Verify merchant legitimacy before purchase
The agent determines if a store is trustworthy by analyzing public signals like domain age, SSL validity, and DNS blocklist status, preventing fraud by flagging suspicious or new domains.
How it works
The agent receives a store domain from the user. It calls the check_merchant tool to retrieve 14 public facts about the store, including flags for issues like 'age_under_3_months' and signals from sources like DNS blocklists and SSL certificates. The agent reviews the 'flags' and 'signals' arrays to identify any red flags. It checks the 'freshness' field to ensure data is current. If significant risks are found (e.g., very new domain, blacklisted DNS), the agent warns the user or blocks the transaction. It does not make final fraud decisions but provides clear facts for the user or app to decide.
