About ToolVet
ToolVet checks x402 and MCP services and publishes what it finds: uptime, latency, prices and a trust score. It is built and run by one person, under a company registered in Delaware.

Why it exists
I was wiring a paid API into an agent and had a dozen x402 endpoints that all claimed to do the job. Some didn’t answer, one asked for more than its listing said, and nothing told me which of them had been up last week, or whether their tool descriptions were safe to hand to a model. Checking them by hand took an afternoon, and the answers were stale by the next one. ToolVet is that afternoon, run on a schedule and published.
How the numbers are made
- Every listing is checked on a schedule: every 30 minutes for verified, featured and actively used services, every few hours for the rest, and less often for services that keep failing.
- What each check looks at, the score weights and the outage rule are on the methodology page.
- Nobody types in a score: scores come from our checks and public data, and providers can’t edit their own.
- Changes to the formula are dated in the changelog.

Who pays for ToolVet
Customers do. ToolVet earns money from paid searches and recommendations, preflight checks, service reports, owner verification and featured slots. Featured placements are labelled and shown separately; buying one does not change a listing’s score.
Verification is the one purchase that counts toward a score. An owner who proves they run a listing and pays $19.00 gets the 10 “verified owner” points, the same as every other verified owner. No listed provider can pay for any other points. There are no investors.
When the numbers are wrong
Numbers are only useful if they’re correct, so errors are published, not quietly fixed.
On 15 Oct 2026 we checked every number and claim the site publishes against the code that produces it. The audit found 52 problems. Among them: Solana listings showed no price and lost 4 points to a mistyped token address, status pages counted downtime from outside their 30-day window, and uptime of 99.95% to 99.99% showed as 100%. What we audited and what changed.
