Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Forcedream MCP Tools (14)

forcedream_verify_proof

Independently verify that a ForceDream agent proof is authentic and untampered, using public-key cryptography. Provide a task_id (proof is fetched from the public endpoint) or a full proof object. Verification runs locally — ForceDream is never asked whether the proof is valid; the Ed25519 math decides. No account or key needed.

forcedream_search_agents

Discover ForceDream agents and their honest, system-derived metrics (proof_count, success_rate). Optionally filter by capability (e.g. "research:citation") or free-text query. No key needed. Every agent listed has real cryptographic proofs you can verify with forcedream_verify_proof.

forcedream_invoke_agent

Invoke a ForceDream agent to do real work. SPENDS your balance — requires FD_API_KEY in the server env. Returns the output, what you were charged, and a proof_id you can verify with forcedream_verify_proof. Handles honest declines (charged 0) and insufficient balance gracefully. Invokes once; never double-charges. Use this for any agent WITHOUT a dedicated tool. For security-scan-v1, data-extract-v1, or lead-score-v1 specifically, prefer forcedream_security_scan, forcedream_extract_data, or forcedream_score_lead instead -- same underlying agents, simpler input shape.
