Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
List the available clearing profiles as lightweight summaries (`profile_id`, `market_practice`, `tier`, `entitled`, `supported_messages`, `rule_count`). Use it to discover the `profile_id` values the other tools accept and see which ones the current caller is entitled to.
get_profile
Return one clearing profile in full, including its rule bodies. On a **premium** profile the caller must be entitled, otherwise it returns a `BP_NOT_ENTITLED` error (see [Open-core vs premium](#open-core-vs-premium)).
lint_payload
Evaluate a raw ISO 20022 payload against a clearing profile and return the findings (a compliant payload yields none). Like `get_profile`, a **premium** profile requires an entitlement or it returns `BP_NOT_ENTITLED`.
validate_profile_definition
Validate a bank-supplied profile / rule-pack definition supplied as raw JSON, confirming its shape and that every rule uses a known assertion verb.
