Check platform status for GitHub, AWS, Stripe and others before triggering deployments or API-dependent workflows.
What it does
The AgentUtil Context `/v1/platform` endpoint lets AI agents check the operational status of third-party platforms (e.g. GitHub, AWS, Stripe) before initiating deployments, API calls, or other dependent workflows. It is one of several endpoints in the AgentUtil Context service, which provides situational awareness — timezone, holiday, business calendar, and platform status data — so agents can avoid taking actions during outages or unfavorable conditions.
The endpoint accepts a POST request with a JSON body containing a required `platform` field (the platform name to check). It returns the platform name, current status, details object, last-checked timestamp, and a human-readable summary. Response latency is advertised as under 50ms. The service covers multiple well-known platforms, though the exact supported list is not documented.
Pricing is $0.002 per request, paid via the x402 protocol using USDC on the Base chain. A free tier of 10 queries per day per IP is available with no signup required. The OpenAPI spec and agent discovery files (agent-service.json, agent.json) are published at well-known paths for automated agent integration.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Checking if GitHub is operational before triggering a CI/CD deployment
- —Verifying AWS status before launching infrastructure provisioning scripts
- —Confirming Stripe availability before processing a batch of payments
- —Pre-flight checks in autonomous agent workflows that depend on external services
- —Monitoring platform health as part of an automated incident response pipeline
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents that need pre-action safety checks on third-party platform availability
- —Automated deployment pipelines that should abort during upstream outages
- —Workflow orchestrators that depend on multiple external services
Not for
- —Detailed incident history or post-mortem analysis
- —Monitoring proprietary or internal services not in the supported platform list
- —Real-time alerting or webhook-based status subscriptions
Quick start
curl -X POST https://context.agentutil.net/v1/platform \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"platform": "github"}'Example
Request
{
"platform": "github"
}Response
{
"status": "operational",
"details": {},
"summary": "GitHub is fully operational with no reported incidents.",
"platform": "github",
"last_checked": "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z"
}Endpoint
Quality
Full OpenAPI schema with request/response shapes is available, and pricing is clearly documented. However, the x402 probe did not return a 402 challenge (returned 400 instead), so liveness via x402 is unconfirmed. No dedicated docs page exists, the supported platform list is undocumented, and the example response is inferred from the schema rather than observed.
Warnings
- —x402 probe returned HTTP 400 on POST instead of expected 402 challenge — endpoint liveness via x402 is unconfirmed
- —No /docs, /api, /pricing, or /README pages exist (all return 404)
- —Supported platform list is not documented; only GitHub, AWS, and Stripe are mentioned as examples
- —Example response is inferred from the OpenAPI schema, not from an actual API call
