What it does

Decide is an agent skill from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp. Use when the user wants to try BlockRun's free typed-judgment endpoint (POST api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide, served by OpenJev) on their own data from Claude Code — yes/no, labelled choice, or scored-rung questions over a text or JSON state, up to 64 per call. Not an MCP tool: call it with curl from the shell. Covers the request shape, what the confidence number does and does not mean, and why OpenJev is not Jev.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Live data for AI agents — search, research, markets, crypto, X/Twitter. Pay-per-call via x402 micropayments. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to try BlockRuns free typed-judgment endpoint (POST api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide
  • Served by OpenJev) on their own data from Claude Code — yes/no
  • Labelled choice
  • Scored-rung questions over a text

Example prompts

  • “/decide”

Requirements

  • A credential in BLOCKRUN_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a7a9b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.blockrun.ai

    Also links to:

    • blockrun.ai
    • user.blockrun.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BLOCKRUN_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Decide loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Decide — free typed judgments from Claude Code

POST https://api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide takes a state (a message, a ticket, a diff, a tool result, a row of data) and up to 64 questions, and returns a typed answer with a number beside each one. No prose to parse. The backend is OpenJev, an open-source natural-language-inference model BlockRun hosts.

It is not a BlockRun MCP tool, on purpose: you are already a frontier model, and for a one-off "is this urgent?" you are the better judge. The endpoint earns its place when the user wants the same fixed ruler over many items, or is prototyping a judgment they will later run from a pipeline without a model. From Claude Code, call it with curl from the shell.

What it is not

  • Not paid, not x402. It is free behind a registered API key. There is no payment header, no wallet path, and it is served by api.blockrun.ai, not the x402 gateway at blockrun.ai (a POST to blockrun.ai/v1/decide is a 404).
  • OpenJev is not Jev. Jev is TypeSafe's model. OpenJev is an unaffiliated open-source NLI cross-encoder (MIT, published by AlexWortega on Hugging Face, Qwen3.5 4B base). It is not made by the people who make Jev and it is not a smaller or free tier of it. BlockRun does not sell or resell Jev. There is one backend, and the x-blockrun-backend response header names it on every call.
  • No quality comparison exists. BlockRun expects OpenJev to be materially weaker than Jev, has not benchmarked the two, and will not put a number on the gap. Do not invent one. The model authors' own zero-shot NLI figures, with attribution and a read date, are at https://blockrun.ai/openjev.

Getting a key without changing how the MCP pays

Keys are minted at https://user.blockrun.ai/dashboard/keys (brk_live_…, shown once; registration, not a card).

For experiments, export the key in the shell and leave the MCP server alone:

bash
export BLOCKRUN_API_KEY=brk_live_…

Do not write it to ~/.blockrun/.api-key just to try decide. The MCP server reads that file at startup and a present key moves every paid tool from wallet mode to account billing — the same switch BLOCKRUN_API_KEY in the MCP server's own config makes. That is fine if the user wants account billing (see the blockrun-setup skill); it is a surprise if they only wanted a free judgment. If the MCP is already on account billing, the same key works for both.

Request

bash
curl -sS -X POST https://api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $BLOCKRUN_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -D /dev/stderr \
  -d '{
    "state": "Help! My payouts have been failing for 3 days.",
    "questions": {
      "is_urgent":   { "type": "noul",   "instructions": "Does this convey urgency?" },
      "department":  { "type": "choice", "instructions": "Which team should handle this?",
                       "criteria": { "billing": "Payments, refunds",
                                     "technical": "Bugs, outages" } },
      "frustration": { "type": "score",  "instructions": "How frustrated is the customer?",
                       "criteria": ["Calm", "Frustrated", "Very angry"] }
    }
  }'

-D /dev/stderr shows the response headers (backend, rate-limit) without mixing them into the JSON on stdout.

FieldTypeRequiredNotes

score is the probability-weighted rung index (1.42 sits between "Frustrated" and "Very angry"); legend maps index → rung text.

Read this before you build a threshold

The confidence on a choice is not the probability the answer is correct.

Every option is scored against the state, and the scores are then divided by their total so they sum to one. That step throws away how strong the scores were:

  • three options each scoring 0.1 — the model supporting none of them — come back as 0.33 / 0.33 / 0.33;
  • two options scoring 0.9 and 0.85 — both strongly supported — come back as 0.51 / 0.49.

Opposite situations, identical response. The number is a share of the agreement found — an ordering with a margin. Wide means the model clearly preferred one option; narrow means it did not. It says nothing about whether any option fits, and nothing has been fitted against real outcomes the way a calibrated model's probabilities are. The same applies to score's probabilities and confidence. A noul is the raw entailment score and is not normalised — but it is not calibrated either.

Set thresholds by running the user's own labelled examples through the endpoint and looking at where the errors land, never by reading the number as a percentage. An agent that gates on confidence > 0.8 as if it were accuracy will be wrong with no error to tell it so.

Trying it on the user's data — the shape that works

  1. Build the state with everything the judgment needs: the message, the records it refers to, the policy that governs it. Fetch with blockrun_exa or blockrun_search first if a fact is missing; decide cannot look it up.
  2. Ask the independent questions together in one call — one round trip, one rate-limit hit, up to 64 answers.
  3. Combine with deterministic checks the code already has (amount, account age, "was a refund already issued").
  4. Route by margin. Act automatically where the margin is wide and the checks agree; hand narrow cases to a reasoning model — blockrun_chat with a claude-*, o-series or DeepSeek model — or to a person.

A quick evaluation loop from Claude Code: put 20–50 labelled rows in a JSON file, loop curl over them with jq, and tabulate agreement per question. That is the only number that should decide whether the endpoint is good enough for the user's task.

bash
jq -c '.[]' examples.json | while read -r row; do
  state=$(jq -c '.state' <<<"$row"); want=$(jq -r '.label' <<<"$row")
  got=$(curl -sS -X POST https://api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide \
    -H "authorization: Bearer $BLOCKRUN_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"state\": $state, \"questions\": {\"q\": {\"type\": \"choice\",
         \"instructions\": \"Which team should handle this?\",
         \"criteria\": {\"billing\": \"Payments, refunds\", \"technical\": \"Bugs, outages\"}}}}" \
    | jq -r '.answers.q.choice')
  echo "$want,$got"
done | sort | uniq -c

What it does not do

It does not write, summarise, or explain — there is no free-text field in the response. It has no memory between calls. Image input exists in the model's v2 checkpoint but the endpoint does not expose it.

Limits and errors

StatusMeaningWhat to do
400Body did not match the schema; the response names the fieldFix the field. Common: a choice with criteria as an array, a score with a map, fewer than 2 criteria, more than 64 questions.
401Missing or invalid keyBLOCKRUN_API_KEY is unset in this shell, or wrong. Check https://user.blockrun.ai/dashboard/keys.
429Per-key hourly limit reachedWait for the interval the response carries (retry-after). The limit is enforced server-side and reported in the response — read it there; do not assume a number.

None of these cost anything; nothing here ever does.

Decide is an agent skill from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp.ai/v1/decide, served by OpenJev) on their own data from Claude Code — yes/no, labelled choice, or scored-rung questions over a text or JSON state, up to 64 per call.

When should I use Decide?

Decide fits situations like: the user wants to try BlockRuns free typed-judgment endpoint (POST api.blockrun.ai/v1/decide; served by OpenJev) on their own data from Claude Code — yes/no; labelled choice; scored-rung questions over a text.

How do I install Decide in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill decide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/decide in BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp) into .claude/skills/decide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Decide in Codex?

Run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill decide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/decide in BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp) into .agents/skills/decide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Decide in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill decide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/decide, .gemini/skills/decide, .github/skills/decide and .opencode/skills/decide in your project.

What does Decide need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Decide needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq and curl) and credentials named BLOCKRUN_API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in BLOCKRUN_API_KEY.

Does Decide access the network?

SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: api.blockrun.ai; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: blockrun.ai and user.blockrun.ai. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Decide safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Decide use?

Decide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Decide use?

About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Decide?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Decide: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), MCP Server Builder (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), MCP Integration for Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars) and Fastmcp Client CLI (PrefectHQ/fastmcp, 28k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
