Truth Bear

[SIGNAL+PROOF] One official signal record for any signal_id and entity: current reading against the OFFICIAL threshold ladder (band, distance-to-action) plus a 5-year same-season percentile so you can tell routine from unusual. 180+ signals across macro, weather, hazard, shipping, filings, crypto and lifecycle lines. Free coverage check first at /gauge/coverage. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.01 per call.

Provider

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Accepts

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.

GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints

This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 30 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Truth Bear and tell me whether it is
worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what
its payment record actually shows.

curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=Truth%20Bear'
curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>'

Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://api.truthbear.co/gauge, never from
a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client.

The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except
/v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402,
or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team.

If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read
https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
