Add Powder as a commerce evidence provider through its existing Evidence V2 API.

The powder#evidence endpoint gives agents structured commerce evidence for recommendation, purchasing, procurement, merchandising, assortment, and marketplace decisions.

Powder returns its native Evidence V2 response, including available evidence, provenance, coverage gaps, limitations, and Evidence Score. When sufficient evidence is unavailable, Powder preserves that result rather than fabricating a recommendation.

This connector:

  • uses Powder's existing POST /api/agent/evidence/v2 endpoint
  • uses dedicated provider authentication
  • exposes one initial commerce-evidence endpoint
  • uses Monid's native per-call pricing model
  • preserves Powder's canonical request/response model
  • does not introduce a separate evidence or billing architecture
  • includes offline replay fixtures and connector-specific validation

Initial price:
$0.10 USD equivalent per successful evidence call.

Live hosted execution will be validated after connector approval and production credential provisioning.

Pricing representation

This follows the current Apify convention: the provider declares a single
default credit pool labelled US dollars; the endpoint declares
PER_CALL with consumes: { credit: "default", amount: 0.10 }.
The amount is dollar-denominated credits, not 100,000 micro-dollar credit units.
The broker's credit-to-money card remains Monid-owned. No currency conversion,
payment, settlement, or billing hooks are added.

Monid's existing engine emits credits: { default: 0.10 } and
evidence: { CALL: 1 } for a successful HTTP response. A truthful native V2
evidence-gap response is a successful API call. Upstream non-2xx responses
emit empty credit/evidence usage; invalid input fails before transport.
Declared usage does not prove settlement to Powder.

Validation

Validated against upstream main with Deno 2.5.6 and frozen upstream dependencies:

  • Provider, endpoint, input-schema and connector-test type checks passed.
  • Runtime provider/endpoint validation and full catalog compilation passed.
  • Local catalog INSPECT exposes exactly powder#evidence with the canonical
    POST URL, dedicated X-Api-Key injection, and the declared pricing model.
  • Five connector-specific offline tests passed: native gap passthrough and
    CALL metering, strict invalid input, zero usage on upstream failure,
    compiled request/pricing contract, and provider-side credentials.
  • Connector formatting and lint checks passed.
  • Powder's isolated authentication/attribution contract passed: dedicated
    Monid attribution, no fabricated payment/settlement, and no completed
    demand attribution for upstream failures.
  • The identity lock change adds only powder#evidence; existing endpoint and
    resource identities are untouched.

Global ids:check reports pre-existing unrelated upstream identity drift.
No unrelated identities were regenerated. Repository-wide Monid tests are
not claimed to pass; validation is connector-specific plus catalog compilation.
Hosted discovery ranking, live execution and settlement remain unverified.
No paid API usage or production credential provisioning was performed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Commerce Evidence lookup for product and purchasing decisions, returning relevant evidence when available and clearly identifying when no matching evidence is found.
    • Requests can include product, brand, category, and evidence preferences to refine results.
    • Evidence lookups are metered per successful call.
  • Reliability
    • Invalid requests are rejected, and upstream service failures are reported as unavailable rather than as successful results.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the Powder Evidence V2 endpoint with a strict request schema, API-key provider configuration, and per-call usage pricing. Adds the commerce-evidence category and endpoint registry entry. Synthetic fixtures and tests cover evidence gaps, invalid inputs, upstream errors, endpoint metadata, and credential handling.


Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca159

Powder’s connector needs its required test checks, cross-field guidance, and pricing citation completed. The identified gaps are bounded and do not establish a failure in the covered replay behavior.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca159

The integration is narrowly scoped to one fixed HTTPS endpoint with provider-owned credentials. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but hosted execution controls and production credential scope remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is caller-provided query, identifiers, and context sent to the configured Powder service under provider credentials. The connector exposes no caller-selected destination or credential field. Production tenant isolation, credential authority, and downstream data-store exposure cannot be bounded from the available runtime evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The local path separates caller input from provider-secret injection and uses a fixed HTTPS destination. Fetch uses manual redirects, preventing automatic forwarding of the authenticated request to a redirect target. Equivalent hosted enforcement remains unverified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Usage reporting is confined to the existing completion path: non-2xx responses force zero usage, while transport failures bypass completion. No connector-owned reservation, persistence mutation, or payment settlement is added. An upstream request accepted before a lost response can still have effects that this repository does not describe.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before hosted enablement, validate destination and redirect enforcement with the dedicated production credential, and confirm its least-privilege and tenant scope. If the host retries ambiguous transport failures, establish Powder's accepted-before-timeout billing and replay semantics first.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Add the provider-level provenance test.

The supplied stack adds Powder but no testBundle check for its compiled function keys. Add one provider-level check so the compiled Powder docs must share the provider’s keys. As per path instructions, “Provenance (testBundle, which docs share the provider's fn keys) is one per provider, not per endpoint.”

Add a passing near-twin to the schema-gate test.

The test proves that limit: 11 fails, but it does not prove that a nearby valid value passes. Add a passing limit: 10 case through the engine’s pure estimate or an appropriate replay fixture. As per path instructions, the schema gate requires “a passing near-twin proving the gate is not too wide.”

Add the required live test.

The endpoint test has no liveSkip("powder")-gated case. Add one that asserts response shape without asserting billed amounts; it will skip when credentials are absent. As per path instructions, a sync endpoint test includes “live (ignore: liveSkip(slug), asserts shape not amounts).”

Add the vendor pricing source and audit date for the pinned rate.

The new 0.10 per-call amount is a pinned connector rate. The pricing-source rule requires the vendor pricing URL and audit date. Without them, maintainers cannot re-audit this rate against Powder’s published pricing.

Add the source and date in the provider-level pricing comment and the endpoint test’s rate table, unless an applicable documented exception supplies them.

Move the comparison rule to meta.notes.

The rule forbids combining a comparison with brand or a stable-ID filter. It applies across fields, but this description attaches it only to query. Move the rule to the notes in connectors/powder/endpoints/evidence/endpoint.ts; keep the single-field query guidance here. As per path instructions, “cross-field rules ... go in meta.notes.”
