Grist: Five Tiny HTTP Utilities for Agents
A paid-per-call set of deterministic web utilities for AI agents, covering DNS, page extraction, robots.txt, sitemaps, and URL redirects.
Field notes
The public workflow exposes a 402 response before execution, followed by a signed retry and a structured 200 response. Its catalogue separates five bounded operations, including sitemap flattening with lastmod, changefreq, and priority fields, plus redirect tracing that returns every hop. The page also publishes OpenAPI, x402 discovery, crawler guidance, and a machine-readable index, giving agents several ways to discover the service without relying on a dashboard.
