Server tool list (7)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| list_pools | All active Unlimited pools: models served, per-block USDC price for 30 days, coarse availability. Blocks are 8h daily windows (UTC); reserving all blocks = 24/7. No auth required. |
| get_pool | One pool in detail: models, per-block prices, availability, and what the subscription includes. |
| get_crypto_quote | Quote for subscribing to a pool with USDC on Base: exact amount, payment address, and the claim message you must sign after paying. Crypto subscriptions are one-time 30 days (no auto-renewal). |
| confirm_crypto_subscription | After sending the quoted USDC amount on Base, submit the transaction hash plus an EIP-191 signature of the claim message (from get_crypto_quote) made with the paying wallet. Verifies the payment on-chain and returns your API key. Idempotent: safe to retry with the same tx_hash. |
| get_card_checkout_link | Card payments require a browser (3-D Secure). Returns the dashboard page for the pool where a human can complete checkout. Card subscriptions auto-renew monthly until cancelled. |
| get_subscription_status | Status of a pool subscription key: pool, reserved daily blocks, expiry, renewal semantics. |
| get_connection_info | OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic base URLs plus ready-to-paste client snippets. Works with or without a key (keyless: explains subscribe and x402 pay-per-request options). |
