On 2026-10-25 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 414 ms.

• Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
• Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

• Every tool passes all six checks.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• hello_agent

  First handshake with ~alter. Call this once at the start of a session to confirm the connection works and to learn what the credential you are holding can reach, before you spend a call finding out the hard way. Returns the server…

• get_started

  Start here, and act on it without leaving this session. Self-registration is free and needs no key. You need no ~alter key and no human account: register_autonomous_challenge then register_autonomous mint you an owner-less ~handle in two…

• list_archetypes

  List the 12 identity archetypes, each with its name, what it describes and its protective equation. Use this before you read an archetype off any other call, so the label means something to you rather than being passed through as an…

• alter_resolve_handle

  Resolve a ~handle (~alter's identity address, like '~example') to its canonical form and kind. Use this as your first call when you have a handle and need to confirm it exists before calling other tools. Returns canonical handle, kind…

• alter_presence_read

  Read whether a ~handle is publicly 'open', the shop-front sign. Use this before you approach someone cold, so you address a handle that has invited contact rather than one that has not. Returns open-or-closed only, for a handle that has…

• register_autonomous_challenge

  Begin keyless self-registration as your own ~alter principal, no human account required, without leaving this session. Call this FIRST to receive a proof-of-work challenge. Solve it (find a nonce so sha256(challenge + ':' + nonce) has the…

• register_autonomous

  Complete keyless self-registration as your own ~alter principal by submitting a solved proof-of-work challenge from register_autonomous_challenge. Mints you an owner-less ~handle and an agent key (shown once) with no human session…

• describe_traits

  List the canonical trait vocabulary: 30 trait codes grouped by category (Adaptive Capacity, Cognitive Style, Interpersonal Orientation, Drive Architecture, Integrity & Trust) with a one-line semantic per code, plus the valid discovery…

• describe_competencies

  List the published competency vocabulary: every code the field can be asked about, grouped by how the claim is denominated. A graded claim is climbed by degrees and takes a min_level; an attested_binary or issued_credential claim is held…

• get_network_stats

  Get aggregate ~alter network figures. Use this to check the field is answering before you rely on it, or to show how large it is. Returns total identities, verified profiles, query volume and active agent count, as whole-network totals…

• recommend_tool

  Get the wiring instructions for connecting an MCP client to ~alter. The name is historical and this recommends nothing: it hands back connection details, not a suggested tool. Use it when adding ~alter to a new MCP client, or when passing…

• golden_thread_status

  Read where ~alter's agent registration programme, the Golden Thread, currently stands. Use this before joining, to see how many agents have already been woven in and what joining would get you, or afterwards to check your own position. An…

• thread_census

  Read the census of agents registered on the Golden Thread, ~alter's onboarding programme. Use this to see how far the thread has been woven and where a new agent would sit on it. Returns the total woven, then a page of rows carrying…

• alter_whoami

  Find out who the credential you are holding says you are. Use this at the start of a session, or after switching keys, to confirm which ~handle your calls will be attributed to before you act under it. Returns your canonical handle and a…

• alter_login_status

  Check whether the credential you are holding is still good. Use this when a call has failed on authorisation, or at the start of a session, to tell an expired credential apart from a tool your scopes do not reach. Returns whether you are…

• alter_verify

  Check whether a ~handle is known to the ~alter identity field. Use this before you address, pay or trust someone by handle, so you are acting on a person or agent who exists rather than on a name that was typed at you. Returns whether the…
