Tier list: tools payment agents can use
Payment agents move money. A mistake costs real money, so an agent must be able to practice first. We rank each tool by how much of that access it publishes. Sandbox, public API and key auth count most. Without a sandbox the score stops at 50, so the tool cannot rank above C.

How we check
- We read each tool's public pages, docs and repos for the seven signals. We do not run the MCP server or install the CLI.
- A signal counts only when we find it published. A “present” signal says the entry point exists. It does not grade quality.
- The points are our own rubric (v1). They are not a certification, and we have not yet checked them against real agent success rates.
