Why it's listed

OpenRouter lists it, with prices from the providers that serve it.

Being indexed says nothing about quality, and nobody can pay for it. Is this yours? Ask for a review.

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
