title: "Agent Skills Catalog"
description: "Human-readable catalog of the 25 World Monitor agent skills advertised through the /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json discovery endpoint."
---

The catalog contains 25 World Monitor agent skills for agents that need a focused, ready-to-run recipe instead of a full OpenAPI crawl. Each skill is a public `SKILL.md` file with when-to-use guidance, auth shape, REST examples, response notes, and content-safety handling.

The machine-readable source of truth is [`/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`](https://worldmonitor.app/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json). Each row below links to the served recipe whose SHA-256 digest is pinned in that manifest.

## Calling Model

Use the MCP server when your client can discover tools dynamically:

```text
https://worldmonitor.app/mcp
```

Use REST when you want the exact recipe call from a skill file:

X-WorldMonitor-Key: wm_<40-hex>
```
