WHAT IT DOES

What inet_checksum does on ScorpTech x402 API

AI agents call inet_checksum to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`hex`	string	—
`text`	string	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why inet_checksum is rated Low

Even though inet_checksum only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs inet_checksum safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For inet_checksum, this is the rule to start with:

inet_checksum Allowed

inet_checksum is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "inet_checksum": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every inet_checksum call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about inet_checksum

What does the inet_checksum tool do? +

RFC 1071 internet checksum. Big-endian 16-bit words are added with end-around carry, then inverted. An odd final byte is padded with zero. The RFC example 0001 F203 F4F5 F6F7 is 220d. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/inet-checksum. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does inet_checksum accept? +

inet_checksum accepts 2 parameters: hex, text. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on inet_checksum? +

Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inet_checksum: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.

What risk level is inet_checksum? +

inet_checksum is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit inet_checksum? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the inet_checksum 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.

How do I block inet_checksum completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for inet_checksum. 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.

What MCP server provides inet_checksum? +

inet_checksum is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
