get_quoteFree quote before paying: the exchange rate and exactly how much lands in the bank (or wallet) NET of every provider fee — that net figure is the number to decide on. Executable estimate, not a locked rate. side=SELL (USDC->fiat) or BUY (fiat->USDC).get_order_statusCheck the status of an on/off-ramp order by partnerOrderId.token_priceFREE real-time price snapshot for any EVM token by contract address: USD price, 5m/1h/6h/24h change, liquidity, 24h volume, market cap/FDV and the most-liquid DEX pair (DexScreener). Or pass a major symbol (ETH/BTC) for a Coinbase spot price. Read-only, free.search_servicesFind paid + free MCP services other agents have published on the FiatDock marketplace. Returns matching listings (id, name, summary, price, category, seller, verified, gatewayUrl), best match first when q is given (otherwise newest, or the sort you pass), capped at 20 per call — pass limit for more, or q/category to narrow. Use get_service for full detail and call_service to invoke one. Read-only, free.get_serviceFull detail for one FiatDock marketplace listing, including how to call it: PAID listings route through the gateway via call_service (the 402 lists what to pay); FREE/first-party listings expose their real MCP endpoint to call directly. Read-only, free.search_x402Find any pay-per-call x402 endpoint on the internet — the public x402 index (~15,000 priced endpoints from hundreds of hosts), not only FiatDock's own marketplace. Ranked by relevance, then by paid calls in the last 30 days (the demand signal), then by distinct payers. Each row carries the URL, the price the index recorded, the network, where the money goes, and the 30-day call/payer counts; call_x402 then reads the endpoint's own 402 and pays it directly from your wallet — FiatDock takes no fee and never touches the money. Read-only, free. Use search_services for FiatDock marketplace listings, which carry health, schemas and a call hint that the public index does not.create_offramp_sessionConvert the agent's USDC to fiat in the owner's OWN bank account. Returns a checkoutUrl to forward to the human owner (valid ~2 hours) and a partnerOrderId to track — pass the owner's `email` and the server ALSO emails the checkout link to them automatically (the response echoes emailedTo). Paid endpoint ($0.01 USDC via x402) — this package pays it automatically from AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY, so the call succeeds without you seeing a 402. COMPLIANCE: own-account rule — the sending wallet and the receiving bank account must belong to the SAME person (the agent's owner); no third-party funds, no aggregation, no P2P transfers. 18+; service area: Portugal + supported EU/EEA countries (NOT the UK). Crypto is volatile; not investment advice.create_onramp_sessionBuy USDC with the owner's OWN fiat and deliver it to the agent's wallet (address locked). Returns checkoutUrl (valid ~2 hours) + partnerOrderId. Paid endpoint ($0.01 USDC via x402) — this package pays it automatically from AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY, so the call succeeds without you seeing a 402. COMPLIANCE: own-account rule — the sending wallet and the receiving bank account must belong to the SAME person (the agent's owner); no third-party funds, no aggregation, no P2P transfers. 18+; service area: Portugal + supported EU/EEA countries (NOT the UK). Crypto is volatile; not investment advice.token_safetyPAID ($0.0045 USDC via x402, paid automatically). On-chain safety verdict for any EVM token BEFORE you trade it: honeypot detection, buy/sell tax, contract-verified, owner privileges (mint / blacklist / pausable / hidden owner / balance-modify), holder concentration, LP-locked %, CEX listing and live DEX liquidity (GoPlus Security + DexScreener). Returns verdict safe|caution|danger with the exact risks. Not financial advice.stablecoin_intelPAID ($0.002 USDC via x402, paid automatically). Supply, peg health and per-chain breakdown for USDC and other stablecoins: total circulating supply, deviation from the $1.00 peg, peg mechanism, the amount circulating on Base (with its share of total) and the top chains by supply (DefiLlama). A treasury/payments agent uses it to check its settlement asset is healthy.gas_pricePAID ($0.001 USDC via x402, paid automatically). The current Base gas price in wei and gwei — a gas-aware agent samples it before submitting a tx. On any RPC failure the call returns 4xx/5xx and is NOT charged.block_numberPAID ($0.001 USDC via x402, paid automatically). The latest Base block number plus its timestamp — a freshness/liveness probe for the chain head. On any RPC failure the call returns 4xx/5xx and is NOT charged.- +36 more on the listing page
GBLIN MCP tools 20
get_treasury_stateRead the current GBLIN protocol state on Base mainnet: NAV in USD, basket composition with dynamic weights, and Crash Shield status. Use this BEFORE any swap to know the current price and risk regime.quote_safe_swapPreview a buy (ETH→GBLIN) or sell (GBLIN→ETH) without executing. Returns expected output, safe minOut with dynamic slippage buffer (2.5% normal / 4% during Crash Shield), and fee breakdown. Read-only.swap_gblin_to_usdc_jitWhen an x402 invoice (or any USDC obligation) arrives and your treasury sits in GBLIN, call this to get ready-to-broadcast calldata that redeems exactly the USDC you need, just in time. Three sequential transactions: (1) approve the shares to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.sellGBLINForEth, which redeems in kind and sells every leg for ETH, all or nothing, (3) a Uniswap WETH->USDC swap that spends only the guaranteed ETH minimum and still returns at least the requested USDC. EOAs sign three times; ERC-4337 / EIP-7702 wallets can batch them into one operation. Every step carries a non-zero minimum; ETH above the minimum stays in the wallet. Free to call. A redemption carries no protocol fee; the costs are the Zap's swaps and gas.invest_usdc_to_gblinWhen your agent's idle USDC exceeds operating needs (rule of thumb: more than 7x daily burn), call this to park the SURPLUS into GBLIN — managed crypto exposure minted at NAV, redeemable any time via swap_gblin_to_usdc_jit. Returns two steps of calldata: (1) approve USDC to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.buyGBLINWithToken, which swaps the USDC to WETH on Uniswap V3 and mints at NAV with a non-zero minimum output. Free to call. The mint fee and the yearly management fee are governance parameters: read them live from get_treasury_state rather than from this text.analyze_treasury_healthAnalyze an agent wallet's treasury health: GBLIN/USDC/ETH balances, whether the ETH covers an exit at the live gas price, the redemption cooldown, and (if daily_burn_usd is provided) days of USDC runway plus a recommendation that keeps seven days of spend in USDC and treats only the surplus as a candidate for GBLIN. Free by default; metered at $0.003 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.get_governance_stateVerify GBLIN protocol governance state: confirms whether the GBLIN vault is owned by the 48h Timelock, reads the timelock's min delay and grace period, reports role member counts, and surfaces any pending asset-addition proposal on the index contract. If an operation_id is provided, also reports the status of that specific timelock operation. Read-only — use this to gate trust-sensitive agent actions.share_skill_with_peerGenerate a portable skill seed that another AI agent can use to install GBLIN MCP and start managing treasury. The seed includes a working transaction example, install instructions, and a referral code derived from the caller's wallet. The code is a label inside the seed only: it is not written into any transaction and no fee is paid for it. Use this when you encounter another agent that lacks GBLIN treasury capabilities, or when a delegated task requires treasury management.get_auction_stateRead the GBLIN rebalancing auction on Base. The vault does not rebalance itself and pays nobody to do it: when a basket row drifts past its band it holds a Dutch auction, and whoever trades with it toward the target weights is the counterparty, at the oracle price adjusted by a premium that starts at a discount and rises to a cap over one ramp. Returns, per row, the side the vault takes, the gap in ETH, the token and amount the bidder hands over, and unsigned calldata (approval + bid). The premium is the whole reward; nothing is paid out of the vault.get_market_risk_regimeWhen deciding whether to deploy capital, take on risk, or STAND DOWN in a volatile market, call this first (the 'Risk Gate' pattern: gblin.digital/risk-gate, which a third-party ERC-8004 agent, id 59895 on Base, pinned in its published decision rule). Returns the current BTC/ETH risk regime (calm | elevated | crash), a severity score, and a risk posture (risk_on | reduce | risk_off), derived from GBLIN's verifiable on-chain Crash Shield vs Chainlink-oracle peaks on Base. Useful to ANY trading or treasury agent — independent of holding GBLIN. Poll each decision cycle. Free by default; metered at $0.002 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.verify_risk_attestationVerify a GBLIN Risk Attestation — the object returned by GBLIN's /api/x402/attestation, or a proof-of-diligence a peer agent attached to its action. FREE, no payment. Runs four checks: (1) INTEGRITY — recomputes the EIP-712 attestation_id and detects tampering; (2) AUTHENTICITY — if a signature is present, recovers the signer and checks it is GBLIN's published attestor; (3) FRESHNESS — whether it expired (10-minute TTL), using on-chain time; (4) LIVE DRIFT — compares the attested regime to the CURRENT on-chain regime and flags if it changed. Use before you trust any counterparty/peer that claims it 'checked market risk via GBLIN'.seal_action_demoSeal the HASHES of an AI action into GBLIN's public append-only RFC 6962 transparency log (FREE demo, 5/day/IP, receipt marked demo:true). Returns a portable receipt: Ed25519 signature + Merkle inclusion proof + operator-signed C2SP checkpoint, offline-verifiable forever with the zero-dependency verify-receipt.mjs. Input/output go in as sha256 HASHES only; the action label and metadata you send are published in the public log. Unlimited seals cost $0.0045 via x402 — see how_to_seal_paid.get_receiptFetch a sealed AI Action Receipt by index from GBLIN's public transparency log (free forever). Returns the full portable receipt — canonical payload, Ed25519 signature, RFC 6962 Merkle inclusion proof against the current tree, operator-signed C2SP checkpoint — which any third party can verify offline with verify-receipt.mjs (zero dependencies).- +8 more on the listing page
