Rental Deposit Safety Guard — pay-per-call API

Name: code402 — Rental Deposit Safety Guard
Price: 0.02 USD
Author: code402

$0.02 per call · 20 free calls/day · no signup · pay with card credits or a signed USDC voucher (x402)

CRITICAL ESCROW DEFENSE: Validates rental deposit safety by checking recipient IBAN checksum, matching property/deposit country jurisdiction, and flagging advance pre-viewing payment demands to prevent escrow theft.

Honest scope: Deterministic rule engine over the signals you pass in: it flags documented fraud patterns with an explainable score. It is not an appraisal, a registry lookup, or a guarantee.

No key needed for the free tier. When the free quota is used up, the API replies HTTP 402 with the exact price — agents sign the x402 voucher and retry; humans buy card credits. Every paid response carries a signed receipt you can verify offline.
