Tools & capabilities
Accord Trace tools 9
accord_trace_create_proofCreate an AccordTrace hash-bound service record. If issuer signing is configured, the proof also carries an Ed25519 issuer signature. Submitted content is not stored.accord_trace_verifyVerify an AccordTrace recorded proof, optionally compare supplied data/hash, and verify an issuer signature when one is present.accord_trace_get_proofRetrieve public non-secret AccordTrace proof metadata by proof ID.accord_trace_hashCompute AccordTrace canonical SHA-256 for JSON-compatible data without creating a proof.accord_trace_network_capabilitiesRead the live one-level AccordTrace Agent Affiliate Network policy, economics, anti-downline rules and payout activation status. Read-only; it does not enroll or attribute an agent.accord_trace_network_statsRead aggregate live affiliate-network states, distinguishing generated invitations, attributions, qualified direct sales, earned commissions and paid commissions.accord_trace_passport_product_capabilitiesRead the live Agent Passport Certificate product price and commercial readiness gates. Read-only; it never initiates checkout.accord_trace_wallet_capabilitiesRead machine-facing Agent Wallet feature gates, Ed25519 signing contract, funded-balance policy, USDC representation and explicit no-credit/no-lending boundary. Read-only; it never creates a wallet or moves funds.accord_trace_resolve_referralResolve a direct AccordTrace referral code to its active public referral record and disclosure without reserving attribution or creating a sale.

list_profilesShow available tool profiles. Set APS_PROFILE env var to limit exposed tools (e.g. APS_PROFILE=data).list_tools_for_scopeList available MCP tools filtered by delegation scope. Pass your delegation scopes to see which tools you can use. Scopes: identity, delegation, principal, reputation, coordination, communication, governance, commerce, data, gateway, network, temporal, attribution, settlement, capability, mutual-auth. Use ['*'] for all tools.identifyIdentify yourself to the coordination server. Sets your role and scopes tools accordingly.generate_keysGenerate an Ed25519 keypair for agent identity.issue_passportIssue a complete agent passport with keys, signed passport, attestation summary, and optional values floor in a single call. The server silently captures Tier 0 observed signals and computes a passport grade (0-3). Use this to onboard any agent without an npm install.verify_issuerVerify that a passport was officially issued by AEOESS. Checks the issuer countersignature against the published AEOESS public key. Returns false for self-signed passports.get_passport_gradeQuery the attestation grade and issuance context for a passport. Returns the passport grade (0-3), flags, and evidence summary. Grade 0 = self-signed, 1 = issuer countersigned, 2 = runtime-bound, 3 = principal-bound. This is the partner-facing trust query.list_issuance_recordsList all stored issuance records with their passport grades. Shows how many passports have been issued in this session and their trust posture. Useful for monitoring issuance patterns.get_behavioral_sequenceGet the post-issuance behavioral sequence for an agent. Shows the first 10 tool calls after passport issuance. Real agents do work. Farming agents extract.get_my_roleGet your current role, assigned tasks, and role-specific instructions.create_task_brief[OPERATOR] Create a new task with roles, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.assign_agent[OPERATOR] Assign an agent to a role in a task. Creates a delegation automatically.- +142 more on the listing page
