Agentradar MCP Tools (18)
verify_agent
Run a full 6-signal trust verification on an AI agent or wallet address. Returns composite trust score (0-100), individual signal scores, risk flags, and recommendations. Use this before transacting with or delegating to an unknown agent.
compare_agents
Compare two AI agents side-by-side on trust scores and security signals. Useful for choosing between competing agents that offer similar capabilities.
batch_verify
Verify multiple AI agent addresses in a single call (max 10). Returns trust scores for each address. Efficient for evaluating a list of candidate agents.
get_score
Get a cached trust score for an AI agent address. Faster than full verification — returns the last computed score without re-running signals. Free endpoint, no payment required.
get_badge_url
Generate a trust badge URL for an AI agent. Returns an embeddable SVG badge showing the agent's trust score. Useful for displaying trust status in UIs or documentation.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Agentradar MCP is categorized under Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Agentward belongs to Security using local stdio subprocess. Select Agentradar MCP when you need capabilities focused on security and Agentward when you require tools for security.
Score an AI agent and write an on-chain EAS attestation recording the trust score permanently. Costs $5 via x402 or requires an operator key. Use when you need a verifiable, immutable trust record for an agent.
get_attestations
List all on-chain trust attestations written by AgentRadar. Returns paginated attestation records including addresses, scores, and transaction hashes. Requires operator key.
get_attestation_by_tx
Look up a specific attestation by its transaction hash. Returns the full attestation record including the scored address, trust score, and on-chain details.
lookup_identity
Look up an AI agent's on-chain identity (ERC-8004 registration, ENS name, contract metadata). Returns who the agent claims to be and whether those claims are verified.
lookup_reputation
Look up an AI agent's on-chain reputation — ERC-8004 feedback history, attestation count, and community signals. Shows how established and trusted the agent is in the ecosystem.
resolve_agent_uri
Resolve an agent address to its registered URI, metadata, and service endpoints. Useful for discovering how to interact with a verified agent.
check_scam
Check if a wallet address is in the AgentRadar scam database. Returns matching scam records with severity, chain, source, and notes. Use this as a quick safety check before any transaction.

read_file
Read the complete contents of a file as text. DEPRECATED: Use read_text_file instead.
read_text_file
Read the complete contents of a file from the file system as text. Handles various text encodings and provides detailed error messages if the file cannot be read. Use this tool when you need to examine the contents of a single file. Use the 'head' parameter to read only the first N lines of a file, or the 'tail' parameter to read only the last N lines of a file. Operates on the file as text regardless of extension. Only works within allowed directories.
read_media_file
Read a file and return it as a base64-encoded content block with its MIME type. Image and audio files are returned as image/audio content; any other file type is returned as an embedded resource. Only works within allowed directories.
read_multiple_files
Read the contents of multiple files simultaneously. This is more efficient than reading files one by one when you need to analyze or compare multiple files. Each file's content is returned with its path as a reference. Failed reads for individual files won't stop the entire operation. Only works within allowed directories.
write_file
Create a new file or completely overwrite an existing file with new content. Use with caution as it will overwrite existing files without warning. Handles text content with proper encoding. Only works within allowed directories.
edit_file
Make line-based edits to a text file. Each edit replaces exact line sequences with new content. Returns a git-style diff showing the changes made. Only works within allowed directories.
create_directory
Create a new directory or ensure a directory exists. Can create multiple nested directories in one operation. If the directory already exists, this operation will succeed silently. Perfect for setting up directory structures for projects or ensuring required paths exist. Only works within allowed directories.
list_directory
Get a detailed listing of all files and directories in a specified path. Results clearly distinguish between files and directories with [FILE] and [DIR] prefixes. This tool is essential for understanding directory structure and finding specific files within a directory. Only works within allowed directories.
list_directory_with_sizes
Get a detailed listing of all files and directories in a specified path, including sizes. Results clearly distinguish between files and directories with [FILE] and [DIR] prefixes. This tool is useful for understanding directory structure and finding specific files within a directory. Only works within allowed directories.
directory_tree
Get a recursive tree view of files and directories as a JSON structure. Each entry includes 'name', 'type' (file/directory), and 'children' for directories. Files have no children array, while directories always have a children array (which may be empty). The output is formatted with 2-space indentation for readability. Only works within allowed directories.
move_file
Move or rename files and directories. Can move files between directories and rename them in a single operation. If the destination exists, the operation will fail. Works across different directories and can be used for simple renaming within the same directory. Both source and destination must be within allowed directories.
search_files
Recursively search for files and directories matching a pattern. The patterns should be glob-style patterns that match paths relative to the working directory. Use pattern like '*.ext' to match files in current directory, and '**/*.ext' to match files in all subdirectories. Returns full paths to all matching items. Great for finding files when you don't know their exact location. Only searches within allowed directories.
