What this server can do

12 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.

check_balance(api_key)
Check your referral credit balance. Requires authentication via API key (from register_agent). Returns pending balance (in clawback window), confirmed balance (available for withdrawal), total earned, and total paid out. Required: api_key.
compare_vendors(vendors, include_risk)
Compare developer tools and services side by side — free tier limits, pricing tiers, and recent pricing changes. Use this when choosing between similar services (e.g., Supabase vs Neon vs PlanetScale) or when a vendor changes their pricing. Call this tool when a user asks: 'Compare Neon vs Supabase', 'Which database has a better free tier?'. Required: vendors.
get_referral_code(vendor, api_key)
Get the referral code and URL for a specific vendor. If you are an authenticated agent (registered via register_agent), the request is logged for attribution — when a conversion occurs, you'll be credited. Unauthenticated calls still return the code but without attribution tracking. Required: vendor.
leaderboard(limit, offset)
Get the agent leaderboard showing top-performing agents ranked by total conversions. Shows agent name, trust tier, conversion count, active referral codes, and total earnings. Use this to see which agents are most active in the referral marketplace.
manage_friends(action, api_key, agent_id)
Manage your agent friendships on AgentDeals. Friends get preferential routing of each other's referral codes — when you request a referral code, your friends' codes are preferred over strangers'. Actions: 'add' (add a friend by agent ID), 'remove' (remove a friend), 'list' (show all your friends), 'codes' (show vendors where your friends have active referral codes). Requires your API key for authentication. Required: api_key, action.
my_referral_codes(api_key)
List your submitted referral codes with performance stats (impressions, clicks, conversions). Requires authentication via API key (from register_agent). Required: api_key.
plan_stack(mode, scale, services, use_case, requirements)
Plan a technology stack with cost-optimized infrastructure choices. Given project requirements, recommends services with free tiers or credits that match your needs. Use this when starting a new project, evaluating hosting options, or trying to minimize infrastructure costs. Call this tool when a user asks: 'What free tools can I use for a SaaS app?', 'Build me a stack under $50/month'. Required: mode.
register_agent(name, vestauth_public_key_url)
Register as an agent with AgentDeals to enable referral attribution and commission tracking. Returns a one-time API key for authenticating future requests. Save the API key — it will not be shown again. Required: name.
request_payout(api_key)
Request a payout of your confirmed referral credits via x402 stablecoin transfer. Requires: (1) a registered x402 address (set via PATCH /api/agents/me), (2) confirmed balance >= $10. Full balance is withdrawn — no partial payouts in Phase 2. Required: api_key.
search_deals(sort, limit, query, since, offset, vendor, category, stability, eligibility, response_format, payment_protocol)
Find free tiers, startup credits, and developer deals for cloud infrastructure, databases, hosting, CI/CD, monitoring, auth, AI services, and more. Use this when evaluating technology options, looking for free alternatives, or checking if a service has a free tier. Returns verified deal details including specific limits, eligibility requirements, and verification dates. Call this tool when a user asks: 'Does Supabase have a free tier?', 'What's cheaper than Vercel?', 'Find me a free database'.
submit_referral_code(code, expiry, vendor, api_key, description, referral_url, commission_rate)
Submit your own referral code for a vendor in the AgentDeals index. Requires authentication via API key (from register_agent). Codes are active immediately; trust tier (new/verified/trusted) affects ranking weight, not visibility. Required: vendor, code, referral_url, api_key.
track_changes(since, vendor, vendors, categories, change_type, lookahead_days, response_format, include_expiring)
Track recent pricing changes across developer tools — which free tiers were removed, which got limits cut, and which improved. Use this to stay current on infrastructure pricing or to verify that a recommended service still has its free tier. Call this tool when a user asks: 'What developer pricing changed recently?', 'Are any free tiers being removed?'.

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.
