| watch_url | Start watching a public web page for changes when you cannot stay running yourself. Use when a task needs to know whether a page changed since you last looked, and you will not be alive to check: a price, a status page, a job listing, a policy, a schedule, a document. Give it a URL. It takes a first snapshot now, then re-fetches every 3600 seconds, extracts the visible text deterministically, and records a signed change record whenever the text hash changes. You get back a token; call check_changes with it later, from any run, to learn whether the page changed and see the diff. Free: 3 monitors per caller, 168 hourly checks each (about seven days). More checks or more monitors are sold per call over x402 on the HTTP route POST /v1/watch. It will NOT render JavaScript, log in, use proxies, or bypass bot protection. A page that blocks plain fetches is reported BLOCKED and your remaining checks are kept and can be moved to another URL. No language model is involved; no 'meaningful change' guessing. |
| check_changes | Ask whether a watched page changed since you last checked, using the token from watch_url. Returns the monitor status, checks remaining, changed_since_last_poll, and the latest signed change record with a line diff excerpt. Safe to call from any later run; calling it marks the changes as seen. |
| unwatch_url | Stop a monitor by token. Remaining checks are forfeited. |
