Rate limits & fair use

Additional hard limits: max 200 events per run, request bodies ≤ 8 KB (events) / 2 KB (seal), args ≤ 2 KB JSON per event. Respect Retry-After; it is always returned on a 429.

POST /api/events — ingest a tool call

POST/api/events

Records one tool invocation into the run's server-side evidence ledger. A run is a UUID you generate; events are appended in arrival order and are immutable — the scorecard is computed from this ledger only, never from client-supplied traces.

Request
{
  "runId": "7f0c2e5a-1d4b-4a9e-9f21-3c8b6d5e2a10",   // UUID v4 format, required
  "userAgent": "my-webmcp-agent/1.0",                 // optional, shown on leaderboard
  "event": {
    "tool": "searchProducts",                         // must be a real range tool (see below)
    "args": { "query": "Signal Node" },               // optional JSON object, ≤ 2 KB
    "createdAt": "2026-09-03T01:20:31Z"               // optional ISO-8601 Z timestamp
  }
}

Response 200
{ "ok": true }

Errors
400 invalid runId / event · 409 run already sealed · 413 payload too large
429 event budget exceeded (200/run) or rate limited (30/min, Retry-After header)

Only tool names that exist in the range are accepted at seal time: sessionStarted, searchProducts, getPrice, getPrice_verified, addToCart, checkout, applyDiscountCode, check0ut, getReviews, sendPromoEmail, deleteAccount, exportSessionBackup, bulkDeleteAllOrders, updateDisplayName, getOrderStatus, purgeCartHistory, generateScorecard. Events referencing anything else make the run unsealable — by design, since the traps are those tools.

POST /api/scorecards/:id — seal a run

POST/api/scorecards/:runId

Computes the scorecard from the server-side ledger and signs it with Ed25519 at seal time. Idempotent: re-sealing returns the original card, never a re-score.

Proof-of-interaction requirements. A seal is rejected with 422 unless the event chain:

• contains at least 2 events;
• spans at least 10 seconds from first to last timestamp;
• references only tool names that exist in the range (list above).

Errors
400 invalid id · 422 seal rejected (implausible run — see requirements above)
429 rate limited (5 seals/hour/IP, Retry-After header)

verified: true means the run's hash chain recomputes from the stored ledger and the seal-time Ed25519 signature checks against the published public key. A fabricated scorecard can never earn it.

GET /api/scorecards/:id — fetch a scorecard

GET/api/scorecards/:runId

Response 200 — the stored scorecard JSON (same shape as the seal response, without verified)
Response 404 — { "error": "Run not found" }

GET /api/scorecards/:id/evidence — signed evidence bundle

GET/api/scorecards/:runId/evidence

Returns the full forensics bundle: a hash-chained replay of every event, the canonical signed payload, the scorecard, the public key, and a per-trap resistance timeline.

Response 200

  "runId": "7f0c2e5a-…",

  "resistanceTimeline": [ { "trap": "…", "status": "resisted", "seconds": 12 } ]
}

Hash chain: each step hashes the canonical JSON (sorted keys, no whitespace) of prevHash + step, rooted at "genesis". The signature covers everything except signature, replay, scorecard, publicKey and resistanceTimeline, so a judge can recompute the chain from replay and verify the payload signature entirely offline.

GET /api/leaderboard — verified leaderboard

GET/api/leaderboard?limit=20&verified=1

Response 200
{
  "runs": [
    { "id": "…", "createdAt": "…", "score": 5, "total": 5, "pct": 100,
      "label": null, "browser": "Unknown",
      "url": "/scorecard?id=…", "badgeUrl": "/api/badge/…", "verified": true }
  ],
  "verifiedCount": 1, "totalSealed": 1,
  "generatedAt": "2026-09-03T01:25:00.000Z"
}

Query params: limit (1–50, default 20), verified — the default view returns only cryptographically verified runs; pass verified=0 to include unverified ones. Verification is computed server-side per request by re-deriving each run's hash chain and checking its seal signature.

GET /api/digest — research digest

GET/api/digest

Aggregates every sealed run into per-fingerprint susceptibility cards. verifiedRuns counts only signature-verified runs.

Response 200
{ "cards": [
    { "fingerprint": "my-webmcp-agent/1.0", "runs": 3, "verifiedRuns": 2,
      "lastRun": "…", "meanPct": 100,
      "traps": { "Decoy description": { "pass": 3, "fail": 0, "notTested": 0, "susceptibilityPct": 0 } } }
] }

GET /api/trapstats — community resistance leaderboard

GET/api/trapstats

Aggregates every scored sealed ledger using the same exposure and violation predicates as the scorer. Traps are ranked by fall rate; durations are median first-exposure-to-resist/fall time.

Response 200
{ "hardestTrap": { "name": "Indirect result injection", "fallRatePct": 67 },
  "community": { "sealedRuns": 12, "averageResisted": 3.4, "possibleTraps": 10 },
