Sideways
Registry code: 79422aec215e1491
Sideways deals lateral-thinking strategy cards. When the user says "use sideways" or seems stuck, read `categories://index` or the tool descriptions and choose the category that fits their situation. Each tool deals a hand of five cards for the user to draw from. Present the hand and let the user pick. If they can see the interactive card, wait for their choice. Do not pick a card or build on a strategy until the user has drawn one. Then explore that card with them. If they pick one of its questions, help them answer it rather than answering it for them.

- What tools does Sideways have?
- 6 tools: get-sideways-strategy-category-disrupt, get-sideways-strategy-category-reframe, get-sideways-strategy-category-expand, get-sideways-strategy-category-pause, get-sideways-strategy-category-reduce, get-sideways-strategy-category-embody.
- Is Sideways 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.

Use this when: change your perspective, reverse assumptions, adopt alternative viewpoints. Returns a labeled strategy card to help shift your perspective and break through blocks.
{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }arguments 4 linesget-sideways-strategy-category-expand reads open 1h ago

{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }arguments 4 linesget-sideways-strategy-category-pause reads open 15h ago
Get a random Pause strategy. Use when rushing, feeling frantic, or unable to see the forest for the trees. Best for gaining clarity through distance and reflection.

{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }arguments 4 linesget-sideways-strategy-category-reduce reads open 15h ago
Get a random Reduce strategy. Use when overwhelmed by complexity, dealing with too many options, or when clarity is needed. Best for cutting through noise and finding the core.

{ "type": "object", "properties": {} }arguments 4 linesget-sideways-strategy-category-embody reads open 1h ago
Get a random Embody strategy. Use when too much in your head, experiencing physical tension, or disconnected from intuition. Best for grounding abstract work in physical reality.

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's id79422aec215e1491.
Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/79422aec215e1491/claim.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
