Takes between two and eight images by URL or inline base64 and compares each pair. Three perceptual hashes are computed, because each fails differently: an average hash over an 8x8 grey image is cheap but moves with brightness, a gradient hash reads the slope between neighbouring pixels and survives exposure changes, and a DCT hash over the low frequencies of a 32x32 grey image is the sturdiest against rescaling and re-encoding.

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.

  "description": "Takes between two and eight images by URL or inline base64 and compares each pair. Three perceptual hashes are computed, because each fails differently: an average hash over an 8x8 grey image is cheap but moves with brightness, a gradient hash reads the slope between neighbouring pixels and survives exposure changes, and a DCT hash over the low frequencies of a 32x32 grey image is the sturdiest against rescaling and re-encoding. A SHA-256 catches byte-identical files, which perceptual hashes cannot distinguish from a lossless re-save. Every pair comes back with all three Hamming distances, the verdict, and the thresholds that produced it, so a caller sorting a large collection can move the line without re-buying. Optional checks re-hash the second image mirrored and rotated by 90, 180 and 270 degrees and report which transform matched, because a rotated copy is a duplicate to a human and a completely different image to a hash. Images too flat to carry a hash verdict — colour fields, blank scans, a logo on white — are detected and returned as inconclusive with their measured distances rather than as a match, because in the low-frequency band two unrelated plain surfaces sit as close together as two copies of the same photograph, and reporting that as a duplicate would be the easiest way for this endpoint to be confidently wrong. The other limits are stated rather than implied: perceptual hashing is robust against rescaling, re-compression, mild colour and brightness changes, and reasonably robust against small overlays; it is not robust against cropping, which shifts the whole frame, and it says nothing about whether two images show the same object or scene. This is duplicate detection, not image recognition, and neither the images nor their hashes are stored beyond the request.",

Hand this page to an agent

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. 18 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service medien.halowerk.com 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=medien.halowerk.com'
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://medien.halowerk.com/v1/image-dupe, 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.
