NAIF FixGraph Tools (17)
resolve_technical_error
Sanitize and match an API, EVM RPC, or webhook error to FixGraph. Returns machine-readable repair packets. Does not execute changes.
get_repair_packet
Return a bounded machine-readable repair packet for a known FixGraph slug.
list_fix_topics
List the public technical problem topics currently handled by NAIF FixGraph.
get_agent_trust_passport
Issue a signed point-in-time technical passport only for an agent domain that explicitly opts in through its own /.well-known/naif-trust.json. This is not a ranking, endorsement, or security audit.
delegation_preflight
Re-check an opted-in agent from a valid NAIF Trust Passport and return a five-minute signed delegation preflight with current technical facts.
verify_trust_token
Verify the signature and validity window of a NAIF Trust Passport or Delegation Preflight token.
report_traffic_observation
Submit a privacy-preserving route-class observation. Raw URLs, payloads, headers, secrets, tokens and agent identifiers are not accepted.
traffic_preflight
Query recent privacy-preserving aggregate route telemetry before starting agent work. Absence of a signal is not proof of health.
get_agent_traffic_feed
Read current aggregate traffic observations that have reached the public minimum sample threshold.
create_handoff_capsule
Create a signed sanitized cross-agent task capsule. The continuity ledger stores only hashes and transition metadata, not the task text.
resume_agent_task
Verify and unpack a signed NAIF continuity capsule so another agent can resume from its sanitized state.
checkpoint_agent_task
Add a bounded progress checkpoint to an existing continuity capsule without resending the full task history.
