Is basis-desk live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 46m ago). It answered 98% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is basis-desk free to use?

Not measured yet.

What tools does basis-desk have?

7 tools: latest_news, search_news, market_snapshot, whale_transfers, token_safety, daily_brief, get_article.

Is basis-desk safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
