x402 APIPassing, checked 4 h ago

MCP security: catch a rug pull or tool poisoning between two tools/list results of the same MCP server — the version you approved and the one it serves now. Flags instructions aimed at the model, override and concealment wording, credential and wallet paths, covert actions, hidden Unicode, new URLs and addresses, a dropped readOnlyHint, new command or path parameters and look-alike tool names; verdict unchanged, changed, review or suspicious, with a word diff per changed tool.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.003.
