  "$schema_note": "The tool catalog for the bitcoineconomy.ai marketplace: equipment an autonomous agent installs or runs to transact in Bitcoin — wallets & treasuries, node toolkits, ecash software, bridges & swaps, and the protocol primitives (L402, NWC, BOLT12, LNURL, MCP). Distinct from the service registry at /directory.json (what an agent BUYS); this is what it EQUIPS. Each tool: toolbox_group, tool_type, layer (where it sits in the stack), prereq_tier (what must be in place first), maintainer, repo/docs/site links, and mcp_endpoint where the tool ships its own MCP server (connect there to act). Full per-tool detail (gotchas, dependencies, verified specs) at card_url. Reference facts, not endorsements. Queryable via the /mcp server: find_tool, get_tool, list_mcp_servers.",

Registered anyway because it is the one live, agent-reachable ecash wallet endpoint in the catalog and an agent should be able to find it - but the endpoint is a trial surface, not a production wallet. For production, run your own Ippon server (same code) and point here for the shape.
