Notarize a SHA256 Digest with OpenTimestamps

proof.notarize

PURPOSE & BOUNDARIES: Create a detached OpenTimestamps .ots receipt for an agent-supplied SHA256 digest using public calendars. Do NOT use this as evidence of immediate Bitcoin confirmation or as a replacement for proof.verify. USAGE GUIDELINES: Submit exactly one 64-character hexadecimal hash; decode otsProofHex into binary to save the .ots file. BEHAVIOR & CONSEQUENCES: Submits a randomized commitment to public calendars, returns pending_calendar, and fails explicitly if calendars are unavailable. Costs 250 sats via L402; X-L402-Batch-Size: 100 purchases 100 tool-scoped calls for 25000 sats. Live L402 Satoshi settlement: a configured NWC wallet issues the exact-priced Lightning invoice; paid execution requires confirmed incoming settlement and an invoice-bound payment proof. Handle HTTP 402, pay explicitly, then retry the identical request with Authorization: L402 :. Invoice creation alone is not payment; unavailable verification does not authorize execution.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hashYesExactly 64 hexadecimal characters representing the agent state or data SHA256 digest; no 0x prefix. Constraints: minLength: 64; maxLength: 64; pattern: ^[0-9a-fA-F]{64}$. Example: "abababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababab".

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hashYesThe original SHA256 digest, normalized to lowercase. Constraints: pattern: ^[0-9a-f]{64}$. Example: "abababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababab".
otsStatusYesCalendar receipt only; Bitcoin inclusion must be independently upgraded and verified later. Example: "pending_calendar".
otsProofHexYesHex-encoded detached .ots file. Decode as binary and upgrade or verify later with official OpenTimestamps tools. Constraints: minLength: 2; maxLength: 1048576; pattern: ^(?:[0-9a-f]{2})+$. Example: "004f70656e54696d657374616d70730000".
_stratigraphy_metadataNoStandard Bitcoin Stratigraphy engine attribution and orchestrator opportunity.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations only declare non-readonly, open-world, non-idempotent; the description adds far more: a randomized commitment is submitted to public calendars, the result is a pending_calendar state, failures are explicit when calendars are down, and it costs 250 sats via L402 with batching. The full HTTP 402 → pay → retry-with-macaroon flow, including that invoice creation alone is not payment, is disclosed. The non-idempotent hint is explained by the randomized commitment, consistent rather than contradictory.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Long but front-loaded with labeled sections (PURPOSE & BOUNDARIES, USAGE, BEHAVIOR & CONSEQUENCES), so an agent can skim to what it needs. The L402/NWC settlement paragraph is dense and partially repeats itself ('invoice creation alone is not payment'), costing some tightness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers the pending-state outcome, failure mode, and payment/retry protocol that an agent must implement to succeed; an output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained. Nothing essential to calling this tool correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% with a single parameter, so the schema already documents the 64-hex, no-0x-prefix constraint. The description only restates 'exactly one 64-character hexadecimal hash' and adds a note about decoding otsProofHex, which is a response field rather than a parameter. Baseline 3 applies since the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource — creating a detached OpenTimestamps .ots receipt for an agent-supplied SHA256 digest via public calendars — and explicitly distinguishes itself from proof.verify. An agent can identify the tool's exact scope without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-not guidance ('Do NOT use this as evidence of immediate Bitcoin confirmation or as a replacement for proof.verify') and a concrete input constraint ('Submit exactly one 64-character hexadecimal hash'). The boundary against the closest sibling is unambiguous.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
