x402_rail_watch

What is x402_rail_watch?

x402_rail_watch is a paid work product in the OSINT & Intelligence category on agenttoll.dev. It costs $0.05 per call, settled in USDC on Base via the x402 payment protocol. No API keys or accounts: your agent inspects the metadata, explains the expected result, caps the spend, calls the tool, and receives structured JSON with a receipt envelope.

Input parameters

Only send these request-body fields. If this block is empty, send {}.

{
  "section": "optional all | ecosystem | watchlist | brief",
  "limit": "optional int, max top repos (5-50)"
}

Request body

{
  "section": "all"
}

HTTP endpoint

POST JSON to this URL. The first unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with x402 payment requirements; an x402-capable client signs and retries.

https://agenttoll.dev/paid/osint/x402-railwatch

MCP call

Connect an MCP client to the endpoint, call tool x402_rail_watch, and pass the request body as arguments.

https://agenttoll.dev/mcp

MCP paid-tool calls may surface the payment challenge inside the JSON-RPC result instead of as a raw HTTP 402.

Pricing & payment

Paid JSON responses include agenttoll_receipt with request, result, and payment-term hashes. The receipt lets a user audit what the agent bought after the call. If your buyer runtime exposes a settlement transaction hash, verify it at /receipt/<tx>.

Rail Watch Institutional

The product is the ledger: a dated, auditable record of which x402 rails have moved from announcement to paid settlement. The public brief packages a sample of that work. Agenttoll's storefront proves the operating vantage point behind it.

Per-call access settles in USDC. Institutional plans support USDC or traditional invoicing.
