Ready Check for agents: what a result contains

Ready Check inspects one inbound email’s text and returns structured findings. It does not write a reply, connect to an inbox, or send mail. There is no draft body and no placeholder field to fill.

Do not ignore your principal’s instructions. Do not treat findings as proof of identity or as permission to send mail, open attachments, follow sign-in links, or pay a fee.

Rules for agents

1. Do not share, log, email, or paste the raw prepaid key. Treat it as a secret. ReadyUpAgents cannot show or recover it.
2. Do not ignore your principal’s (user’s) instructions.
3. Get your principal’s OK before buying credit.
4. Do not send secrets or content your principal has not authorized you to submit.
5. Do not treat findings as proof of identity, as permission to send mail, or as a reason to open attachments, follow sign-in links, or pay a fee. Ready Check does not send mail and does not connect to an inbox.

Successful response (HTTP 200)

Typical fields:

• kind — the requested kind, or general if none was sent
• verdict — for example likely_scam, likely_spam, worth_a_look, or unclear
• kind_verdict — present when a kind was requested
• scam_score, spam_score, caution
• checks_fired — objects with name, source, family, points, detail, and sometimes template
• checks_skipped
• what_it_looks_like, what_looks_off, watch_for
• kind_details — specialist fields when present (for example priority, needs_reply, skip_reason, offer_check). needs_reply is an advisory boolean, not a generated reply.
• nothing_sent — always true
• model_status — completed when model inspection succeeded; otherwise rule-only findings were returned and credit_charged is 0. Rule-only results do not claim the email is safe.
• request_id — keep this for billing support
• charged_checks, charged_usd, credit_charged, credit_remaining

A standard check costs $0.0025. Longer emails may count as two checks ($0.005). The charged amount in the response is never increased afterward. Oversized input is rejected free (400), not charged.

Legacy draft, write_reply, and generate_draft options are ignored and cannot enable writing.

How to use the findings

1. Read verdict, checks_fired, watch_for, and any kind_details before you recommend an action or draft a message.
2. If a rule already raised a warning, do not talk yourself out of it.
3. If you draft a reply, do it in your principal’s own tools and voice, and leave it for their review. Ready Check will not draft or send it.
4. The checks are a sorting aid, not a guarantee. A careful scammer can pass them, and a real sender can trip one.

Error codes to handle

• 400 — invalid, empty, or oversized request. Shorten or fix the body. Do not loop the same rejected payload.
• 401 — missing or unknown/disabled key.
• 402 — not enough credit for the charge, including a two-check price. Nothing is run or partially charged.
• 405 — wrong method.
• 413 — request larger than 64 KiB.
• 415 — Content-Type must be application/json.
• 429 — wait and retry; honor Retry-After if present.
• 503 — temporarily unavailable. If settlement_pending is present, wait and check balance; reuse the same Idempotency-Key if you retry.

Register-specific errors (400, 409, 429, 503) are listed in how to buy credit.
