Link safety for AI agents
The link-safety layer between your AI agent and the open web.
Before your agent opens a link, Surface unwraps it (t.co, bit.ly, lnkd.in, youtu.be), checks where it really goes and answers in one word: fetch or skip. One quick round trip. We never return the page.
Free up to 1 million requests a month. No card needed.
Four tools, one meter
Free: first 1,000,000 requests every month. No card needed.
After that, per 1,000 requests (USD): Preflight $0.25 · Hop $0.40 · Pixel $0.15 · Inspect $0.20. POST /v1/event is ingest and is not billed.
$50 CAD/month plan (billed in Canadian dollars): your own production API key and meter; usage beyond the free 1M requests/month is charged at the USD rates above.
Preflight
$0.25 / 1k
Unwraps a short link, sorts out where it lands and tells your agent fetch or skip, with no page download.
Hop
$0.40 / 1k
Tracked redirects. Every time a bot or browser follows your link, it counts.
Pixel
$0.15 / 1k
A 1×1 image. Email clients, ad servers and page tags load it on their own, and each load counts.
Inspect
$0.20 / 1k
Tells you whether the caller is a bot, a browser or a script.
