A live handshake means the URL answered an MCP initialize as a server on the probe date. It is liveness and nothing more: nobody has run its tools. A tool being catalogued means a server names it, by answering tools/list, in its own source, or in the vendor's documentation. None of them has been called. A tool count of 0 means not measured, never zero tools.
Common Paper
Contract system built for startups - standardized, mutually-agreeable contract templates (MSAs, DPAs, order forms) plus a workflow/e-signature layer, positioned as a faster, less lawyer-heavy alternative to a full CLM for early-stage companies.
1 of 1 free to start, a solo operator gets API access without talking to anyone.
The gate is the api_gate field on each product entry, established by hand on the last_checked date shown above. It records whether a solo operator can get API access without a contract. Money is not tracked.
2 distinct job labels, the union across 1 product, tagged 2026-08-25. A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

An endpoint is where an agent connects. A docs page is where a person reads about connecting. Both are published because both are what the probe found; an agent needs the first.
No CLI found for any product of this vendor by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence.
github.com/CommonPaper tied to the vendor by rule 3, account website https://commonpaper.com has the vendor's domain, confidence strong

Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08.
A job tag is a vendor claim: it means the vendor says the product does this, and it is not a test result. A listed tool has not been run: the catalogue says what an agent could try, not what works. 1 of 1,252 directory entries are bench tested, meaning somebody personally ran the tool on a stated date, and 0 of this vendor's 1 product are among them. There is no verdict here on whether this vendor is better than another.
Vendor pages group the directory's canonical product entries by vendor_domain. The vendor name is the product display name that matches the domain when several products share it; nothing on this page is typed by hand. Data baked 2026-09-27 by build_directory.py (phase 1).
