Content Type Sniff
by Delx Content Type Sniff in Onchain & crypto
Heuristic content-type sniff from sample bytes or filename. Call when you need this bounded result before handing data to a downstream tool. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. Honest limit: execution uses only caller-supplied data in memory; it does not call a paid upstream, retain input, search the web, read a live RPC, or invoke a media generator. Results are advisory; the caller owns authorization, budgets, and production controls.

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.001.
