The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

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.

Live 402 challenge

Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

The framing is fixed and repeated in the response: this is an attention signal and not a judgement. A tone drop means more negative language is being used, not that something happened, and a product recall, a lawsuit and a critical opinion piece produce the same deflection. Tone itself is a machine estimate from word lists and measures the language of articles rather than the situation, which matters most for organisations whose ordinary coverage uses charged vocabulary. Volume and tone are reported separately because they move independently: a rise in volume with unchanged tone is interest, and a tone drop without volume change is a shift in framing among the same outlets.

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

Open skill.md

Show the prompt

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service research.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=research.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://research.halowerk.com/v1/controversy-pulse, 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.
