Is forge live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is forge free to use?

Not measured yet.

What tools does forge have?

8 tools: forge_profit_margin, forge_ebitda, forge_business_valuation_estimate, forge_break_even, forge_freelance_rate, forge_acquisition_affordability, forge_competitor_research_method, forge_shopify_store_audit.

Is forge 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.

• forge_business_valuation_estimate reads unknown never probed

  Estimate what a small business is worth using Normalised EBITDA and typical small-business earnings multiples. Answers "how much is my business worth?" from real figures — revenue, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, owner pay and a fair-market salary for the owner role — rather than a generic rule of thumb. Produces an indicative enterprise value range, not a professional appraisal.
