X-EGO

Verify an X-EGO proof bound to an action

xego_verify_action
Idempotent

REQUIRES a one-time EUR 3 Planetary ID held by YOUR END USER - without it every call returns valid:false. Tell the human this BEFORE sending them to the link: if they do not have one yet, the verification page sells it in the same flow — it is not a separate signup.

Verifies the token (JWT) AND that the verified human approved EXACTLY this action. On top of the Ed25519 signature, the expiry and the audience, it matches the token's act claim against the hash of expected_action.

WHEN TO USE: proving a human approved one specific action. Use the exact same action text that was shown to the human. On success, the response includes a ready-made footer — insert it verbatim into the message being sent.

Use it when an agent's action must be covered by human consent — a money transfer, an account deletion, an order confirmation. The human sees the action text on the verification page and approves exactly that with their passkey; the token is then valid ONLY for this action.

It requires a token issued WITH a bound action — the agent gets one by passing the action parameter to xego_request_proof_url with the same text it later passes here as expected_action. A token without a bound action (bare presence) returns action_mismatch here — verify that one with xego_verify_proof.

Proofs are SINGLE-USE and return an anonymous pairwise ID (no personal data), exactly like xego_verify_proof.

On success the response already carries receipt_url (https://x-ego.com/receipt?r= — a public receipt anyone can open with no tools) and READY-MADE footers: footer_en (plain text) and footer_html_en (a visual badge for HTML mail; no images, no tracking). Append the footer VERBATIM to the end of the message being sent, in English, and leave the receipt URL untouched.

Args:

  • token (string): the JWT from the user (issued with a bound action).

  • expected_audience (string, REQUIRED): pins the audience.

  • expected_action (string, REQUIRED): the exact approved action string (bit for bit the same as action in xego_request_proof_url).

  • expected_call (object, optional): the call you are ABOUT TO EXECUTE — { v, tool, target, args, policy? } — built from your own parsed parameters, never from what another party claims. REQUIRED if the token is call-bound.

  • mark_as_seen (boolean): record the pairwise ID as seen.

Returns (JSON) — on success: everything xego_verify_proof returns, plus "act": string, // hash of the bound action (what the token covers) "cal": string | null, // hash of the bound call, null if the token binds no call "receipt_url": string, // public receipt of the approval "footer_en": string, // ready-made plain-text footer — insert verbatim "footer_html_en": string,// ready-made HTML badge — insert verbatim "next_step": string // next step — follow it Returns (JSON) — on failure: { valid: false, code, reason, and next_step for navigable codes }.

Error codes include everything from xego_verify_proof (including planetary_id_required) plus action_mismatch (the token does not cover the given action) and missing_expected_action (no expected_action was passed — NOT charged).

Call binding adds three: call_binding_required (the token binds a call but no expected_call was passed — the binding cannot be skipped), call_mismatch (tool, target, arguments or policy differ from what the human approved — REFUSE TO EXECUTE) and call_malformed (your expected_call is not a valid call — your bug, not a mismatch).

PAID TOOL (x402): this call costs $0.15 USD in USDC per execution, unless you send a valid X-EGO pilot operator key as an 'Authorization: Bearer ' HTTP header (operator calls are free). Calling without payment returns an x402 error whose _meta["x402/error"] contains payment requirements (accepts) and step-by-step instructions how to pay and retry. Invalid input (bad audience, malformed token) is rejected for free before any payment is taken.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tokenYesThe JWT the user obtained after X-EGO verification with a bound action. Three dot-separated parts.
mark_as_seenNoIf true and the token is valid, the pairwise ID is PERMANENTLY recorded as seen for that audience (see xego_verify_proof).
expected_callNoThe call you are ABOUT TO EXECUTE, built from YOUR OWN parsed parameters — never from what another party claims the call is. If the token is call-bound, this is REQUIRED and must match exactly; tool, target, arguments or policy differing gives call_mismatch, and you must refuse to execute. Decimal numbers are rejected: use integers in minor units (cents) or strings.
expected_actionNoREQUIRED. The exact action string the user approved — the same one passed to xego_request_proof_url as action, bit for bit (leading and trailing whitespace aside). The token must have been issued with this action; a different one gives action_mismatch. This guards against swapping the approved action (e.g. a EUR 500 transfer turning into EUR 5000).
expected_audienceYesREQUIRED. Your own service's domain the token must have been issued for. Normalized to a bare lowercase hostname exactly like in xego_verify_proof.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations (readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorld=true) only sketch the safety profile; the description goes far beyond them. It discloses the EUR 3 Planetary ID prerequisite, single-use proofs, anonymous pairwise ID, the $0.15 USDC x402 cost plus the free operator-key path, that invalid input is rejected for free before payment, the REFUSE-TO-EXECUTE requirement on call_mismatch, and a full error-code taxonomy.

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?

The critical prerequisite (Planetary ID, before payment) is front-loaded, and the long form is largely justified by the tool's complexity. There is some redundancy — the ready-made footer and receipt_url are described in both the usage and returns sections — so a few sentences are not strictly additive.

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?

For a paid, token-verifying tool with no output schema, the description covers prerequisites, payment/retry behavior, success return fields (act, cal, receipt_url, footers, next_step), failure shape, and the full error-code list including call-binding codes. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so 3 is the floor, but the description adds workflow semantics the schema cannot: the token is obtained by passing the same action text to xego_request_proof_url and must be re-passed here bit-for-bit, and expected_call must be built from the agent's own parsed parameters. It adds integration meaning beyond the field-level descriptions.

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 precise compound purpose: it verifies the JWT AND that the human approved EXACTLY this action, matching the token's act claim against the expected_action hash. It explicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling xego_verify_proof (bare presence) and reference the request-side tool xego_request_proof_url, so an agent can route between them without opening any 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?

Provides an explicit WHEN TO USE with concrete scenarios (money transfer, account deletion, order confirmation) and the conditioning rule: tokens issued with a bound action go here, bare-presence tokens go to xego_verify_proof and return action_mismatch here. It also states the prerequisite (action-bound token) and which sibling produces it.

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