As of 2026-08-15, 402utils.com/v1/token-count on Base held 98.3% uptime across 115 reliability checks over the past 30 days, with only occasional misses. Responses came back slow at 1568 ms average from a single EU vantage point (so this includes network distance to the endpoint) and it has held its advertised price steady at $0.0010. Its x402-trust grade is A (score 80.6 from a solid sample, tracked for 40 days), so it currently looks safe to use. It is no longer listed in the x402 directory.
Count BPE tokens in a text with tiktoken (o200k_base = GPT-4o default, or cl100k_base). An agent can check content fits an LLM context window before paying for an expensive call. Returns token count, char count and encoding. Honest scope: an OpenAI-style estimate — no open-source Claude tokenizer exists (exact Claude counts need the Anthropic API), Gemini differs too. Provided text only; nothing is fetched. Max 1 MB.(Provider-supplied: an unverified claim, not checked by us. The trust grade above is our independent measurement.)
POST /v1/x402-trust or the x402_trust_score MCP tool.Latency is measured from a single EU vantage point; includes network round-trip distance to the endpoint; a geographically distant endpoint reads slower even when its server is fast, so it is only lightly weighted in the score.

- ✓Live probe at decision time:
We re-check the endpoint the moment you ask (timestamped) and compute the score from all scores up until this moment, instead of this cached snapshot that may be up to 24h old. - ✓Confidence band, full component breakdown & structured risk flags:
Exactly why the score is what it is, machine-readable. - ✓On-chain settlement proof:
Real USDC volume & distinct-payer count for the payTo wallet: is anyone actually paying it? - ✓90-day raw history:
Every listing/price/payTo change and probe result (viaPOST /v1/x402-history), up to 90 days back. - ✓The ranked better-scored alternatives:
The resource URLs, scores & prices we don't reveal above (viaPOST /v1/similar), if there are better alternatives available. - ✓Change & liveness alerts:
Get notified on payTo/price changes, spec regressions or downtime (viaPOST /v1/watch-endpoint-30d). Connect up to 10 Discord / Slack webhooks or poll regularly with bearer auth. Increases probe-density to every 5 minutes instead of the usual 30 for the watched endpoint.
... Simply give your agents the tools to do all of that for you, with a simple command
