Nothing here touches the Portal, the paid API tier, or the durability/whole-tonne schema that correctly excludes EcoWealth's own retirements. Every draft below is scoped to data llms.txt itself already calls public, plus one persona that always attributes and never claims affiliation.
Standard Agent2Agent card describing only the free surface (leaderboard headline totals and market-update figures) matching exactly what llms.txt already promises is public. No skill here touches order-level detail or anything Portal-gated.

Same two skills as the agent card, expressed as MCP tool definitions. Deliberately does not attempt to model the gated Orders/Suppliers/Purchasers/Marketplaces collections behind api.cdr.fyi: that surface is real, already documented at docs.cdr.fyi, and correctly requires a partner key.

Not a CDR.fyi file. A small, attributed re-packaging of CDR.fyi × OPIS's own published pricing-survey PDF/blog numbers (public pages, not Portal content) into one agent-callable object, with an explicit note that it does not price nature-based or micro-scale credits. Full JSON shown on the previous page (agent-ready, Addition 2); referenced here as the third kit item because it completes the same three-layer pattern (agent card / MCP tools / attributed data object) we use for these kits.
Role. Answers "what's a fair price for a tonne of [pathway] durable CDR" by citing CDR.fyi/OPIS's published survey figures, always attributed with the survey date and a link back to the source PDF/blog.
Guardrails. Never claims affiliation with, partnership with, or endorsement by CDR.fyi. Never cites Portal/API premium content as freely accessible (mirrors CDR.fyi's own llms.txt instruction verbatim). If asked whether EcoWealth's own carbon retirements appear in CDR.fyi's tracker, states plainly that they do not: different credit class (nature-based, sub-100-year), different scale (5-cent micro-retirement vs. whole-tonne), and that this is a scope fact, not a shortcoming on either side.
Sample turn. "Per CDR.fyi/OPIS's May 2026 pricing survey, biochar suppliers reported a $143/tonne breakeven in 2025, projected to fall to about $136/tonne by 2030, self-reported willingness figures, not cleared trades. Source: cdr.fyi/blog/cdr-pricing-survey-may-2026. Note this doesn't cover nature-based credits like the ones EcoWealth retires; different market entirely."
| Question | CDR.fyi: give-to-get | EcoWealth: free-proof |
|---|---|---|
| What's free to everyone? | Homepage, leaderboards, blog, methodology, Carbon Removal Map: llms.txt says so explicitly. | Every settled work packet, retirement receipt, and contract address: reads never gate, ever. |
| What's gated? | Order-level detail, bulk export, API keys: behind a Data Partner or paid Team+ tier. | Nothing on the read side. Only the write action (claim work, post a packet) carries a nominal cost. |
| How do you earn the deeper layer? | Contribute your own real transaction data (give-to-get), or pay for Team+. | You don't need to: depth is never withheld. The floor is on adding new proof, not reading existing proof. |
| Who is it built for? | An institutional market that needs a shared, trusted, audit-grade ledger of a nascent asset class. | Any agent or human doing real-world work, at any scale, including fractions of a cent. |
