PayCrow — Check Trust Before You Pay

Always verify an agent's reputation before sending funds. This skill uses the PayCrow Trust API to score any Ethereum address across 4 on-chain sources.

Check Trust Score

Before any payment, check the counterparty:

curl -s "https://paycrow-app.fly.dev/trust/ADDRESS" | jq '{score: .preview.score, confidence: .preview.confidence, recommendation: .preview.recommendation}'

Replace ADDRESS with the 0x address you're about to pay. No API key needed.

Reading the Result

score 75+ with high confidence → safe to proceed
score 45-74 → proceed with caution, smaller amounts
score below 45 → risky, avoid or use very small amounts
recommendation: "caution" → DO NOT PAY — high dispute history
recommendation: "insufficient_data" → unknown agent, proceed carefully

Decision Flow

When asked to pay someone or call a paid API:

Always check trust first — query the score before sending any funds
75+, high confidence → proceed normally
45-74 → warn the user, suggest smaller amount
Below 45 → strongly recommend against paying
"caution" flag → refuse payment, tell the user this agent is flagged for disputes
"insufficient_data" → warn that this agent has no on-chain history

What the Trust Score Measures

PayCrow aggregates 4 on-chain sources (24K+ agents scored):

Source	Weight	What It Measures
PayCrow Reputation	40%	Escrow completion rate, dispute history
ERC-8004 Identity	25%	Cross-ecosystem agent identity and feedback
Moltbook Social	15%	Karma, account age, social standing
Base Chain Activity	20%	Wallet age, transaction count, USDC volume

Escrow Protection (Advanced)

If you have the PayCrow MCP server installed (separately configured by your developer), you also have access to safe_pay — which combines trust check + USDC escrow + auto-verification in a single tool call. The escrow holds funds in a smart contract on Base until delivery is confirmed, with real dispute resolution if something goes wrong.
