Free to start. No card required.
AI agents call make_offer to retrieve information from Name Whisper — ENS Intelligence Layer without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though make_offer only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Place an offer (bid) on a registered ENS name on NameWhisper via Seaport 1.6. Returns an unsigned Seaport OrderComponents payload (plus EIP-712 domain/types) that the caller's wallet signs. The buyer offers WETH and receives the name on acceptance. After signing, POST { orderComponents, signature, label, orderType: 'offer', variant: 'nw' } to https://namewhisper.ai/api/orderbook/submit (authenticated) to store the offer in NameWhisper's orderbook — the owner sees it and can accept, counter, or decline. Offers settle in WETH: the maker needs wrapped ETH and an approval for Seaport to spend it (the NameWhisper UI handles this approval automatically at signing time). Fee structure: 1% marketplace fee baked into the order as a Seaport consideration item. NW-native only — offers are not cross-posted to other marketplaces. Tip: Use get_valuation first to understand fair market value before making an offer.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Name Whisper — ENS Intelligence Layer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Name Whisper — ENS Intelligence Layer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for make_offer: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Name Whisper — ENS Intelligence Layer. Nothing to install.
make_offer is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the make_offer rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for make_offer. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
make_offer is provided by the Name Whisper — ENS Intelligence Layer MCP server (https://namewhisper.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
