Check this operator's adoption-request status at a chosen Authority.Free. Polls the Authority MCP-to-MCP for the status of this operator'srequest (pending / approved / rejected / provisioned).

Approve a pending request and provision the operator.The deferred-courtship counterpart to register_operator: same``authority_proof`` consent, same provisioning effect(``_provision_operator``) — just supplied later, after review.

Certify a purchase order: return a Schnorr-signed Nostr event certificate.The paid_tool decorator handles the ad valorem fee debit and storesthe cost in runtime._last_debit_cost. No recomputation needed.Called by operator MCP servers (not end users) when a patron purchases credits.

Step 3/3 of Authority onboarding — check parent approval, activate Authority.

Check this operator's tax balance at the Authority.Returns the sats available for certifying patron credit purchases.When this balance reaches zero, patron top-ups cannot be certifiedand the operator must call purchase_credits on the Authority.This is the operator's own funding — not a patron balance. Free.

Check a patron's credit balance at this operator.This is the patron's spending balance — credits purchased viaLightning for tool calls at this operator. For the operator'sown balance at the Authority (needed to certify patron purchases),use authority_check_balance instead.Free — no credits required. Proof of npub ownership is requiredto prevent anyone-with-the-registry from enumerating balances.Args: npub: The Nostr public key (npub1...) whose balance to check. dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr eve…

Look up an npub in the DPYC community registry.

Check the payment status of a Lightning invoice.Call after paying the invoice from purchase_credits.Free — no credits required. Proof of npub ownership is requiredto prevent credit-grant front-running by an observer of theinvoice ID.Args: invoice_id: The invoice ID returned by purchase_credits. npub: The Nostr public key (npub1...) that purchased the invoice. dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool.

Preview the effective cost of a tool call.Shows the base cost and any constraint effects (discounts, freetrials, surge pricing). Free — no credits required.Args: tool_id: Either the tool's UUID (from the pricing model) or a bare capability string (e.g. ``"deal_scenario"``). FE callers usually have the capability name; this resolves both so the FE doesn't need to derive UUIDs locally. tool_kwargs: Optional JSON object with tool call parameters for ad valorem / categorical-multiplier pricing previ…

Check whether a previously-cached dpop_token is still valid.Mirrors ``check_oauth_status`` for the npub-proof flow: a callingagent can ask "will my next paid call accept this dpop_token?"before burning credits on a guaranteed failure.Free, no side effects — does not evict the cache or touch relays.Args: patron_npub: Required. The patron's npub (npub1...). dpop_token: Required. The dpop_token phrase returned by ``request_npub_proof`` / ``receive_npub_proof``.

Step 2/3 of Authority onboarding — verify candidate DM, escalate to parent Authority.The parent Authority is resolved from THIS Authority's own entry indpyc-community: whatever its ``upstream_authority_npub`` names. ForLonnie-Authority and NorthAmerica that's Prime; for NewEngland it'sNorthAmerica; chain depth is transparent.

Delete a coupon. Cascades to all patron redemptions.Any chain step referencing the deleted coupon_id becomes ano-op (the constraint returns neutral on unknown ids) — theStudio surfaces orphan references as warnings.RESTRICTED to operator — requires proof.

Remove a single patron credential field.Deletes one field from stored credentials without affectingother fields. Free. Proof of npub ownership is required —this is a write to the patron's sensitive credential vault.Args: npub: The patron's Nostr public key (npub1...). dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool. field: The credential field name to remove.

Remove an Operator from the DPYC community registry.Requires the same two proofs as ``register_operator``:- ``proof`` proves the caller controls the Operator's ``npub``.- ``authority_proof`` proves the Authority's human admin consents to the removal. Without the Authority proof, anyone who knew an Operator's public npub and held its nsec could remove themselves from this Authority's roster without the Authority noticing.

Remove a coupon from this patron's redemption list.Cosmetic only — the coupon itself still exists at the operator,and the patron can re-redeem the same code later while thewindow allows. Free — requires proof of ``npub``.

Delete vaulted credentials for a specific service and npub.For operator credentials, pass the operator's own npub. For patroncredentials, pass the patron's npub. Always requires proof ofnpub ownership — a deletion is as destructive as a write.Args: service: The credential service to forget. npub: The Nostr public key (npub1...) whose credentials to forget. dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool.Free.

Read an operator's adoption-request status (free, no proof).Status (pending/approved/rejected/provisioned) isn't sensitive — it'sthe operator's own request — so the operator can poll it openly viaits ``adoption_status`` tool.

Read an npub's public Nostr profile (NIP-01 kind-0 metadata).Free, no proof — the data is already public on relays. Returns thelatest metadata fields (name, display_name, about, picture, banner,nip05, website, lud16) or an empty profile if none is published.

Generate a Merkle inclusion proof that a patron's balance wasincluded in a Bitcoin-notarized snapshot.Args: notarization_id: The notarization record ID. npub: The patron's Nostr public key (npub1...).

Retrieve operator bootstrap configuration (Neon URL, schema).Gated by Schnorr signature proving ownership of the requested npub.

Report this operator's configuration readiness.Shows which operator settings are configured, which are missing,and how to deliver each missing value. For patron-level credentialstatus, use get_patron_onboarding_status instead. Free.

List stored patron credential field names (not values).Returns the names of fields stored for a patron. Valuesare never exposed — use this to verify which fields areconfigured. Free. Proof of npub ownership is required: thelist of configured fields is itself sensitive (revealswhich integrations a patron has set up).Args: npub: The patron's Nostr public key (npub1...). dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool.

Report a patron's credential readiness for this operator.For set-once services (eXcalibur, TheBrain), shows which patronsecrets are configured and which are missing. For dynamic/OAuth2services (Schwab), reports that no patron credentials are needed.Free. Proof of npub ownership is required because credentialpresence is sensitive information about the patron's setup.Args: patron_npub: The patron's Nostr public key (npub1...). dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by patron_npub for this too…

Get the active pricing model for this operator. Free.If no model exists, self-initializes a scaffold with allregistered tools at 0 sats. No economic data from code.

Owner queue: list pending operator-adoption requests.Restricted to the Authority owner (consent proof). This is thereview-on-your-own-time surface the Pricing Studio renders.

Return canonical (tool_id, mcp_name, …) for every registered tool.The authoritative source for any client (Studio, agents, FE)that needs to know how this MCP identifies its tools.Reconcile uses this output to UUID-join against the storedpricing model — no name-based UUID derivation, no guessing.If the operator renames a function or rebrands a slug, themcp_name in this output changes but tool_id stays. That's thewhole point of the canonical-UUID design.Free, no side effects.

List all available constraint types and their parameter schemas.Returns the type, category, description, and parameter specs forevery constraint that can be used in a pricing pipeline.Free — no credits required.

List every coupon this operator has minted (newest first).Each row carries the current ``times_redeemed`` counter — theStudio renders a progress bar from this against ``total_uses``.RESTRICTED to operator — requires proof.

List the coupons this patron has redeemed on this operator.Returns both active and exhausted redemptions with a per-row``status`` (``active`` / ``window_closed`` / ``patron_limit`` /``total_limit``). Free — requires proof of ``npub``.

List recent Bitcoin notarization records.Args: limit: Maximum records to return (default 20). status: Optional filter (e.g., 'submitted', 'confirmed').

Create a new operator-owned discount coupon.Args: name: The catchy code patrons type to redeem (operator-scoped uniqueness). discount_percent: Percentage off the base price (0-100). valid_from: ISO-8601 datetime when the coupon becomes active. valid_until: ISO-8601 datetime when the coupon expires. uses_per_patron: How many tool calls one patron can claim the discount on (default 1; pass null/None for unlimited within the window). total_uses: Aggregate cap across all patrons (default None = unli…

Build a Merkle tree of all patron balances and submit the rootto Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps.Operator-only background task. Bitcoin confirmation takes 1-6 hours.Free — no credits required.

View registration status, balance summary, and the Authority's Nostr npub.When an explicit ``npub`` is provided, requires a Schnorr proof ofownership — without it, anyone could enumerate balances by walkingthe community registry. When ``npub`` is empty, falls back to theAuthority's own operator identity and skips the proof check (self-inspection is always allowed).

Publish a CLIENT-SIGNED kind-0 profile to relays for an npub.The wheel never holds a patron nsec. The frontend signs the kind-0metadata event with the patron's session key or a NIP-07 extension andpasses the signed event (JSON) here; the wheel verifies the signaturematches the npub, then relays it to public relays. The signature is theauthorization — no proof token, no key custody. Free.Args: npub: The patron's Nostr public key the event must be signed by. signed_event: A JSON-encoded, client-si…

Buy credits via Bitcoin Lightning.Creates a Lightning invoice. Pay it with any Lightning wallet,then call check_payment to confirm. Proof of npub ownership isrequired so credits land in the correct ledger.Free — no credits required to call.Args: npub: The Nostr public key (npub1...) the credits will fund. dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool. amount_sats: Satoshis to purchase (default 1000).

Inbound: record an operator's request to be adopted by this Authority.Called MCP-to-MCP by the operator's ``request_adoption``. Verifies theoperator controls ``operator_npub`` (inline Schnorr bound to theadoption sentinel — no relay round-trip), records a durable ``pending``row, and fires a best-effort owner-notification DM. Does NOT provision —provisioning waits for the owner's ``approve_adoption``.

Pick up credentials from the Secure Courier.Completes the CREDENTIAL-DELIVERY flow (the ownership-proofcounterpart is ``receive_npub_proof``).**Call this only after the user confirms they have replied.**Deterministic, one-shot retrieval: name the response you want with``(sender_npub, service, dpop_token)`` and the tool drains ONLY therendezvous relay that channel was pinned to. Every popped DM with thewrong session phrase is deleted and its sender is NACK'd; the first DMwith the matching phrase …

Receive npub ownership confirmation from a patron.Completes the npub-OWNERSHIP-PROOF flow (the credential-deliverycounterpart is ``receive_credentials``).**Call this only after the user confirms they have replied.**Deterministic, one-shot retrieval: name the response with``(patron_npub, dpop_token)`` — the ``dpop_token`` being the valuereturned by ``request_npub_proof``. The tool drains ONLY the pinnedrendezvous relay that challenge was published on, stopping at the DMwhose phrase matches. Misma…

Claim a coupon by its name (the code the operator shared).Looks up the operator's coupon by ``code``, validates the windowand total cap, and records a per-patron redemption row.Subsequent paid tool calls on this MCP auto-apply the discountuntil ``uses_per_patron`` is exhausted.Free — no credits required. Requires proof of ``npub``.Idempotent: redeeming the same code twice returns the existingredemption.

Step 1/3 of Authority onboarding — send a Nostr DM challenge to the candidate.

Provision an operator in the Authority ledger.Creates a ledger entry so the operator can purchase credits andcertify purchase orders. Idempotent — safe to call again.Requires TWO independent identity proofs:1. ``proof`` — Schnorr proof signed by the candidate operator's ``npub``. Proves the requester really controls that npub. The operator typically calls ``request_npub_proof`` / ``receive_npub_proof`` against this Authority first to mint a cached dpop_token.2. ``authority_proof`` — Schnorr proo…

Reject a pending operator-adoption request (owner consent).

Owner repair: reassign every table in an operator's tenant schema tothe operator's own role, then re-grant DML.For tenants whose tables were created/owned by the provisioning role —the operator role then cannot CREATE INDEX on them ("must be owner"),which aborts the whole vault bootstrap. Unlike register_operator thisdoes NOT rotate the operator's DB password or re-send the bootstrap DM;it only fixes ownership + grants in place. Idempotent.

Ask a chosen Authority to adopt this operator (deferred courtship).RESTRICTED to the operator — requires proof the caller controls thisoperator's npub. Resolves the Authority's MCP endpoint from thecommunity registry, mints an inline ownership proof with thisoperator's nsec, and delivers the request MCP-to-MCP. The Authorityrecords it as pending; its owner approves on their own time. Poll``adoption_status`` for progress; the operator flips to ``ready``once the Authority provisions it.Args: autho…

Open a Secure Courier channel for credential delivery.This is the CREDENTIAL-DELIVERY flow — use it to hand over a servicesecret (API keys, tokens). To merely prove you control an npub (theusual answer to a ``proof_required`` error), use ``request_npub_proof``instead. Note: dynamic/OAuth2 services (e.g. Schwab) need NO courieredsecret — check ``service_status`` first.Sends a welcome DM with a credential template. The recipientmust read the DM in their Nostr client, fill in the fields,and reply m…

Request npub ownership proof from a patron via Nostr DM.This is the npub-OWNERSHIP-PROOF flow — use it when a call returns``proof_required``. It proves the caller controls an npub; it doesNOT deliver any service secret. To hand an operator its API keys orOAuth secrets, use ``request_credential_channel`` instead.Sends a challenge DM that the patron must sign and reply tousing their Nostr client. **This is a human-in-the-loop flow.**After calling this tool, STOP and tell the user to check theirNos…

Erase all pricing models and restore a viable default.Deletes every stored model, then self-initializes a fresh onefrom the tool registry — all tools at 0 sats with proper UUIDs.Returns the new model.RESTRICTED to operator — requires proof (nsec-signed).

Credit a patron's ledger from a BTCPay-settled invoice.**RESTRICTED to the operator** — the operator owns the books and isthe only party who can issue a manual credit grant. Patrons whobelieve they paid but never got credits must escalate to theoperator's support, who then invokes this tool on their behalf.Use cases: cold-start vault races during check_payment, ncreddelivery hiccups, patrons closing Top-Off sheets before settle,any infrastructure incident that left an invoice settled at BTCPaybu…

Re-run ``ensure_schema()`` on every NeonVault this operator uses.Diagnostic / recovery tool for the case where the Neon HTTP SQL APIis returning persistent 4xx errors and the operator suspects theschema isn't there or grants are wrong. Idempotent — uses``CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`` so a successful re-run is harmless.Returns the per-step result. If any step raises, surfaces the Neonerror message inline (0.31.0 reads the SQL error body that earlierwheels swallowed behind ``raise_for_status``).RES…

Check the health and configuration of this service. Free.

Check operator readiness. Returns the operator lifecyclestate and clear guidance on what to do next. Free.Lifecycle states:- ready: Operator is warm and fully operational — vault AND pricing model verified. Proceed with tool calls.- warming_up: Operator is initializing (cold start). Try a tool call — it will warm up on demand.- misconfigured: Persistence rejected a query with a permanent SQL error (permission denied, missing relation). Paid tools will fail until the operator repairs the database…

Set the active pricing model. RESTRICTED to operator.Requires a valid proof (Schnorr-signed kind-27235 event)proving the caller holds the operator's nsec.

Patch a coupon's editable fields.Pass only the fields you want to change. To set a cap tounlimited (NULL in the schema), pass ``clear_uses_per_patron=true``or ``clear_total_uses=true``. Renaming the code is allowed —existing patron redemption rows survive (they key on coupon id).RESTRICTED to operator — requires proof.

Update an existing Operator's community registry entry.Requires the same two proofs as ``register_operator``:- ``proof`` proves the caller controls the Operator's ``npub``.- ``authority_proof`` proves the Authority's human admin consents to the change. Without the Authority proof, anyone with the Operator's nsec could redirect their own ``service_url`` under this Authority's signature without the Authority's awareness.

Add or update a single patron credential field.Merges into existing stored credentials without affectingother fields. Useful for setting an account identifierafter OAuth, changing a default brain, etc. Free. Proof ofnpub ownership is required — this is a write to the patron'ssensitive credential vault.Args: npub: The patron's Nostr public key (npub1...). dpop_token: A kind-27235 Nostr event signed by npub for this tool. field: The credential field name to set. value: The value to store.
