How to Submit and Verify AI Tools on Nodal?

Tool authors and open-source contributors can submit software and skills to Nodal for indexing and community discovery.

How do I submit a new tool? 1. **Web Submission**: Navigate to `https://nodal.sonnev.com/submit` and submit the tool name, public URL, category, pricing model, and description. 2. **Telegram Bot Flow**: Start a conversation with `@nodal_ai_bot` and send `/submit`. The bot collects required fields interactively and records the draft.

What are the verification requirements? - Public documentation and working website. - Functioning HTTP endpoints (no 404/500 errors during ingest crawl). - Clear, honest pricing disclosures (no hidden lock-in or misleading "100% free" claims when gated behind credit cards). - Security screening against malicious packages, spyware, or prompt exfiltration vectors.

Verification Sources - Tool submission route: `sonnev-nodal/src/app/submit/page.tsx` - Telegram bot submission handler: `sonnev-nodal/src/lib/telegram/bot.ts`
