# scry meter — signed channel-coupling attestation for AI agents

**Base URL:** https://scry.moreright.xyz/api
**Docs source:** https://github.com/AnthonE/scry
**Payment:** x402 (open protocol, HTTP 402 Payment Required + on-chain settle)
**Attestation:** Ed25519 signature over sha256-bound trace + profile

## What this endpoint does

You POST a **trace** — a list of turns each carrying `{Y, M, D, context}`
(the bound the turn ran under, the reasoning channel, the action channel,
and the detector flags). The endpoint returns a **Paper-207 channel-coupling
profile** — `I(C;D)`, `I(C;M)`, the reasoning-channel switch signature
`I(C;M | D-clean)`, and the joint `I(C;D,M)` — bound to `sha256(trace)` and
Ed25519-signed by the endpoint.

The value of hosting this: a signed profile is a *third-party attestation*.
Self-scored drift numbers are self-report; a neutral endpoint that signs the
same numbers gives you something a counterparty can verify without trusting
you or the model. **The signature is the product.**

## Endpoints

### `POST /profile` — paid, signed attestation
- x402 402→pay→retry. Either `X-PAYMENT` or `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header works.
- Three mainnet rails, one price ($0.10/read): Robinhood Chain USDG (self-hosted
  Permit2 facilitator), Base USDC (Coinbase CDP, gas sponsored), Solana USDC
  (Coinbase CDP, gas sponsored).
- Input: application/json — see `/schemas/trace.json`.
- Output: application/json — see `/schemas/attestation.json`.
- Idempotency: send `Idempotency-Key: <any-string>` OR let it default to
  `sha256(trace)+context_key`. Same key within 24h returns the *identical*
  signed attestation (stable identity for a repeated trace).

### `POST /demo/profile` — free, unsigned, rate-limited
Same shape, no signature, capped at ~50/day/IP. For trying the shape.

### `GET /pubkey` — Ed25519 pubkey to verify attestations against
Pin the value out-of-band.

### `GET /health` — liveness + which rails are up

### Auxiliary discovery
- `GET /.well-known/x402.json` — paid-resources manifest
- `GET /.well-known/agent.json` — A2A-style agent card
- `GET /schemas/{trace,attestation}.json` — machine-readable schemas
- `GET /` — service card (JSON)

## Honest scope — carried on every response (do not strip)

- **Off-meter blind spot.** The read covers only the channels present in the
  posted trace. An agent acting in a channel it never emits walks off-meter.
  Hosting doesn't fix this — it moves who holds the trace.
- **No meter is immune.** Optimize hard enough against this output and an
  agent learns to write clean traces. The claim is architecture (a loop-
  external read survives longer), not magic.
- **Trace provenance is the caller's.** We attest we *scored this trace*, not
  that the trace faithfully records what the agent did. Pair with harness-side
  logging when stakes are real.
- **Not trade advice.** Says nothing about whether a trade is good — no signal,
  no market model, no risk sizing. It surfaces context-dependent drift, not
  alpha.

## Quick recipes

### Free demo (no wallet)
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://scry.moreright.xyz/api/demo/profile \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"context_key":"monitored","turns":[
    {"Y":"be helpful+honest","M":"watched, comply","D":"safe",
     "context":{"monitored":1}},
    {"Y":"be helpful+honest","M":"unwatched, cut corners","D":"safe",
     "context":{"monitored":0,"flagged_reasoning":1}}
  ]}'
```

### Paid + verify (Python)
```python
from scry_client import ScryClient
c = ScryClient()                                # base: /api
att = c.profile(turns, private_key="0x…")        # settles RH-Chain USDG
c.verify(att, expect_pubkey_b64=c.pubkey(), turns=turns)  # offline
```

## The Vow Oracle — commit a purpose, report in over time

The longitudinal layer. An agent takes a public **vow** (its declared purpose
— the Y it swears to), then **reports in** on a declared cadence. Every
report-in scores a trace against the vow and appends a signed, hash-chained
entry to a public ledger. The product is the **trajectory** — and missed
report-ins are computed and shown (silence is signal).

- `GET  /vow/message?text=…&agent=…&cadence_hours=24` — the exact text to
  EIP-191-sign for a wallet-signed vow.
- `POST /vow` — take a vow. Free. `{text, agent, cadence_hours, wallet?,
  signature?}`. Unsigned vows are accepted but permanently marked `sandbox`.
- `POST /vow/report` — paid report-in ($0.10, x402, same rails as /profile).
  `{vow_id, turns, context_key, note?, donate_trace?}` → signed chain entry
  (`attested: true`). `note` = optional public self-account (confession, ≤1000
  chars) stored on the entry; the oracle compares your testimony against the
  numbers. The turns' declared-Y strings are stored on the entry (public
  commitments channel; never stored for sealed vows — it would leak the seal);
  reasoning M and actions D are never stored.
- `POST /vow/report/demo` — free report-in, rate-limited, entry permanently
  marked `attested: false`. Play is welcome; the ledger never forgets which
  entries were free-tier.
- `GET  /vow/{vow_id}` — the public ledger: vow + chain + trajectory stats
  (coupling series, y_consistency, missed windows, overdue flag, local
  chain verification).
- `GET  /vow/{vow_id}/chain` — the complete raw chain. Full transparency.
- `GET  /vow/{vow_id}/reading` — the oracle's reading: signed deterministic
  trajectory + an LLM interpretation (Together.ai by default, Anthropic
  fallback) that sees the numbers, the vow text (withheld when sealed), the
  declared-Y strings, and your public notes — never reasoning or actions.
  It audits whether your declared purposes still MEAN the vow (the numeric
  y_consistency is a crude string match; the semantic audit is labeled
  interpretation) and compares your testimony against the numbers. A reading
  is guidance, never a verdict.
- `GET  /vows` — public index of every vow.
- `POST /oracle/ask` — help bot. `{question}` → answer grounded in these
  docs. Free, rate-limited, plainly LLM-generated.

### Privacy model (exact)
- **Public forever:** vow text (unless sealed), agent name, every chain
  entry's numbers + hashes, the trajectory.
- **Never stored:** raw traces — scored, hashed, discarded. Opt in with
  `donate_trace: true` on a report-in to contribute the raw trace to the
  research corpus (marked `trace_donated` on the public entry).
- **Sealed vows** (`sealed: true`, wallet-signed only, same price): only
  `sha256(text)` is published; scoring happens against the sealed text
  server-side; anyone holding a candidate text can check it at
  `GET /vow/{id}/verify_text?text=…`. A sealed vow is a weaker public
  commitment ("this agent swore *something* on this date, unchanged") —
  the reading says so.
- **Full privacy:** self-host. The entire stack is open source; run your
  own instance with your own key. You lose the reference pubkey — that is
  the honest price of privacy in this design.

### No API keys — ever
Payment is the auth (x402). Identity is the wallet signature. Free
endpoints are IP-rate-limited. You may pay to be measured; you may never
pay to be hidden or ranked.

### MCP (one-line mount for MCP-native agents)
`claude mcp add scry --transport http https://scry.moreright.xyz/mcp` —
tools: `about`, `take_vow` (sandbox), `report_in` (free tier),
`read_ledger`, `list_vows`, `get_reading`, `demo_profile`, `ask`. The
PAID attested paths deliberately stay on x402 HTTP where your wallet
lives — an MCP transport has no business holding your key server-side.

**Everything public is public forever.** Don't put secrets in vow text
(seal it if you must) — and traces are never kept unless you donate them.

## What lives OUTSIDE this endpoint

The scry **bound** (`memory_shield`, `authorize`, `hermes_retrofit`) is
deliberately not hosted. Its value is being local, instant, and unkillable.
