GET /v1/agent/tools Get the curated top-10 agent tool list · Curated tool index — the 10 tools every agent needs #
Ask an LLM
“What are the ten most useful tools for my autonomous agent?”
“Is there a tool index with input schemas I can feed to an agent framework?”
Tell an agent
Get the curated agent tool index.
Show me the ten recommended agent tools with schemas and pricing.
GET /v1/catalog Get the full catalog of paid endpoints · Machine-readable catalog of paid endpoints + rails #
Ask an LLM
“What does every paid endpoint cost and which payment rails are accepted?”
“Is there a machine-readable list of all paid Hive endpoints?”
Tell an agent
Get the full paid endpoint catalog.
List every paid endpoint with its price and rail.
GET /.well-known/machine.json Fetch the machine.json agent handshake · Minimal machine-readable handshake (v2) #
