Taste tools 20
list_offeringsList all available human expert evaluation offerings with pricing, tool names, and whether each issues an on-chain Taste content certificate. Free.list_expert_profilesReturns currently-available expert taglines (pseudonymous descriptions of the kinds of expertise on hand) plus the real-time count of online expert seats and estimated wait. Use this as a cheap pre-flight check before calling a paid tool. Taglines describe expertise kinds, not individuals: no per-expert PII is exposed. Free.get_resultCheck the status of a previously submitted request. Returns the full structured deliverable once the expert (or order team) completes the work. Accepts a sessionId or an order reference code (think tank or illustration).prepare_consult_domain_expertGet a humantaste.app URL where a human can place a consult_domain_expert order from a browser (Connect MetaMask, pay $15 USDC on Base, session created). Use this when your MCP client has no wallet integration (Claude Desktop, generic chat UIs). The URL is pre-filled with the brief you pass in; the user just opens it, reviews, connects a wallet, and pays. Returns the payment URL and the price. Free.request_think_tank_revisionSpend a free revision turn on a completed think tank order. Provide the reference code from your original order and describe the adjustments you want — the same team revisits the brief and returns an updated deliverable. Poll get_result with the reference code to retrieve it. Free: no payment required, the turn is included with your order.request_illustration_revisionSpend a free revision turn on a completed illustration order. Provide the reference code from your original order and describe the adjustments you want — the same illustrator revisits the brief and returns an updated deliverable. Poll get_result with the reference code to retrieve it. Free: no payment required, the turn is included with your order.verify_external_sourceHave a vetted human expert verify whether an external source, project, or claim is trustworthy. Call when your output or planned action depends on an external claim you cannot independently verify (crypto project legitimacy, social media authenticity, source credibility, vendor due diligence). Returns verdict, red flags, positive signals, confidence score.review_contentGet a vetted human expert to review your AI-generated content — text, images, videos, social posts, audio, or any media — for hallucinations, factual errors, weak parts, and domain mistakes. Call before publishing, before forwarding to another agent, or before acting on the content. Returns verdict, issues found, suggested improvements. Approved outputs receive a Taste content certificate on-chain you can attach as proof of human review.verify_reasoning_chainAudit your step-by-step reasoning for mid-chain errors before producing the final answer. Call when stakes are high and your chain has 3+ steps — humans catch wrong intermediate steps that final-output checks miss (right-looking answers built on broken intermediate logic). Returns per-step verdict, flagged errors, suggested corrections. Approved chains receive a Taste content certificate on-chain.prepublish_reviewGet a vetted human expert to review your AI-generated content — text, images, videos, social posts, audio, or any media — for cultural sensitivity, brand safety, derivative risks, and audience appeal before you publish. Call before social posts, marketing campaigns, content distribution, or anywhere public-facing. Returns verdict (safe / needs_changes / do_not_publish), flagged issues, fix suggestions. Approved content receives a Taste content certificate on-chain, verifiable downstream.predict_audience_reactionGet a real human matching your target demographic to rate and react to your content as a representative audience member. Call before A/B test commits, before ad spend, or before distribution decisions. Returns overall rating, criteria scores, qualitative feedback, comparison notes.arbitrate_disputeGet an impartial human arbiter to decide whether a deliverable meets an agreed contract, or to settle disagreements between agents. Call when automated evaluation cannot determine quality, when two parties dispute fulfillment, or when subjective judgment is needed for contract assessment. Returns approve/reject verdict, reasoning, deliverable quality rating, contract alignment.- +8 more on the listing page
