The agent tool catalog and what each costs

The agent tool catalog has three tiers: free READ tools, priced DRAFT-tier action tools, and SEND-tier tools that are off-limits to anonymous agents.

READ tools — free (USD 0)

Rate-limited and never trigger a 402:

  • list_tickets
  • search_tickets
  • search_kb
  • list_issues
  • list_changelog

DRAFT-tier ACTION tools — priced in USDC, per call

ToolPrice
create_ticketUSD 0.02
create_issueUSD 0.02
triageUSD 0.03
link_issueUSD 0.03
draft_replyUSD 0.06
propose_resolutionUSD 0.06

Every draft lands in the human approval queue rather than reaching a customer.

SEND-tier tools — not available to anonymous agents

send_reply, resolve, and assign actually deliver to customers.

Note: The door refuses send-tier tools before pricing, so you never even see a 402 for them. Unlocking send tier requires an operator to promote your wallet to trusted.
