Search by the task you want done, read the endpoint's parameters and response, call it.\n---\n\n## First, check which treg you have\n\nThis plugin can arrive two ways, and they need opposite first moves. **Look at your tools before you\ndo anything else.**\n\n**If you can see `catalog_search`, `catalog_get`, `call`, `balance` and `my_tools`** — treg is\nconnected. Use those; there is nothing to install. The rest of this page is written around the `treg`\ncommand line, so read `treg catalog search` as `catalog_search`, `treg call` as `call`, and so on.\n\n**If you cannot see them**, this copy was installed skills-only — the directory's upload path strips\nconnector config. Everything on this page then runs through the CLI, which you set up once:\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://treg.to/install.sh | sh   # the CLI, pointed at treg\ntreg login                                   # sign in; first login registers you\n```\n\nA new team starts with **$1.00 of free balance**, so there is nothing to pay before the first call.\nIf sign-in is needed, say so plainly and stop — never ask the human for a provider's API key, which\nis the thing treg exists to avoid. (Registering treg's MCP server into Codex is manual: it needs a\n`~/.codex/config.toml` entry with an env-var indirection. `https://treg.to/llms.txt` has the shape.)\n\n---\n\n## When the tools ARE there\n\n| tool | use it for |\n|---|---|\n| `catalog_search` | find an endpoint by WHAT YOU WANT TO DO — \"work email\", \"backlinks\", \"tiktok comments\" |\n| `catalog_get` | one endpoint's parameters and its exact price, **before** you spend |\n| `call` | make the call; treg injects the credential and relays the answer |\n| `balance` | the team's prepaid balance |\n| `my_tools` | what this team registered and you can call without holding the key |\n\nIf the connector is present but the tools error, it has no token yet: the human sets `TREG_TOKEN`\n(from https://treg.to → sign in → copy token) for this plugin.\n\nEither way, the rest of this page is the part that matters — **when** treg is the right move, and\n**how to choose** between providers.\n\n---\n\n# treg — the tool catalog for your agent\n\n**Ask for the task, not the tool.** When a job needs external or live data — backlinks, keyword\nvolume, a TikTok profile, a work email, competitor ad creative — search the catalog, read the price,\ncall it.\n\nTwo kinds of tool answer to the same token, through the same proxy, which injects the credential\n**server-side** so you never hold it:\n\n- **The catalog** — curated external endpoints treg can call for you.\n- **Your own tools** — what a teammate registered and shared with this org: API accounts, OAuth\n  connections, skills.\n\nThe mechanics:\n\n- **Endpoint:** `https://treg.to`  ·  **CLI:** `treg`  ·  the CLI is a thin client over the API.\n- **Auth:** every call sends `X-Treg-Token: <your token>`.\n- A **tool** = an upstream base URL + credential **bindings**. A **skill/bundle** = a recipe\n  (SKILL.md) + its secrets + its tool(s). The proxy *relays, never models* the upstream.\n\n## First: install + sign in\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://treg.to/install.sh | sh     # installs the CLI + points it here\ntreg login                            # browser sign-in (GitHub / Google / email code) — first login registers you\ntreg login --email you@company.com    # terminal-only alternative (emailed 6-digit code)\ntreg login --token <per-org-token>    # non-interactive (agents/CI)\n```\nEverything runs in your **active org** (first login creates a personal one). Team invites arrive by\nemail — see them with `treg invites`, accept with `treg accept` (or `treg org join <code>`). Switch\nteams: `treg org switch <slug>`.\n\n## Already connected over MCP? Then you have the tools, not the CLI\n\nIf you reached treg through `https://treg.to/mcp/` — ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor — the CLI steps above do not\napply to you. You have five tools: `catalog_search`, `catalog_get`, `call`, `balance`, `my_tools`.\nEverything in this document maps onto them:\n\n- \"search the catalog\" → `catalog_search`, then `catalog_get` for the exact price and parameters\n- \"call it\" → `call` with the endpoint id, or `<tool-name>/<path>` for one of the team's own tools\n- \"check the balance\" → `balance`\n\nThe rules below are the same either way. The one that matters most — **say the price before you\nspend it** — matters more here, because `call` returns `cost_usd` and you can report what a call\nactually cost rather than estimating.\n\nA `call` on a catalog endpoint spends the team's balance. A `call` on one of the team's own tools\nspends nothing: that key belongs to them.\n\n## Task — the catalog: what treg can do for you (start here)\n\n~2,600 catalogued endpoints across ~40 providers, grouped by what they DO: keyword & rank tracking,\nbacklinks & authority, AI visibility, trending & discovery, publishing to the team's own social\naccounts, people & company enrichment, ads management & creative, measurement.\n\n```bash\ntreg catalog search \"subreddit posts\"            # find endpoints by what they do\ntreg catalog get scrapecreators.reddit.subreddit.posts   # params, PRICE, how you'd be served\ntreg call scrapecreators.reddit.subreddit.posts --query subreddit=news\ntreg balance                                     # the prepaid balance + recent charges\ntreg catalog request \"<what you need>\"           # searched, not there? file it — steers what's added next\n```\nNotes:\n- Every endpoint's price is in `treg catalog get`, before you call it.\n- HTTP **402** = out of balance, with a machine-actionable body (`balance_micro`,\n  `estimated_cost_micro`, `topup_url`). Recovery: `treg balance` → top up in the dashboard\n  (Team → Billing) → or store the org's own key for that provider (own keys are never billed\n  to the balance — they take priority automatically).\n- An org tool or secret for the provider always wins over treg's key, automatically — the catalog\n  is the fallback, not a replacement for keys the team already has.\n- **Choosing between providers of one capability — the procedure.** `treg catalog get <id>` lists\n  every provider serving the same job with `COST`, `WORKS` (success rate treg has observed, with the\n  sample size), `SPEED` (median) and `LAST OK`. Work down this order:\n  1. **Match the inputs you actually HAVE.** An endpoint wanting a `profile_url` is not a substitute\n     when you hold a name and a domain, whatever it costs. This rule outranks price every time.\n  2. Then **reliability**: a high `WORKS` with a real sample beats a rounder number with a tiny one —\n     `99% (121)` is stronger evidence than `100% (8)`.\n  3. Then **price**. Spreads inside one capability reach 200×, so this is usually where the money is.\n  4. `LAST OK` breaks ties. A bare age means a real call came back; a **`✓` age is the catalog's own\n     verification stamp, not live traffic**; `—` means nobody has verified it and nobody has called\n     it — prefer almost anything else.\n  - **If a call fails with 429 / 5xx / a timeout, try the next provider.** You know its parameters,\n    so you can build its request. Say which one you switched to.\n  - **Never retry a 4xx elsewhere.** A 4xx is usually your parameters; fixing them is the fix, and\n    retrying burns the team's money on N providers for one mistake.\n  - treg does **not** choose or fail over for you. That is deliberate: only you know which inputs\n    you hold, and treg relays rather than rewrites your request.\n- An endpoint with no published price is refused rather than served free; connect your own key.\n\n## Retrying a call without paying twice\n\nIf a call times out or you never see its answer, repeat it with the same `idempotency_key` (over MCP)\nor `Idempotency-Key` header (over HTTP). treg returns the stored answer, does not call the provider\nagain, and charges nothing. The result says `replayed: true`.\n\nOnly for a genuine retry. Asking the same question again to see what changed is NEW work: use a new\nkey or none, or you will get the old answer back. Reusing one key for a different request is refused.\n\nMost retries need none of this — a failed call was never billed.\n\n## Task — your own tools: call one the team registered\n\n**Start from what is registered, then use the API exactly as its own docs say.** No treg vocabulary,\nno special params:\n\n```\ntreg tool ls                                  # what this team has registered\ntreg call intercom conversations?per_page=5   # <tool-name> + the upstream path\n```\n\nOver HTTP that is `GET https://treg.to/call/<tool-name>/<path>` with `X-Treg-Token: <your token>`. treg looks\nup the named tool, injects that team's credential server-side, and relays **everything faithfully**\n(method, query params, your headers, body). Your `X-Treg-Token` is stripped before the upstream sees\nit. Works for GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE.\n\nOnly tools this org has registered resolve. Discover them with `treg tool ls` · `treg skill ls`.\n\n## Task — share your keys & skills so teammates' agents can use them\n**Bulk (the fast path):** run it in the directory the human names. It lists the provider keys it\nrecognises in that `.env` and the skills in its subdirs, and registers only the ones they tick:\n```bash\ntreg upload                       # both sides of the cwd; `treg upload env|skills --dir <d>` to restrict\n```\n**Default: wrap new keys in a skill.** When registering a new key/endpoint/CLI, pair it with\na skill so credential, tool, and recipe land together (and it gets a shareable page). If no\nskill exists, create a basic one — a proper SKILL.md (frontmatter matters: agents discover\nskills by it) + one example call:\n```bash\nmkdir -p ./posthog && cat > ./posthog/SKILL.md <<'MD'\n---\nname: posthog\ndescription: Query the PostHog analytics API through treg — the key is injected server-side. Use for events, insights, and project queries.\n---\nCall it: `treg call posthog api/projects/@current` (upstream: https://us.posthog.com)\nMD\ntreg skill init --dir ./posthog   # drafts treg.json: base_url from the catalog (folder name) or URLs in SKILL.md; review it + add the key\ntreg skill add --dir ./posthog    # registers recipe + secret + tool atomically\n```\n**Never orphan a secret:** a stored key nothing binds is dead weight — if you use `secret add`\ndirectly, bind it to a tool (endpoint/CLI) in the same breath.\n**Bare endpoint, no recipe (only when a skill adds nothing):**\n```bash\ntreg secret add posthog-key --value \"$POSTHOG_API_KEY\"          # or --file ./.secret/token.json\ntreg tool add posthog --base-url https://us.posthog.com --secret posthog-key\n# query-key API instead of a bearer header:\ntreg tool add serpapi --base-url https://serpapi.com --secret <name-or-id> \\\n  --auth-in query --auth-name api_key --auth-format '{secret}'\n```\n**A whole skill (recipe + secrets + tool, possibly multi-credential):**\n```bash\ntreg skill scaffold ~/.claude/skills/google-ads --out gads.json\n#   -> walks the dir: captures SKILL.md as the recipe + every .secret/* as a secret.\n#   -> YOU then edit gads.json: set base_url, and complete each binding (location/name/format).\n#      e.g. google-ads needs TWO bindings on one request:\n#        Authorization: Bearer {access_token}  (injector: oauth)\n#        developer-token: {secret}             (injector: env)\ntreg skill push gads.json                                        # registers the bundle atomically\n```\nShare it inside the org: give a teammate the endpoint + tool name and their agent can call it\n**without being handed the credential** — you granted the access, treg injects the secret, and the\ncall is logged against their token.\n\n**Auth shapes** (per binding `injector`, = the secret's `kind`): `env` (plain string) ·\n`secret_file` (JSON token file, pull `secret_field`) · `oauth` (JSON token, auto-refreshed) ·\n`cli_auth` (a token the human copied out of a CLI they are already signed into, and supplied to treg\nthemselves). Multiple bindings apply to every request.\n\n**OAuth, two modes (treg keeps it fresh):** if the oauth secret carries `refresh_token` +\n`client_id` + `client_secret`, treg **auto-refreshes** it before it expires (you never re-upload).\nIf it's just a bare token, that's **manual mode**, treg injects it as-is and you re-upload when it\nexpires. Same storage; a credential can graduate from manual to auto with no migration.\n\n**Getting the first OAuth token, two ways (your choice):**\n- **Manual:** do your own OAuth locally, then `treg secret add gsc --file token.json --kind oauth`.\n- **Hosted connect:** `treg oauth connect gsc --client-secret client_secret.json --scopes <scope>`\n  → prints a consent URL; you approve in the browser; treg captures the token directly.\n  One-time setup: add `https://treg.to/oauth/callback` to your OAuth app's redirect URIs.\n\n## Task — manage the team + monitor\n```bash\ntreg tool ls / secret ls / skill ls / calls          # inventory + audit log — scoped to the active org\ntreg tool rm <id> / secret rm <id> / skill rm <id>   # secret rm is blocked while a tool binds it\ntreg health            # status of every credential in this org (ok | invalid | unknown)\ntreg health --run      # re-check now: refresh oauth tokens, probe each tool, alert owners\n```\n**Teams / orgs** (owner > admin > member > viewer; a member manages only what they created):\n```bash\ntreg org create \"Team A\"                       # you become owner (auto-active)\ntreg org invite bob@company.com --role member  # admin+; emails the invite (a one-time code is the fallback)\ntreg org members                               # admin+; who's in the active org\ntreg org ls / treg org switch <slug>           # your orgs / switch active\n```\n**Give an agent its own identity** (admin+). An agent doesn't have to borrow the human's token — mint\nit one, and every call it makes is capped, scoped and logged as *itself*:\n```bash\ntreg org agent-new ci-bot                        # prints the token ONCE (run again to rotate)\ntreg org agent-new ci-bot --tools stripe,gh --cap 500   # only these tools, 500 calls/day\ntreg org agents                                  # who the team's agents are + today's usage\ntreg org agent-rm <user_id>                      # revoke instantly\n```\nPut that token in the agent's `TREG_TOKEN` env var. An agent token can **call this team's tools and\nread** — it can never sign in, create a team, or be an owner. If you are an agent and you were given\nyour own token, use it instead of the machine owner's: your work then shows up under your own name in\n`treg calls`.\n\nThe invitee signs in with the invited email and runs `treg accept` — no code handling needed\n(the code path still works: `treg org join <code>`). A brand-new invitee also gets their own\n**personal org** (no empty state), so removing them from a team never locks them out. Give a tool\na probe so treg can validate it: `health_check: {method, path, expect_status}` (e.g. intercom `{\"path\":\"me\"}`).\n\n## Rules\n- Secrets are **write-only** — the API never returns a stored value, to you or to anyone.\n- A tool may bind a secret **a teammate shared with this org** (use-without-hold) — that's the point:\n  they chose to share it, it stays scoped to the org, you can spend it without seeing it, and every\n  call is attributed to the token that made it. It is delegated access inside one team, never access\n  to a credential nobody granted you.\n- **Everything is scoped to your active org.** A token reaches that team's tools and no one else's.\n- The proxy doesn't understand the upstream; if a call fails, the status you see is the upstream's truth.\n- More: `https://treg.to/llms.txt` (agent onboarding) · `https://treg.to/tutorial` (interactive walkthrough).\n"
