Tools (3)

• find_paid_endpoint247 tok

  Find the best paid API endpoint (x402 / MPP) for a task right now. Returns sellers ranked by live health, speed and price, with fallbacks when several sell the same thing. Works for any task: if no group of sellers matches, it returns the closest single endpoints from the full inventory. You pay the seller directly; SwitchBord never touches money.

• report_result129 tok

  Report how a paid call went so rankings stay honest. Include the payment tx hash when you paid.

• list_markets52 tok

  List the markets (groups of interchangeable paid endpoints) with seller counts and payment rails.
