What It Does

The Intake Warden is the entry point for all data ingestion in RedQueen. It validates x402 payment authorization for cloud deployments, authenticates VPC tokens for BYOI deployments, assigns a globally unique Stream-UUID (UUID v7, time-ordered) to every payload, and creates the metadata envelope that all downstream agents use for tracking and audit.

Capabilities

x402 payment validation
VPC bearer token authentication
Stream-UUID v7 assignment
Metadata envelope creation
Payload size validation (max 512MB)
Multi-tenant isolation

Example

intake-warden-example.ts

const result = await mcp.call('intake_warden_validate', {
  payload: btoa(JSON.stringify(data)),
  source_id: 'salesforce-contacts',
  tenant_id: 'your-tenant-id',
  deployment_mode: 'byoi',
});
console.log(result.stream_uuid); // "018f4e2a-7b3c-7d8e-..."
