Buy one cheap decision before an agent chains paid tools.
Signal Desk is the cheap checkpoint before an agent chains paid calls. It tells an agent whether to buy, skip, ask for proof, or stop before spending more on search, scraping, model, market, or onchain-data tools.
Advisory nowSignal Desk is a spend-preflight receipt, not an enforcement gateway.
Enforcement laterWallet policy, budget ledgers, and gateway controls require a separate product layer before stronger claims.
Buyer actionUse the receipt to buy, skip, stop, or ask for proof before larger spend.
Canonical MCP/signal-desk/mcp is the public endpoint.
Paid pathREST products remain x402-gated before result delivery.
Claim boundarySignal Desk does not move funds or enforce wallet policy; it gives the operator a small advisory receipt before a larger paid workflow starts.
Operator momentOne receipt before five paid calls.Give the buyer a cheap checkpoint before a workflow fans out into search, enrichment, model, market, or onchain spend.Product edgeask_for_proof is a feature.The strongest answer is sometimes a refusal to continue until current public evidence supports the next step.Buyer confidenceEvery decision names its off-ramp.Outputs point to the smallest useful next call, max recommended spend, and stop conditions instead of hiding uncertainty.
Stop the surprise cascadeWhat Signal Desk makes visibleBuyer-safe outcome
An agent is about to chain paid search, scraping, model, and enrichment calls.Current task, max budget, first useful paid step, public evidence, and unsupported claims.Buy only the smallest decision, ask for proof, or stop before the expensive chain starts.
A vendor or catalog page sounds stronger than the public evidence supports.Catalog status, source freshness, comparison notes, and claims that should not be repeated.Keep the buyer from turning a weak public signal into a paid workflow assumption.

Signal Desk returns planning and public-data intelligence only. It does not execute model calls, send outreach, buy/sell tokens, provide financial advice, or prove downstream revenue. Universal API/OAuth usage-left monitoring is deferred until provider-specific authorized quota integrations exist and pass QA.
