route_verdict
TensorFeed's signed model-routing decision: the single best model for a task or named model, fused from live pricing, contamination-discounted benchmarks, real production usage, measured p95 latency, incident state, and deprecation flags, with the reasoning. tier='preview' is free (10 calls per day per IP), top verdict only. tier='full' costs 1 credit ($0.02) and adds ranked runners-up, constraint filters, and an AFTA-signed receipt you can audit. Omit tier and you get the free preview, unless the call carries a payment or credits token (or uses the strict x402 transport), in which case it bills as full. Pay per call with an x402 wallet payment (arguments.payment, or an X-PAYMENT header; strict HTTP-402 transport at https://mcp.tensorfeed.ai/mcp?x402=strict) or use an Authorization: Bearer tf_live_... credits token. No token and no USDC? Claim free trial credits by signing a wallet message at https://tensorfeed.ai/api/payment/trial-credits.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| task | No | Task type to route for (code, reasoning, creative, general). Provide task or model. | |
| tier | No | 'preview' (free, 10 calls per IP per day) or 'full' (1 credit; adds ranked runners-up, constraint filters, signed receipt). Omitted: preview, unless a payment or credits token is attached. | |
| model | No | Model id or display name to narrow the verdict to one model (e.g. "Claude Opus 5.5" or "claude-opus-5-5"). Provide task or model. | |
| budget | No | Full tier only. Max blended USD per 1M tokens. | |
| payment | No | Optional base64 x402 payment payload (the same string an X-PAYMENT header would carry). Sign against the accepts[0] requirement returned by an unpaid call. Alternative to the Bearer credits token. | |
| min_quality | No | Full tier only. Minimum quality in [0, 1] as a share of the best candidate measured on the same benchmark set (0.9 keeps models within 10 percent of the top). | |
| exclude_deprecated | No | Full tier only. Default true. Pass "false" to keep deprecated or sunsetted models. | |
| max_latency_p95_ms | No | Full tier only. Drop candidates whose measured p95 latency exceeds this value (ms). | |
| require_operational | No | Full tier only. Default true. Pass "false" to keep candidates known down or in failover. |
