Hey HN! I'm the maker of UCPtools.

Quick context: UCP was announced Jan 11, 2026 by Google, Shopify, and 25+ partners. It's an open standard that lets AI shopping agents discover and interact with e-commerce stores.

I built UCPtools because: 1. There was no easy way to validate UCP profiles 2. Merchants had no visibility into AI agent traffic to their stores 3. No monitoring existed for when profiles break

The free validator is unlimited - paste any URL, get instant results.

The paid tier ($9/mo) adds AI Agent Analytics - you can see exactly which AI agents (Gemini, Perplexity, Claude) are visiting your store, what they're doing, and get alerted if something breaks.

You can try the analytics with our demo: https://ucptools.dev/dashboard/analytics?demo=true

Curious what HN thinks - is AI commerce going to be a real thing, or overhyped? Would love feedback on the tools!
