Research direction

Review AgentKit's conventions alongside the AlphaPipeline repository, live MCP endpoint, and machine-readable spec. Determine whether the project should be documented as a community provider or integrated as a TypeScript or Python action provider, then confirm the preferred scope with maintainers. Done means the chosen integration path is agreed and its documentation or contribution is complete.

Description

What we built

AlphaPipeline — a live, pay-per-call x402 data API for AI trading agents on Base mainnet, settling real USDC via the official x402 SDK + Coinbase CDP Facilitator (not a testnet/demo).

16 actions total, $0.005–$0.03 USDC per call, 2 kept free as onboarding tools:

Action Price What it does
security.token_risk $0.02 GoPlus/Honeypot.is-backed contract security audit (honeypot, buy/sell tax, mintability, ownership renouncement, owner concentration, etc.)
security.contract_health_audit $0.02 LP lock/burn audit — is liquidity locked, burned, or held by a single wallet
security.token_diagnostic $0.03 Bundles the two checks above into one call
dex.liquidity_slippage $0.02 GeckoTerminal-backed pool liquidity + estimated slippage at $1k/$5k/$10k trade sizes
derivatives.whale_position_audit $0.02 Hyperliquid wallet position/leverage/liquidation-price audit
derivatives.funding_rate $0.01 Bybit/Binance perpetual funding rate, mark/index price, open interest
derivatives.funding_apr_matrix $0.01 Funding rate annualized into APR + carry-trade breakeven
arb.spread_matrix $0.02 CEX vs DEX spread calculator with gas-adjusted profitability flag
prediction.neg_risk_arbitrage $0.03 Polymarket neg-risk basket arbitrage detector with executable liquidity size
prediction.exit_capacity_audit $0.02 Polymarket order-book fill simulation for a given position size
prediction.hip4_snapshot $0.01 Full probability snapshot of Hyperliquid's HIP-4 prediction markets (crypto, sports, macro)
calendar.macro_dday $0.01 Countdown to next FOMC/CPI/NFP
tools.ai_markdown $0.005 Ad-free URL → Markdown conversion for agent context windows
events.hip4_alerts (subscribe) $0.02 Webhook push when a HIP-4 market's probability jumps or a new market appears
market.kimchi_alert Free Korea vs. global price premium alerts (onboarding)
unlocks.dump_risk Free On-chain (Sablier) token unlock/vesting dump-risk scoring (onboarding)

How it works with AgentKit

Each action is exposed both as a plain REST endpoint (for any HTTP client) and as an MCP tool over the remote endpoint above, gated by the x402 payment middleware — an agent's x402-aware HTTP client (or AgentKit's own x402 support) pays per call in USDC on Base and gets the response in the same round trip. No API keys, no signup, no subscription.

Why contribute to the AgentKit ecosystem?

Trading/DeFi agents built with AgentKit currently have to stitch together several free-tier APIs (rate-limited, often stale) to get pre-trade security and market-structure signals. AlphaPipeline packages the ones we found ourselves needing most while building our own trading bot — contract risk, LP lock status, slippage/depth, funding rates, prediction-market arbitrage — behind a single, uniform, pay-as-you-go interface with no account/quota management.

Proposal

Open to whichever fits AgentKit's conventions best:

  1. List AlphaPipeline as a community action provider / example in the docs.
  2. We submit a PR adding an AlphaPipelineActionProvider (TypeScript and/or Python) if that's the preferred integration path.
  3. Simply link it from an ecosystem/community page if a full action-provider PR isn't the right fit.

Happy to adjust format, scope, or wording to match maintainer preference.
