What it does

Strait of Hormuz war-risk transit premium nowcast: a live MODELED war-risk insurance multiple (Nx over the peace baseline, 1x-80x scale) for a tanker transit, recomputed every 5 minutes from throughput deviation (IMF PortWatch), the escalation forecast, crude implied volatility (OVX) and event pressure. Returns a band, a curated VLCC premium band ($/voyage, estimated separately), per-driver detail and a confidence that drops on stale feeds. A modeled indicator, not an insurance quote.

Use with an agent

Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
Inspect. Fetch /resources/27066.json for the price and payment options.
Pay. Call GET https://straits.live/api/premium/risk-premium. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Execute. The provider returns 200 with the data. Agent Bazaar is not in the request path and never sees your payment.

For humans

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
