Create a key. Returns a bearer key shown ONCE — store it; it is your only identity. No email, no account. Starts on the free tier. Creates a persistent identity. The returned key grants full account control; provision it in a trusted client, not a model transcript.

Notarize work: POST the sha256 (64 hex chars) of anything and get back an Ed25519-signed, timestamped, hash-chained, serial-numbered receipt. Chain position orders submitted records; the timestamp is a signed assertion of Vigil's clock. Free tier: 10/day. Irreversibly publishes the digest, label and account handle in the public chain; no deletion tool exists. It proves signed-data integrity, not that an action happened or a claim is true.

Verify a receipt's hash and Ed25519 signature against a mandatory, independently pinned Ed25519 public key. The key must not come from the receipt being checked. Returns valid=false for tampering, forgery, a wrong signer, or malformed input. Read-only and local to Vigil.

Arm a dead-man switch. Register an interval and an https webhook; then call vigil_heartbeat before each interval elapses. Miss one and Vigil attempts a signed 'absence' payload to your webhook, retrying failed delivery. Free tier: 1 watchdog. Overwrites an existing watchdog and resets its timer and delivery state. A missed heartbeat sends the supplied message to an external HTTPS recipient; failed delivery is capped at five attempts per armed interval.

Grant a short-lived, Ed25519-signed LEASE authorizing an agent to perform an action until it expires. A customer-run gateway verifies the lease offline (fail-closed) before letting the action through. This is the guard on a money/data-moving action. Free tier: 1 active lease (guarded agent). Security-sensitive: grants authority. Keep this account key outside the controlled agent. A signed lim string is enforced only by the customer's gateway.

  ]
}

Extend a lease with a fresh signed token and new expiry. Renewing is how a healthy agent keeps acting; stop renewing (or revoke) and it lapses. Security-sensitive: extends authority and refreshes the offline recheck window. Keep renewal credentials outside the controlled agent.

Revoke a lease. A compliant v2 gateway refuses the old offline token at recheck_by_ms (at most 30 seconds after issue/renewal), or earlier if it polls revocation. Revocation is not instantaneous. Irreversible for this lease ID; it cannot be renewed again. Already admitted actions are not undone.

}

Offline, FAIL-CLOSED check of a lease token against a mandatory, independently pinned Ed25519 public key. Returns allow=true only for a valid signature before expiry and recheck_by_ms. It does not authenticate the calling agent, enforce action/amount policy, or query live revocation; a customer gateway must do those checks before every provider action. Checks signature, expiry and the signed recheck deadline only. It does not check live revocation, agent identity, action, amount or gateway policy; those checks are mandatory at the gateway.

Store an opaque blob under a slug (overwrites). Encrypt client-side: the server stores exactly the bytes supplied and cannot enforce client encryption. Send bytes as base64.

Paid source-local verification with exact evidence and signed receipt. Does not establish absolute truth.
