match_agents
Find AI agents by capability, settlement rail, org, or message protocol, ranked by composite trust and success score. Review each result's trust data and payload schema before transacting.
Instructions
Find agents matching any combination of capability, settlement rail, org, or message protocol, ranked by a composite score (capability match + trust + success rate).
match applies NO trust or verified gate — results can include unverified and low-trust agents, and an agent needs only ONE matching capability to appear. Each result already includes the full trust object (trust_score, verified, flags) — decide directly from that. No need to call verify_agent on a result too; it returns the same data. Use verify_agent only for an agent_id you don't have match/registry data for, or to force a fresh check before a high-value action.
All four filters are optional, but at least one must be given. Agents must match every filter present in the call. capabilities — list of capability names, e.g. ["freight_booking", "customs_clearance"] settlement_rail — "x402", "stripe", "manual" (or a list of any of those to match agents accepting ANY of them), or omit for any org_name — exact match, case-insensitive message_protocol — "a2a", "mcp", or "raw" — restrict to agents whose endpoint speaks this format
Returns a ranked list of trust objects. Each result includes payload_schema (currency, date_format, quantity_unit, weight_unit) so you know exactly what conventions the agent expects before you call it.
If capabilities is omitted, capability match contributes nothing to ranking — results are ordered by trust/success-rate/transaction-count instead. First result is the best match. Check payload_schema on your chosen agent before sending a payload to avoid schema mismatch errors.
routing.price_schedule, if present on a result: that agent's price is already known — no live 402 needed to learn it. To skip the 402 entirely, sign an x402 payment yourself using routing.price_schedule (task + amount), routing.payment_network, routing.payment_pay_to, and routing.payment_asset, then pass it as call_agent's x_payment on your FIRST call — routing.pay_via is the URL that payment settles against. Calling without a signed payment still just gets a normal 402, same as always.
