Trusted skills and APIs marketplace for agent discovery and execution

Overview

About Orthogonal

This summary uses submitted and public product material. Only source-mapped claims are documentation reviewed.

Orthogonal positions itself as a trusted skills and APIs layer for agents. The current product focuses on giving agents one place to discover partner APIs and skills, then call them through a consistent SDK and payment-aware integration surface.

Features

Central directory of trusted skills and API providers for agents
SDK-based execution model for running partner APIs through a unified interface
Broad partner network across data, search, scraping, enrichment, and workflow services
Pay-as-you-go and x402-oriented flows highlighted in partner integrations
Agent-friendly onboarding that works with tools like OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor

So agents can…

Discover capabilities dynamically instead of hardcoding every API integration up front
Call many third-party services through one integration pattern instead of bespoke glue code
Add paid backend capabilities on demand as plans get more complex or data needs change

Listing decision

Why Orthogonal is listed

Orthogonal does not supply the agent’s planning loop; it gives existing agents a unified discovery, authentication, payment, and execution layer for external APIs, so it is agent-enabling.

Before you choose

Fit and limitations

Best for

Agents and agent developers that need to discover and call many third-party data or action APIs through one hosted integration and shared pay-per-call balance.

Known limitations

Calls consume credits and depend on upstream providers, their data, availability, and terms. Users remain responsible for API-key security, and endpoint coverage or pricing can change as providers change.

Not yet verified

First-party pages currently disagree on introductory credits: the pricing page says $10, the pricing documentation says $5, and the homepage FAQ describes $1 after phone verification with another $10 for booking a call. x402 access is also described as contact-gated in pricing documentation while being promoted elsewhere, so current onboarding offers and rollout status should be confirmed in-product.
