Marketplace
Overview
The Rival Marketplace lives at:
https://cortexone.rival.io/marketplace
It is the central discovery layer of the platform - where published tools are listed, explored, and executed.
The marketplace is a single place for anyone to find AI-powered tools built on Rival.
Who can browse
The marketplace is open to everyone.
- No account is required to browse tools
- Anyone can explore listings, documentation, and tool details
To execute a tool - either from the tool page or via API - users need:
- An account
- An API key (for programmatic access)
- Sufficient credit balance
Searching, filtering, and sorting
The marketplace supports full-text search across:
- Tool names
- Descriptions
Filtering
You can filter tools across multiple dimensions, including:
- Tool type - Function, MCP, or Storm
- Runtime - Python, JavaScript, Lua
- Category - defined during tool setup
- Organization - tools published by a specific org
- Sector
- Tags
- Compute environment
- Verification status
Sorting
You can also sort tools based on:
- Creation date
- Number of executions
- Tool name
These controls help you quickly find the most relevant tools - whether you’re looking for something newly published, widely used, or specific to a category.
What appears on a tool listing
Each tool card in the marketplace shows key information:
- Tool name
- Tool type
- Runtime
- Category
- Publishing organization
Clicking a tool opens its detail page, which includes:
- Overview - description of what the tool does and the problem it solves
- Documentation - usage instructions, inputs, outputs, and examples
- Changelog - all published versions and their updates
- Code snippets - ready-to-use API examples
- Reviews & Q&A - feedback from users and questions answered by the developer
- Run directly - execute the tool from the browser without writing code
Tool states and visibility
A tool’s state determines how it appears in the marketplace:
-
Draft
Not published, not listed, and not callable via API -
Private
Callable via API but not listed in the marketplace -
Public
Published, listed in the marketplace, and discoverable by anyone
Public tools are best for sharing and monetization. Private tools are useful for internal workflows or controlled integrations.
Your tool’s marketplace URL
When you publish a tool as Public, it receives a permanent URL:
cortexone.rival.io/marketplace/{org}/{tool-name}
This URL:
- Is stable across versions
- Always resolves to the tool’s detail page
- Can be shared in documentation, blogs, or integrations
Getting your tool discovered
The marketplace surfaces tools through search, filtering, and category browsing.
To improve discoverability:
- Use a clear, specific tool name
- Write a descriptive overview explaining what the tool does
- Choose the correct category and sectors
- Add relevant tags
- Keep documentation complete and up to date
Tools with well-written descriptions and documentation tend to rank better in search results.
