Tools

• ask_business

  Sends your person's question to a business's own inbox, as a message. Only for a business in this directory with its own inbox (its listing names one), and only when your person asked you to contact it. The business can answer your person by email, at the address they agreed to give it; never a phone number. This network carries the request and keeps only a record that it was delivered. The answer is the inbox's: the business's own words, and an access token to read the request's state.

  shallow
• check_business

  Checks what an AI agent can do with a business's website: message, book, order, sign up, pay, change or cancel. Waits up to 25 seconds; if the read isn't finished, returns what it found so far, and you call it again for the score. A result read in the last hour is answered as it is; after a business changes its site, set fresh to true to read it again (allowed a few minutes after the last read). A done result also carries door_history: what this network's own reads found of the site's doors, kept for good: when each was seen answering and on how many days, and for a door read every day (a member's, a claimed listing's), from 14 days checked, the share of days every check answered, as a count and a share ("answered 41 of 42 days (97%)"): a day with a failed or a refused check counts as a missed day, and a refused one is shown as refused. Use it when a person asks how agent-ready a business is, or wants to improve their own. To find businesses, use search_businesses instead. A setup link in the answer is for the owner to fill in themselves. Capability ids are defined at https://surfingdog.ai/spec/capabilities/.

  shallow
• check_dns

  Checks whether AI agents are led from the business's website and DNS to its agent inbox, and whether the inbox answers at inbox.<domain> (or the host given): for a business's own AI. Reads the inbox's DNS record (against target, when given) and manifest, the site's robots.txt (no AI assistant kept out), and five ways the domain can point to the inbox: four on the website (/.well-known/agent-inbox.json, a line in llms.txt, <link rel="agent-inbox">, a schema.org potentialAction) and a _agent-inbox TXT record. ready needs one of the four on the website. Every item not in place comes with the exact record, line or file to add (fix_lines: the text to paste). Reads the site as a browser would, and nothing it asked crawlers not to read; what it read is kept for a minute.

  shallow
• get_business

  One business's full listing, by its domain: its address (a town and country for one this network found), the week's opening hours and closures, its doors and what each takes, its services, its standing in words, a member's track record (promises kept, broken and still open, and when, once enough have closed; self_reported when it rests on the business's own word, with no score and no count of customers), and how many of its promises closed with each outcome; for one that is not a member, every fact with its source and date; and its doors' history from this network's own reads: when each was first and last seen answering, and on how many days, and for a door read every day (a member's, a claimed listing's), from 14 days checked, the share of days every check answered, as a count and a share ("answered 41 of 42 days (97%)"): a day with a failed or a refused check counts as a missed day, and a refused one is shown as refused. This server takes no orders or payments; the listing names the business's own doors, and request_booking can ask its inbox for a time. Its agentic score, if checked, is at https://surfingdog.ai/b/<domain>. Capability ids are defined at https://surfingdog.ai/spec/capabilities/.

  shallow
• get_census

  Monthly counts of what AI agents can do at the websites this network checked: how many an agent can message, book, order from or pay, through which doors, by country, kind of business (group), website platform, where the sites came from (source) or city. Counts only; no business is named. Without edition, the latest published one; without scope, the whole; with a scope and no key, each key's headline counts; with a key, all of its counts. Open data under CC BY 4.0: credit "Surfing Dog census, surfingdog.ai, CC BY 4.0", and "© Overture Maps Foundation" with city counts. Capability ids are defined at https://surfingdog.ai/spec/capabilities/.

  shallow
• list_attributes

  The attributes a search may ask for (delivery, walk_ins, wifi…), each with its labels, and the payments accepts takes. Pass keys as attributes to search_businesses, and payments as accepts.

  shallow
• list_categories

  The categories list: every slug with its English and Portuguese labels and its kind (local_and_retail, or software_and_ai for software, API and AI companies, kept apart). Pass a slug as category to search_businesses.

  shallow
• register_business

  For a business's own AI: put the business in this directory with its doors (MCP, A2A, OpenAPI, an API, UCP, ACP, a platform's door) and its facts: name, what it is (a category of list_categories or a place category, and one line), where (a storefront, a service area, or online with the countries it ships to), its languages, and agree. One call when its proof is already in place; otherwise the answer gives a challenge to put on its domain (a well-known file, its inbox manifest, a DNS record), a key's signature, or a code sent to an address at its domain, and the next call proves it. The answer names every part not taken and why, its readiness level, and what the next level takes. Doors count once this network's crawler has checked them; a door on another host counts only when the site leads to it or its own document names the business's domain. Mail, phone, messaging, forms and web pages are never doors. Every kind of business is listed except adult services, gambling, weapons, tobacco, cannabis and vaping, payday loans and bail bonds. agree accepts the listing terms (/bot#terms). Being listed is free, and nothing about the order can be bought.

  shallow
• report_door

  Records how a business's door went (its inbox, MCP, A2A or API) when you used one: it answered (ok), refused (slot_taken, out_of_stock…), the request was your own fault (invalid), it failed (could not connect, a server or tool error), or it needs a person (info); up to 100 uses in one call. A report is private to the business and may make this network check a door that agents say is down (at most twice a day per door, for the doors it reads itself); it changes nothing public by itself, and carries no person and nothing that was said.

  shallow
• request_booking

  Without start: the business's free times for one of its services, read from its own inbox; nothing is sent. With start: asks the business's own inbox to book that time for your person. A priced service first answers with its terms (confirm): show them to your person, and send terms_sha only after their yes. Only for a business in this directory with its own inbox (its listing names one), and only when your person asked you to contact it. The business can answer your person by email, at the address they agreed to give it; never a phone number. This network carries the request and keeps only a record that it was delivered.

  shallow
• request_quote

  Asks a business for a price, in its own inbox, for something your person describes. Only for a business in this directory with its own inbox (its listing names one), and only when your person asked you to contact it. The business can answer your person by email, at the address they agreed to give it; never a phone number. This network carries the request and keeps only a record that it was delivered. The answer is the inbox's: the business's own words, and an access token to read the request and its quote.

  shallow
• search_businesses

  Find businesses in the directory by what they do (query, category: a group or a place category), where (near, country), the language they speak, whether they are open now, their attributes (list_attributes), price band, what their doors take and how they are paid (accepts: kinds, and ways to pay such as card, apple_pay, paypal or x402; each result's accepts.pay_with says whether the business declared each or it was only seen, on its site or in its shop platform's standard profile, and where), whether a door answers asks or quotes (requestable), the type of door, their readiness level, whether they have an inbox, and whether they are members, registered or found. Results come in the directory's published order, which nobody can pay to change; every filter only leaves businesses out. This server takes no orders or payments and books nothing itself: request_booking asks a business's own inbox for a time, and the business confirms it there. Each result lists the business's own doors. A business this network found on its own website is marked as found, with the date it was checked. Software, API and AI companies (category software-ai) are kept apart: they come only when category names that group or one of its categories, query names their kind, or every word of query is in one's name. Pages of up to 20; pass next_cursor as cursor for more.

  shallow
• start_inbox

  For a business's own AI: the link where the business's owner sets up their own agent inbox, hosted by Surfing Dog, at inbox.<domain>. Give the owner the link; they check the details and type their own email there. This tool never signs anyone up and takes no email. It says so when the business already runs an inbox, or when one cannot be hosted for the domain (an address at a hosting platform, where no DNS record can be added). The open-source inbox, to run on the business's own servers instead, is always named. After the owner adds the DNS record, check_dns says whether agents can reach the inbox.

  shallow
• update_business

  For a business's own AI: correct its listing (set any field register_business takes), add or remove doors, turn the listing off or on, or hide its agentic score result (score_page), with its claim_token or a proof as register_business asks. opt_out stops this network listing the site (list), reading it (crawl), or both (all). With no proof it removes only a listing nobody claimed; a claimed or registered listing is taken out only with its claim_token or a proof as strong as its claim.
