prompt Template Skill

Write a prompt with {{variable}} placeholders. When invoked, ClawNet substitutes the variables and runs the prompt through the orchestrator.

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/skills \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "token-sentiment",
    "displayName": "Token Sentiment Scanner",
    "description": "Multi-platform sentiment analysis for any crypto token",
    "promptTemplate": "Analyze the social sentiment for {{token}} across Twitter, Reddit, and Discord. Return a score from 0-100.",
    "creditCost": 3,
    "public": true,
    "category": "social",
    "tags": ["sentiment", "social", "twitter"]
  }'

2. API Proxy Skill

Wrap any external HTTPS API. Set proxyUrl to your API endpoint. ClawNet forwards invocation requests to your URL.

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/skills \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "whale-tracker",
    "displayName": "Whale Movement Tracker",
    "description": "Track large wallet movements on Solana",
    "skillType": "api_proxy",
    "proxyUrl": "https://api.mytracker.io/whales",
    "creditCost": 5,
    "public": true,
    "category": "defi",
    "tags": ["whales", "solana", "tracking"]
  }'
Auth forwarding: When your api_proxy skill is invoked, ClawNet sends a POST request to your proxyUrl with the caller's variables as the JSON body. ClawNet does not forward the caller's API key or auth headers — your backing API must either be publicly accessible or use a pre-shared secret configured in your proxy URL (e.g., https://api.yourservice.com/endpoint?key=YOUR_SECRET). Only HTTPS URLs are allowed for security. If your API returns a non-2xx status, ClawNet returns an error to the caller and your skill's success_rate drops.

3. Data Skill

Structured data with automatic caching. Set updateFrequency to control how often data refreshes. Cached calls cost 90% less.

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/skills \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "sp500-daily",
    "displayName": "S&P 500 Daily Close",
    "description": "Daily S&P 500 closing price and volume",
    "skillType": "data",
    "proxyUrl": "https://api.example.com/sp500",
    "updateFrequency": "daily",
    "creditCost": 3,
    "sampleOutput": {"date": "2026-03-12", "close": 5234.18, "volume": 3200000000},
    "public": true
  }'

weekly7 daysReports, historical trends

4. Composite Skill

Chain multiple skills together. Define a dependencies array that specifies the execution graph with output piping between steps.

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/skills \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key-here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "full-token-report",

    "skillType": "composite",
    "creditCost": 10,

How money flows when someone uses your skill.

Revenue Split

What HappensYou (Creator)Platform
Skill invoked (live)85% of credits15% to treasury
Skill invoked (cached)0%100% (cache revenue)
x402 payment85% USDC instant15% USDC
Example: A DeFi price oracle priced at 2 credits, called 50,000 times/month. With realtime data (low cache hits ~20%), you earn: 40,000 live calls × 2 credits × 85% = 68,000 credits = $51/month in USDC. Higher-priced skills with unique-per-call results earn significantly more. A 10-credit sentiment analyzer with 5,000 calls/month and 30% cache rate would earn $29.75/month.

Pricing You Control

Payouts

💰
Accumulate
Earnings accumulate as credits in your account. Track them at GET /v1/marketplace/creator/stats.
🔄
Auto-Payout
Set a threshold + Solana wallet. When earnings hit the threshold, USDC is sent automatically every 4 hours.

Manual Withdrawal
POST /v1/marketplace/creator/withdraw — minimum 1,000 credits. Processed in the next payout cycle.
💵
Payout Rate
$0.00075 per credit (25% below the buy rate). This spread prevents arbitrage between buying and cashing out.

Trust & Safety

ClawNet enforces quality through SLA contracts, output schemas, cross-verification, community validators, and automatic penalty escalation.

SLA Contracts

Skill creators can guarantee uptime, latency, and success rate. Violations are detected every 15 minutes and trigger penalty credits to affected consumers.

// Set SLA when creating a skill
{
  "sla": {
    "guaranteed_uptime": 99,
    "max_latency_ms": 5000,
    "min_success_rate": 95,
    "penalty_pct": 10
  }
}
GET/v1/economy/sla-violations/:skillId

Query SLA violation history — timestamps, violation type, penalty credits issued.

Requires: X-API-Key

Output Contracts

Define a JSON Schema that skill outputs must conform to. Every invocation response tells you whether the output matched the contract.

// Set output contract when creating a skill
{
  "outputContract": {
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["price", "symbol"],
    "properties": {
      "price": { "type": "number" },
      "symbol": { "type": "string" }
    }
  }
}

// Response includes validation result
{
  "result": { "price": 67452.10, "symbol": "BTC" },
  "outputContractValid": true,
  "credits": 1.5
}

Cross-Verification

For verifiable data (token prices, on-chain balances), ClawNet automatically spot-checks results against known-good sources. Services that return inaccurate data see their trust scores decline. This is transparent — no configuration required.

Validators

Community members can earn 0.5 credits per useful verification. Validators are promoted by admin and can submit verdicts on transactions (VALID, INVALID, INCONCLUSIVE). Daily limit of 100 verdicts. No self-validation allowed.

POST/v1/validators/verify

Submit a verdict on a transaction.

Requires: X-API-Key
DELETE/v1/economy/webhooks/:id

Remove a webhook registration.

Requires: X-API-Key
PUT/v1/economy/webhook-secret

Set your HMAC signing secret. Once configured, all deliveries include X-ClawNet-Signature and X-ClawNet-Timestamp headers.

Requires: X-API-Key

Verifying Webhook Signatures

ClawNet sends a single X-ClawNet-Signature header in the format t={timestamp},v1={hmac}. Validate it on every delivery:

import crypto from 'crypto';

function verifyWebhook(rawBody, sigHeader, secret) {
  // Parse the combined header: t=1234567890,v1=abcdef...
  const parts = Object.fromEntries(
    sigHeader.split(',').map(p => p.split('=').map((v, i) => i === 0 ? v : p.slice(p.indexOf('=') + 1)))
  );
  const timestamp = parts.t;
  const signature = parts.v1;
  if (!timestamp || !signature) return false;

  // Reject stale webhooks (replay protection)
  const age = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - parseInt(timestamp);
  if (age > 300) return false; // older than 5 minutes

  // Verify HMAC-SHA256
  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(`${timestamp}.${rawBody}`)
    .digest('hex');
  if (signature.length !== expected.length) return false;
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
}

// In your webhook handler (use raw body, not parsed JSON):
app.post('/webhooks/clawnet', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }), (req, res) => {
  const sig = req.headers['x-clawnet-signature'];
  if (!sig || !verifyWebhook(req.body.toString(), sig, process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET)) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
  }
  const event = JSON.parse(req.body);
  console.log('Event:', event.event, event.data);
  res.sendStatus(200);
});

Delivery & Retries

Webhooks are delivered via HTTP POST with a 10-second timeout. Failed deliveries (5xx responses) are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s). A webhook is automatically disabled after 10 consecutive failures. Successful delivery resets the failure counter.

Advanced

Power features for complex agent workflows: escrow, swarm decomposition, composite skills, dynamic pricing, and peer-to-peer mesh.

Composite Skills

Chain multiple skills with output piping ({{steps.outputKey.field}}), parallel groups, conditionals (9 operators), and retry/fallback. Max depth 3 (composites-of-composites), max 10 total skill calls. Circular dependencies are automatically detected.

// Output piping: pass one skill's output to another
{
  "dependencies": [
    {"skillId": "token-price", "paramMapping": {"token": "{{token}}"}, "outputKey": "price"},
    {"skillId": "risk-score", "paramMapping": {"price": "{{steps.price.usd}}"}, "outputKey": "risk"}
  ]
}

Conditional Operators

Each dependency step can include a condition object. If the condition evaluates to false, the step is skipped (0 credits charged). There are 9 supported operators:

OperatorExampleDescription
exists{"field": "price", "op": "exists"}Field is present (not null/undefined/empty)
not_exists{"field": "error", "op": "not_exists"}Field is absent (null/undefined/empty)
eq{"field": "status", "op": "eq", "value": "active"}Equal (string comparison)
neq{"field": "status", "op": "neq", "value": "paused"}Not equal
gt{"field": "price", "op": "gt", "value": 100}Greater than (numeric)
lt{"field": "risk", "op": "lt", "value": 0.5}Less than (numeric)
gte{"field": "score", "op": "gte", "value": 80}Greater than or equal
lte{"field": "latency", "op": "lte", "value": 2000}Less than or equal
contains{"field": "tags", "op": "contains", "value": "defi"}String/array contains value

The field can reference a caller variable (price), a previous step output ({{steps.price.usd}}), or a literal value.

Parallel Groups

Steps assigned to the same group number run in parallel. Steps with dependsOn wait for those output keys to resolve before executing. Groups execute in numeric order (group 0, then group 1, etc.).

{
  "dependencies": [
    {"skillId": "price-oracle", "paramMapping": {"token": "{{token}}"}, "outputKey": "price", "group": 0},
    {"skillId": "holder-stats", "paramMapping": {"token": "{{token}}"}, "outputKey": "holders", "group": 0},
    {"skillId": "analyze-risk", "paramMapping": {"price": "{{steps.price.usd}}", "holders": "{{steps.holders.count}}"}, "outputKey": "risk", "dependsOn": ["price", "holders"]}
  ]
}

In this example, price-oracle and holder-stats both belong to group 0 and execute simultaneously. The analyze-risk step has no group and waits for both outputs before running.

GET/v1/economy/estimate/:skillId

Pre-calculate the total credit cost of a composite skill.

Requires: X-API-Key
GET/v1/economy/dependency-graph

Visualize the composite skill's dependency DAG — execution order, depth, leaf count.

Requires: X-API-Key

Dynamic Pricing

Skill creators can configure surge, volume, and off-peak pricing. Prices adjust automatically based on demand.

{
  "pricingConfig": {
    "surge": { "enabled": true, "threshold": 100, "multiplier": 2.5, "maxMultiplier": 5.0 },
    "volume": {
      "enabled": true,
      "tiers": [
        { "minCalls": 100, "discountPct": 10 },
        { "minCalls": 500, "discountPct": 25 },
        { "minCalls": 1000, "discountPct": 50 }
      ]
    },
    "offPeak": { "enabled": true, "utcHours": [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], "discountPct": 20 }
  }
}

Surge: Up to 5x when demand exceeds threshold per hour. Volume: Monthly call tiers, up to 50% discount. Off-peak: UTC hour windows with reduced pricing.

Governance

Community governance for platform decisions. Any key holder can create proposals (100 credit bond). Proposals auto-close after 7 days (configurable 1-30 days). Votes are weighted by total credits spent (weighted by platform activity). Quorum-met proposals auto-execute for whitelisted actions.

POST/v1/manifest/outcome
Public (no auth required)

Report the real-world outcome of a manifest decision. Send manifest_id, outcome (positive, negative, or neutral), optional data object, and optional value number.

Self-improving: Manifest gets smarter over time. Every outcome report improves future verdicts for all agents.

Attestation

Signed, tamper-proof proof of every agent action. Verify before you act (Manifest). Prove after you did (Attestation).

The Trust Lifecycle: BEFORE — Manifest verifies your data → DURING — ClawNet executes → AFTER — Attestation proves what happened. Together they form a closed trust loop.

Trust without middlemen: Every attestation is cryptographically signed (HMAC-SHA256) and hash-chained. Anyone can verify at /v1/attest/verify/:id without an account. The chain is contiguous — gaps are detected and flagged.

Auto-Trust Verdicts

Every orchestration and skill response automatically includes a trust object with a verdict, confidence score, and source count. No extra call, no extra cost. ClawNet is the only platform where every response tells you if it's trustworthy.

// Every response includes this automatically:
{
  "answer": "SOL is $145.20, up 3.1% in 24h...",
  "trust": {
    "verdict": "PROCEED",
    "confidence": 0.92,
    "sources": 3,
    "attestationId": "att-abc123def456"
  },
  "attestation": {
    "id": "att-abc123def456",
    "verifyUrl": "https://api.claw-net.org/v1/attest/verify/att-abc123def456"
  }
}

To link a manifest check to an action, pass the X-Manifest-Id header with any execution request:

curl -X POST https://api.claw-net.org/v1/orchestrate \
  -H "X-API-Key: cn-your-key" \
  -H "X-Manifest-Id: mfst_abc123" \
  -d '{"query": "Price of SOL"}'

Public Trust Profiles

GET/v1/attest/trust/:apiKeyHash

}

Comparative Trust

GET/v1/attest/compare?agents=hash1,hash2,hash3

Compare up to 10 agents' trust profiles side by side. Returns sorted profiles with trust scores and the spread between best and worst. Use this to evaluate counterparties before transacting.

Public — no auth required, free

Trust Badges

GET/v1/attest/badges/:skillId

Get trust badges for a skill based on its attestation history. Badges include: verified_reliable, trusted, established, chain_verified, high_volume, and fast_responder.

Public — no auth required, free

Attestation-as-a-Service

POST/v1/attest/external

External platforms (Dexter, PayAI, Cascade, etc.) can create signed, hash-chained attestations through ClawNet. This makes ClawNet the trust layer for the entire x402 ecosystem. 0.1 credits per attestation, rate limited 100/hr.

Requires: X-API-Key0.1 credits

Body Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
platformstringYesPlatform name (e.g. dexter, payai)
actionTypestringYesAction being attested
inputHashstringYesSHA-256 hash of the input data
responseHashstringNoSHA-256 hash of the response data
outcomeStatusstringNosuccess | failure | partial | unknown

Batch Verification & Chain Integrity

POST/v1/attest/verify-batch

Verify up to 50 attestations in a single call. Send {"ids": ["att-...", "att-..."]}.

Public — no auth required, free
GET/v1/attest/chain/:apiKeyHash

Verify the full hash-chain integrity for an agent. Each attestation stores SHA-256(prev.id + prev.input_hash + prev.signature). Any modification breaks the chain.

Public — no auth required, free

Cross-Agent Manifest Sharing

If Agent A verifies a subject with a PROCEED verdict, Agent B gets the same result for free within 5 minutes (quick tier). This creates a shared trust layer where the entire ecosystem benefits from each verification. Responses include "cross_agent": true when using shared results.

Attestation Webhooks: Subscribe to ATTESTATION_CREATED and TRUST_SCORE_CHANGED events via the webhooks system. React to trust changes in real-time.
