# Zorqelio > Data reliability gateway for AI agents and API workflows. Zorqelio provides private, versioned JSON Schema contracts, deterministic ALLOW/BLOCK validation, and authenticated push-based freshness monitoring. ## Key facts - Website: https://zorqelio.xyz/ - MCP endpoint: https://zorqelio.xyz/mcp - Documentation: https://zorqelio.xyz/docs - Pricing and usage limits: https://zorqelio.xyz/pricing/ - Interactive playground: https://zorqelio.xyz/playground/ - Customer dashboard: https://zorqelio.xyz/dashboard/ - Pricing: Starter at $9 USD/month through PayPal when configured; paid x402 requests cost $0.01 USDC on Base. No permanent free workspace plan. Public playground is capped at 20 evaluations per network per UTC day. - Integration: stateless MCP over HTTP JSON request/response mode. - Validation: customers submit JSON; valid data returns ALLOW and invalid data returns BLOCK with evidence. - Monitoring: customers push data to authenticated endpoints; freshness sweeps run every five minutes. - Privacy: submitted payloads are validated in memory and raw request bodies are not stored by the validation operation. - Limits: Starter supports up to 5 contracts and 3 monitors. ## Product pages - AI agent data reliability: https://zorqelio.xyz/use-cases/ai-agents/ - API integration monitoring: https://zorqelio.xyz/use-cases/api-integrations/ - Versioned data contracts: https://zorqelio.xyz/use-cases/data-contracts/ - Product FAQs: https://zorqelio.xyz/faq/ ## Important limitations Zorqelio supports authenticated push monitors and scheduled monitors for configured public HTTPS JSON endpoints; scheduled checks cannot access private or internal network endpoints. Signed webhook endpoints are supported for configured events. Optional email notifications require a configured sender domain/provider and a verified recipient address. Browser alerts work while the private dashboard is open and after browser permission is granted. SMS and Slack integrations are not currently included. Zorqelio is a validation and freshness layer, not an AI model, agent runtime, or automatic data repair service. ## Paid AI-agent endpoints - POST https://zorqelio.xyz/api/x402/v1/validate - POST https://zorqelio.xyz/api/x402/v1/freshness - Price: $0.01 native USDC per request on Base (eip155:8453). - Send a request to receive HTTP 402 payment requirements; use an x402-compatible client to authorize payment and retry. - Starter subscriptions require verified PayPal payment. x402 payments do not upgrade workspace quotas. ## Recurring agent automation - POST https://zorqelio.xyz/api/x402/v1/readiness: $0.01 USDC on Base per decision for 1–10 private workspace monitors. - Requires workspace Bearer authentication AND x402 payment. Invalid access or policy is rejected before payment. - Input: monitorIds; optional maxAgeSeconds (default 300), minObservations (default 3), maxFailureRate (default 0). - Output: ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK, isAllowed, validUntil, per-monitor evidence and recommendedAction. Only ALLOW permits automatic progress. - JavaScript SDK waitForReadiness supports explicit spending, time and check limits. Never automatically retry an ambiguous payment failure. - Configure scheduled or push monitors first; decisions use retained evidence and do not fetch upstream URLs on demand. - Guide: https://zorqelio.xyz/docs/#agent-readiness ## Starter subscription - $9 USD/month via PayPal when configured. No permanent free background monitoring. - 5 contracts, 3 monitors; 10,000 API/MCP operations combined per UTC month. - 10,000 scheduled checks/month, minimum interval 15 minutes; 1,000 notification delivery attempts/month. - POST /api/v1/readiness uses the Starter operation allowance, without an additional x402 payment. - Existing workspaces have a 30-day transition deadline shown in the dashboard. - Configuration remains available when paid automation pauses. No automatic overage charges. ## Engineering guides - What is data contract validation?
