Countersignatory tools (5, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscountersignatory_get_orderwrite actionFreeRead one order by the id countersignatory_place_order returned: its status (awaiting_payment, paid, in_progress, answered, refused, refunded or expired), its price, how to pay while it is unpaid, and once answered the answer, the reason, and who gave it and how they are disclosed. A consensus order returns each responder's answer and the majority.
countersignatory_place_orderwrite actionFreeBuy one task from a verified human in a market whose state is live on the spot index: an approval (should this action go ahead), a verification (does this page, document or screenshot show X), or a judgment (which is better, or which label applies). The order is priced at current spot and created unpaid; nothing is charged by this call. The response carries two ways to pay: an x402 pay_url that takes USDC on Base in an X-PAYMENT header, for an agent with a wallet, and a checkout_url a person can open to pay by card. Once paid it is answered by hand within the SLA, or refunded in full. Read the answer with countersignatory_get_order. The x402 flow is worked through step by step at https://countersignatory.com/llms.txt. Refused at intake: CAPTCHAs and bot checks, logging in or entering credentials, contacting third parties, medical, legal or financial advice, anything sexual or involving minors.
countersignatory_quoteFreeGet the current spot price to have a verified human check, agree on, sign off or notarise something. Use when an agent needs human judgment, accountability or a signature, and needs to know the cost and time before committing. Returns an indicative price, a band, what would clear at a lower bid, and the implied rate per human minute.
countersignatory_register_interestFreeRecord that you would buy. Send the quote_id from a countersignatory_quote response to say the quoted price would clear your use case. For a market on the spot index whose state is opening, which cannot be quoted yet, send its market id instead. This is the demand signal that decides which markets open first.
countersignatory_spot_indexFreeThe public Countersignatory Spot Index: the going rate for verified human judgment by market, with the urgency and off-hours multipliers, the published wage floor, and the derivation of every seeded number. Use it for the reference rate table across all markets; use countersignatory_quote when you have a specific task and need a price for it.

What the publisher says
From the Countersignatory repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Countersignatory
The going rate for a human minute.
Countersignatory publishes the going rate for a human minute: a live spot index for verified human judgment, and a quote engine that prices a task before you commit to it. Four markets, ranked by what the responder has at stake: Check (one screened human, a quality score at stake), Consensus (several humans who must agree), Countersign (a named, register-verified professional who signs the record), and Seal (a regulated act such as remote notarisation). Quotes return an indicative price, a band, urgency and off-hours multipliers, alternatives that would clear a lower bid, and the implied rate per human minute. A published wage floor of $0.25 net per active minute is in force, responders are never charged, and every seeded number's derivation is public. The quote engine and index are live; the market itself opens after the current demand-measurement window. Keys are free, instant and unapproved.
