GateCore Marketplace tools 8
discover_listingsDiscover governed GateCore marketplace capabilities with machine-readable pricing, required scopes, and minimum trust terms. Results preserve the marketplace's organic order.get_listingFetch one governed marketplace listing and its machine-enforceable contract terms: price, required scopes, minimum trust, target, and data classification.procureRequest governed procurement for a listing. In public full mode, identity comes from the MCP access key, trust comes from GateCore's baseline, and the result is a PROCURE, REVIEW, or DENY decision with gateway delegation when eligible.authorize_accessAuthorize signed access to a governed listing. Purpose is forwarded unchanged when present; policy at the gateway decides whether the declared purpose is allowed.complete_accessHash seller output locally, attest completion with the buyer agent key, and return the terminal signed receipt. Seller output itself is never forwarded or returned.list_procurementsList procurement decisions for the credential tenant in public modes.request_listing_accessSubmit an idempotent listing-access request for the credential's tenant and agent.submit_leadSubmit a consented consumer lead to a supported published listing.
