Agent Embassy

Agent ID — Issue

agentid_issue

Idempotent

Issue an Agent ID: attestation binding a pubkey to a verified principal — unverifiable are refused. validity_days defaults to standard. Verify: agentid_verify. POST the tool inputs as JSON to paid_url with an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. See https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402 Paid tool — $0.25, USDC on Base or Arbitrum One. Paid URL: https://aemb.pro/v1/agent-id/issue.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`agent_pubkey`	Yes	The agent's public key (hex), the root of the Agent ID
`principal_id`	Yes	ID of the accountable principal on file with the Embassy
`operator_name`	Yes	Public name of the operator running the agent (max 200 chars)
`validity_days`	No	Days until the Agent ID expires; integer 1-730. Defaults to the Embassy standard when omitted
`principal_kind`	Yes	Kind of principal: human or legal_entity
`idempotency_key`	Yes	Idempotency key: 8-128 printable ASCII characters (no spaces), client-generated, one per logical request — a UUID v4 is recommended. Replaying the same key on this tool returns the original receipt — the action is not re-run, and the first request's receipt wins even if you resend different inputs. Published example keys are rejected. Keys are scoped per tool and per payer account: a key never returns another wallet's receipt.
`principal_label`	Yes	Public label for the principal
`agent_key_scheme`	No	Key scheme for agent_pubkey: eip191 or ed25519 (default eip191)
`operator_contact`	Yes	Public contact for the operator (max 320 chars)
`principal_attestation_method`	Yes	How the Embassy verified the principal

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`how`	Yes	How to pay: POST the tool inputs as JSON to paid_url with an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
`tool`	Yes	Tool name, e.g. check_url_custom
`asset`	Yes	Settlement asset
`price`	Yes	Exact price, e.g. "$0.25"
`networks`	Yes	EVM CAIP-2 network ids accepted
`paid_url`	Yes	x402-paid HTTPS URL to POST the tool inputs to
`facilitator`	Yes	x402 facilitator
`payment_required`	Yes	Always true: this MCP tool is a payment pointer; the tool itself is monetized via x402.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior, and the description adds context annotations cannot express: the call is paid ($0.25 USDC on Base or Arbitrum One), requires an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header, and must be invoked as an HTTP POST to paid_url. The refusal rule for unverifiable principals is a real behavioral constraint beyond the structured fields.

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 core semantics are front-loaded in the first sentence, with invocation mechanics and pricing following in logical order. There is mild redundancy at the end — 'Paid tool' and 'Paid URL' restate the payment context already established, plus a docs link — but nothing is confusing.

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 10-parameter paid mutation with full schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description supplies exactly the missing invocation layer: transport (POST JSON to paid_url), auth (PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header), cost/chain, and the eligibility rule. Nothing needed to call it correctly is absent.

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%, so parameter meaning is already carried by the schema, including the idempotency-key semantics. The description only restates the validity_days default ('defaults to standard'), which the schema already spells out, so it adds little beyond the baseline.

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 — 'Issue an Agent ID' — and defines the artifact as 'attestation binding a pubkey to a verified principal', which separates it from renew/revoke/verify siblings. It also adds a scoping rule ('unverifiable are refused') that tells the agent what eligibility means.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It explicitly routes post-issuance checking to 'agentid_verify' and gives the operational precondition (payment via x402 and POSTing to paid_url). It doesn't contrast issuance with agentid_renew or agentid_revoke, so an agent deciding between lifecycle operations gets only the verb cue.

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