Search the live SCRIPTMASTERLABS SqueezeOS capability inventory. This tool does not purchase, sign, settle, or execute paid capabilities.
recommend_capability
Return the best matching live SqueezeOS capabilities for a natural-language need, including current endpoint and payment metadata without authorizing spend.
inspect_capability
Inspect one live SqueezeOS capability by sml_id and return current metadata and optional liveness evidence.
compare_capabilities
Compare two to five live capabilities using current metadata without fabricating a composite score.
verify_provider_trust
Run the free read-only SML Universal Trust Passport against a public HTTPS provider URL. It observes live A2A, MCP, ERC-8004, runtime, and payment-metadata evidence; it never forwards credentials, signs, spends, settles, or executes the provider capability.
capability_manifest
Return the current SqueezeOS machine capability manifest derived from the running service.
x402_contract
Read the public SqueezeOS x402 discovery contract. This tool only reports payment terms and never signs, submits, or settles a payment.
x402_readiness
Read the live SqueezeOS x402 readiness surface. No payment is initiated.
x402_evidence
Read public settlement evidence recorded by the canonical SqueezeOS rail. A challenge or signature is not treated as settlement proof.
system_status
Read the live SqueezeOS status endpoint without synthesizing health claims.
