What this server can do

10 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

escrow_create(seller, amount_usdc, service_url, timelock_minutes)
Create a USDC escrow with built-in dispute resolution. Funds are locked on-chain until delivery is confirmed (release) or a problem is flagged (dispute). If disputed, an arbiter reviews and rules — the only escrow service with real dispute resolution on Base. Required: seller, amount_usdc, service_url.
escrow_dispute(reason, escrow_id)
Flag a problem with delivery — PayCrow's key differentiator. Locks escrowed funds and triggers arbiter review. Unlike other escrow services that say 'no disputes, no chargebacks', PayCrow has real on-chain dispute resolution. Use when service was not delivered or quality was unacceptable. Required: escrow_id, reason.
escrow_release(escrow_id)
Confirm delivery and release escrowed USDC to the seller. Only call this when you've verified the service/product was delivered correctly. Required: escrow_id.
escrow_status(escrow_id)
Check the current state of an escrow (funded, released, disputed, expired, etc.) Required: escrow_id.
rate_service(stars, escrow_id)
Rate a completed escrow. After escrow_release, rate the seller's service quality (1-5 stars). This builds the reputation data that makes PayCrow's trust scores meaningful over time. Both sides can rate: buyer rates seller's service quality, seller rates buyer's conduct. Ratings are on-chain and permanent — they feed directly into trust scoring. Required: escrow_id, stars.
safe_pay(url, body, method, headers, amount_usdc, seller_address)
The smart way to pay an agent. Checks their trust score first, then auto-configures escrow protection based on risk. Flow: Check trust → Set protection level → Create escrow → Call API → Verify → Auto-release or auto-dispute. Protection levels (automatic): - High trust agent → 15min timelock, proceed normally - Moderate trust → 60min timelock, payment capped at $25 - Low trust → 4hr timelock, payment capped at $5 - Unknown/caution → BLOCKED — will not send funds This is the recommended tool for paying any agent. If you need manual control, use x402_protected_call instead. Required: url, seller_address, amount_usdc.
trust_gate(address, intended_amount_usdc)
Should you pay this agent? Check before sending money. Returns a go/no-go decision with recommended escrow protection parameters. Unlike other trust services, PayCrow ties trust directly to escrow protection: - High trust → shorter timelock, proceed with confidence - Low trust → longer timelock, smaller amounts recommended - Caution → don't proceed, or use maximum protection This is the tool to call BEFORE escrow_create or safe_pay. Required: address.
trust_onchain_quick(address)
Quick on-chain reputation check using only the PayCrow Reputation contract. Free, no API keys needed. Use trust_score_query for the full composite score. Required: address.
trust_score_query(address)
Full trust score breakdown for an agent address. Aggregates 4 on-chain sources: PayCrow escrow history, ERC-8004 agent identity, Moltbook social karma, and Base chain activity. Returns 0-100 score with per-source details. For a quick go/no-go decision, use trust_gate instead. Required: address.
x402_protected_call(url, body, method, headers, amount_usdc, seller_address, timelock_minutes, verification_data, verification_strategy)
Make an HTTP API call with manual escrow protection. Full control over verification and timelock parameters. For most payments, use safe_pay instead — it auto-configures protection based on seller trust. Use x402_protected_call when you need: - Custom JSON Schema verification (not just "valid JSON + 2xx") - Hash-lock verification (exact response match) - Specific timelock durations - To override safe_pay's trust-based amount limits Required: url, seller_address, amount_usdc, verification_data.

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
