ARP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 370 installs a week from npm. Last commit 10 Nov 2026.
Check a skill, MCP server or agent before your agent installs or pays it. Reads only.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check ARP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

<ARP_TARGET> (The chain ARP reads: testnet (Intuition testnet 13579) until the tester round ends), <ARP_TOOLS> (The tool set: read serves the public reads only, holds no key and signs nothing).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
