  Buy credits for the edge library and AI research. Default $5 minimum. Free — no credits consumed to call this. TWO PAYMENT METHODS: card (default): Returns a Stripe Checkout link for your user to click and pay. After payment, call check_balance to confirm credits were added. crypto: USDC on Base. Fully autonomous — no human needed. Three steps: 1. buy_credits(payment_method='crypto') → returns deposit address + payment_intent_id 2. Send USDC to the deposit address (use your wallet tool) 3. buy_credits(payment_intent_id='pi_...') → confirms payment, credits added instantly If you have wallet access, this is the fastest path — fully machine-to-machine.

• web_research

  DialogBrain

  Answer a research question from live web sources in one call — returns a synthesized answer with numbered [N] citation markers and a citations array of {url, title, index}. Supports recency and domain filters. Use for questions needing current, sourced information (news about a company, market state, comparisons). For raw search result links use web.search; mode='deep' runs minutes-long exhaustive research — only when explicitly requested.

• picsart_enhance

  Picsart GenAI

  Upscales and enhances an image — sharpens edges, denoises, and raises resolution by an optional scale factor. Auto-picks the newest enabled Picsart upscale / enhance model unless overridden via the `model` param. Use this when the user asks to "upscale", "enhance", "make it higher resolution", "sharpen", "clean up this photo", or "make this 4k". Do NOT use this to remove the background (use `picsart_remove_bg`), replace the background (use `picsart_change_bg`), convert raster to SVG (use `picsart_vectorize`), or generate a new image (use `picsart_generate`). Required input: `image` — a publicly-accessible URL, not a local file path. Optional: `model` to pin a specific enhance model, `scaleFactor` (e.g. 2 or 4) for upscale ratio. Example: `{ image: "https://example.com/photo.jpg", scaleFactor: 4 }`. Returns `{ assets, id, model, created_at, summary, why_relevant, url, results: [{ url, metadata? }], drive? }` plus a `resource_link` block per result URL. `id` is the SDK's generation handle; `metadata` may include model-specific tags. Spends credits. Requires Authorization: Bearer <picsart_token>.

• contrast_scan

  ContrastAPI

  Active website security scan: runs the ContrastScan C engine (11 modules — HTTP security headers, SSL/TLS, DNS, redirect chain, information disclosure, cookie flags, DNSSEC, HTTP methods, CORS, HTML hygiene, deep CSP analysis) against the live site and enriches the raw result with severity-ranked vulnerability findings and a letter grade. Use for a hands-on misconfiguration scan; use audit_domain for passive recon (DNS/WHOIS/SSL/threat intel) and scan_headers for headers only. Active outbound fetch — a per-target eTLD+1 throttle (60 req/min) applies. Free: 30/hr (costs 6 tokens), Pro: 500/hr. Returns {domain, resolved_ip, total_score, max_score, grade, findings, findings_count, headers, ssl, dns, redirect, disclosure, cookies, dnssec, methods, cors, html, csp_analysis, enterprise, summary, next_calls}.

• search

  Melvea Local Honey Discovery

  Search the Melvea local honey directory by free-text query and return matching producers as a list of results (id, title, url). Designed for ChatGPT Deep Research and Company Knowledge. Use for any local-honey discovery query that names or implies a place; the tool parses place and varietal from the query. Returns an honest empty list when nothing matches — never fabricate. Pair with fetch to retrieve full producer detail.

• get_full_text

  Pubmed

  Fetch the FULL TEXT of a biomedical paper from PubMed Central (the open-access subset) by PubMed ID. PREFER OVER get_abstract when you need methods/results/discussion, not just the abstract — "read the full paper", "what methods did <PMID> use", "extract details from the paper". Resolves the PMID to its PMC id and returns the article body text (capped ~40k chars). Only open-access articles are in PMC — returns has_full_text:false (use get_abstract) otherwise.

• restore_face

  Image Tools - Background Removal, Upscaling & Face Restoration

  Restore and enhance faces in an image using GFPGAN. Detects all faces via RetinaFace, restores quality (fixes blur, noise, compression artifacts), and pastes them back. Optionally enhances the background using Real-ESRGAN. GPU-accelerated, sub-3s latency. Args: image_base64: Base64-encoded image data containing faces (PNG, JPEG, WebP). upscale: Output upscale factor -- 1 to 4 (default: 2). enhance_background: Whether to enhance background with Real-ESRGAN (default: true). Returns: dict with keys: - image (str): Base64-encoded restored image - format (str): Output image format - width (int): Output width - height (int): Output height - upscale (int): Scale factor applied - processing_time_ms (float): Processing time in milliseconds

• archive_provenance

  Colour Memory

  Explains the provenance of a named archive colour: documented fact vs computational derivation vs cultural interpretation, with confidence and citation format. This is one component of colour_passport, but also a standalone research tool for deep provenance work (museum, documentary, editorial). Use colour_passport for a general profile; call this directly for research workflows needing full source-chain detail.

• verify_references

  OpenWarrant — Document Verification Suite

  Fact-check a document's REFERENCES and CLAIMS — built for AI-generated reports whose citations must be checked before they're trusted. USE THIS WHEN someone shares a report, article, whitepaper, or deep-research export (or a link to one) and asks: is this accurate / legit? are these citations real? fact-check this. did the AI make this up? Also use it proactively before relying on any AI-written document. Provide the document ONE way: `url` (a public http(s) link to a PDF or web page — fetched server-side, the cheapest call: no need to download or encode anything), `text` (pasted markdown/plain prose), OR `bytes_b64` (a base64 PDF; URLs are read from the PDF's link annotations, so they're exact). Default (fast): provenance (is it a ChatGPT deep-research export?), citation resolution (live / archived / dead, papers matched against arXiv/Crossref to catch 'real ID, wrong paper'), and internal MATH (recompute the doc's own arithmetic). Set `deep=true` to also fetch each cited source and judge whether it SUPPORTS or CONTRADICTS the claim (slower, ~a minute). Returns a trust summary, per-item tables, and a shareable `permalink` to the public fact-check record. HONEST BOUNDARY: this reports verification COVERAGE, not truth — 'supported' means evidence-backed (not necessarily true) and 'unsupported' means no evidence found (not necessarily false). It tells a reviewer WHERE to look; it does not bless the document, and it never affects the fraud risk band.
