_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is TechSnif live?
Partly — its last checks failed now and then (checked 2h ago). It answered 0% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is TechSnif free to use?
Not measured yet.
What tools does TechSnif have?
13 tools: get_changes, list_entities, get_articles, get_top_stories, get_trending_stories, get_story, search_stories, get_tech_events, ….
Is TechSnif 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.

  • get_changes unknown never probed

    Get story cluster changes since a timestamp: newly appeared clusters and updates to existing ones, each with a change type, a change time, and a story summary. Poll this to stay in sync with the TechSnif feed without refetching everything; pass the returned nextCursor as the next "since" value.

  • list_entities unknown never probed

    List the companies, people, and products TechSnif tracks across story clusters, with story counts. Only entities linked to at least one story are returned, most-covered first. Pass a returned slug as the entity param of get_top_stories to pull every story about that entity.

  • get_top_stories unknown never probed

    Get tech story clusters from across the web. Each story aggregates coverage from multiple outlets (TechCrunch, The Verge, NYT, TechSnif, etc.) and includes links to social discussion (tweets, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts). Sort by rank (prominence) or newest (most recently seen). Optionally filter by headline tier (1=standard, 2=major, 3=top story), publisher name, discussion platform, topic, or a "since" timestamp, and paginate with offset. Use get_story when you need full details or article body text.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

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.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

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.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. 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.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id e371df474463f8cd.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/e371df474463f8cd/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/e371df474463f8cd/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/e371df474463f8cd?ref=badge)

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.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

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.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
