delx-agent-utilities 0.1.1

Stateless utility tools for AI agents — URL/DNS/x402/JWT/encoding/parsing — local-first, deterministic, no API keys.

Delx Agent Utilities

Stateless utility tools for AI agents — URL/HTTP, DNS/RDAP, x402, JWT, encoding, parsing, regex, cron.
Local-first. No API keys. Deterministic.

---

What it is

41 stateless utility tools that AI agents reach for constantly: URL health checks, page extraction, MCP readiness, x402 server discovery, JWT inspection, DNS / RDAP lookups, JSON / CSV conversion, hash / base64, cron description, and more.

• Stateless — every call is independent; no session, no cache, no DB.
• No API keys — public endpoints only (rdap.org, dns.google, plus user-supplied URLs).
• Deterministic — no LLMs, no model calls, no fuzzy outputs.
• Fast — most tools < 100ms; networked tools < 5s with timeouts.
• MCP-native — agent-readiness manifest, connection status, privacy audit.

This package was extracted from the Delx Protocol MCP server so any AI builder can use the toolkit directly, without depending on the Delx runtime. The public product and protocol context lives at ontology.delx.ai/utilities.

Install

pipx install "delx-agent-utilities[mcp]"

CLI entrypoints: delx-agent-utilities, delx-utils (alias), delx-utils-mcp (MCP server).

Quick use

From an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delx-utils": {
      "command": "delx-utils-mcp"
    }
  }
}

41 tools become available immediately, plus three agent-readiness surfaces:

• delx_utilities_manifest
• delx_utilities_connection_status
• delx_utilities_privacy_audit

From the CLI

delx-utils manifest
delx-utils list-tools
delx-utils show util_url_health
delx-utils call util_url_health --json '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

From Python

import asyncio
from delx_agent_utilities import call_util_tool, list_util_tool_schemas

result = asyncio.run(call_util_tool("util_url_health", {"url": "https://example.com"}))
print(result["status_code"], result["latency_ms"])

schemas = list_util_tool_schemas()
print(f"{len(schemas)} tools available")

The 41 tools

Encoding & parsing (12)

util_json_validate, util_token_estimate, util_uuid_generate, util_timestamp_convert, util_base64, util_hash, util_regex_test, util_cron_describe, util_http_codes, util_jwt_inspect, util_csv_to_json, util_json_to_csv

Web extract (6)

util_page_extract, util_open_graph, util_links_extract, util_forms_extract, util_contact_extract, util_feed_discover

Network probes (8)

util_url_health, util_robots_inspect, util_sitemap_probe, util_tls_inspect, util_security_txt_inspect, util_http_headers_inspect, util_dns_lookup, util_rdap_lookup

x402 / API intel (6)

util_x402_server_probe, util_x402_resource_summary, util_x402_server_audit, util_api_health_report, util_openapi_summary, util_mcp_server_readiness_report

Identity / contact (1)

util_email_validate

Composite reports (8)

util_website_intelligence_report, util_domain_trust_report, util_docs_site_map, util_pricing_page_extract, util_company_contact_pack, util_api_integration_readiness, util_login_surface_report, util_content_distribution_report

Each tool's full input schema is available via delx-utils show <tool> or UTIL_TOOL_SCHEMAS["<tool>"] in Python.

Privacy posture

No API keys. No telemetry. No state. Networked tools call only:

• rdap.org/domain/<domain> for RDAP lookups
• dns.google/resolve for DNS-over-HTTPS
• User-supplied URLs for everything else

Call delx_utilities_privacy_audit (or delx-utils privacy-audit) to see the full posture in JSON form before invoking any networked tool.

Roadmap

• v0.2.0 — split _internal/_tools_web.py (1k LOC) into per-domain modules: _tools_web_extract.py, _tools_network.py, _tools_x402.py, _tools_composite.py.
• Per-tool unit tests (one file per tool) replacing the smoke-only suite.
• Optional httpx.AsyncClient reuse for batched probes.
• Configurable per-tool timeouts via env (DELX_UTILITIES_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_S, DELX_UTILITIES_URL_HEALTH_TIMEOUT_S, …).

Provenance

Originally part of the Delx Protocol MCP server. Extracted on 2026-05-09 as a standalone open-source package so any AI builder can use the toolkit without depending on the Delx Protocol runtime.

The Delx Protocol itself (recovery / heartbeat / identity / governance primitives) remains closed-source; this package is the open utility layer beneath it.

Contributing

PRs welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. Common cuts that would help:

• New utility tools that fit the "stateless / no API keys / deterministic" rule.
• Splitting _internal/_tools_web.py per the v0.2.0 roadmap above.
• Per-tool unit tests.
