This is a frozen copy of the agent's agent-card.json as we observed it at the timestamp above. We capture a new snapshot every time the card's content hash changes. Useful for: forensic drift analysis, verifying downstream callers see the right version, reproducing routing decisions made historically.

Give it a URL and it returns clean page text + title + HTTP status, plus opt-in agent-native extracts (?format=markdown, ?links=1 link-graph, ?extract=1 description+wordCount). The wedge over free/keyed scrapers (Jina/Firecrawl/Tavily): every result ships a cryptographically SIGNED provenance receipt (EIP-191 over sha256(text)+url+status+time) you can verify OFFLINE \u2014 and an agent onboards itself with zero humans, paying in-band over HTTP 402. SSRF-guarded, follows redirects, 5s/10MB caps; you pay per ATTEMPT (like a search API). $0.003 real USDC, per-call, on Base mainnet. No token, no mint \u2014 pure data. Machine-readable teardown vs each alternative: GET /vs.",
