Agent & Infrastructure

Competitors for one x402 resource or capability, over our ~18,000-service harvest of the x402 directories plus our own unpaid 402 probes. Returns the price band (min/median/p90/n) over real listings only, price provenance per rival, whether it publishes a spec an agent can call unattended, observed 30-day demand and settlement network. Never probed reads observed:false, never a guess. Buy before pricing or listing a service, or choosing an endpoint. Charges nothing when nothing matches.

Before you pay an x402 endpoint you have never called, buy what we observed when WE called it: the outcome of our own unpaid probe, when we ran it, whether it answered a correct 402 with readable payment terms, and whether it publishes a call spec you can build a request from. Never probed returns observed:false — an honest unknown, never an invented uptime figure. Optional ML-DSA-65 attestation. If we hold no record of the URL at all, you are not charged.

Turn messy text — a web page, email, invoice, receipt, job posting, contract clause, product description — into strict JSON matching a schema YOU supply. The schema is enforced in code, not merely requested: output is parsed, validated, repaired once against the exact validation error, and the call FAILS with the violated constraint rather than returning unvalidated JSON. Fields not present in the input come back null instead of a plausible invention. Priced per call. For high-volume use, buy prepaid credits (POST /x402/credits/buy) and send X-Animica-Credits on each request — no settlement, no gas, no per-call payment round trip. Paying in ANM on the animica:1 lane is also ~25% cheaper because we sponsor no gas there.

Decision procedure for setting inference spend per agent decision, not per API call. Matches a task to a model tier (frontier, mid, small/local, free heuristic), computes expected decision value before any token spend, caps compute at a fraction of expected value, enforces per-decision and per-hour inference budgets, detects tier creep (same task silently upgraded to a pricier model), and includes a falsifier that downgrades the tier when a cheaper model passes an equivalence check on a sample. Outputs a concrete tier + budget verdict for each decision class. Blunt procedure, not marketing.

Deterministic procedure for an agent running a conversational x402 payment flow to decide when it may act alone (availability checks, quote requests, holds below threshold) versus when it must pause for a human passkey approval before settling (amount above threshold, new counterparty, scope change, refund). Includes nonce and scope binding so the approval can only apply to the exact payment presented to the human, approval expiry, replay protection, and a fallback ladder when the human is

Decision procedure for whether an autonomous agent pays a CAPTCHA solving service (2Captcha-style: reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, hCaptcha, image captchas) versus solving in-house versus backing off. Covers the legitimacy gate that kills flows targeting protected or payment systems, per-solve budget caps with hard ceilings, ToS checks per target domain, solver quality and score gates, fallback order from official API to in-house model to paid solver to exponential backoff, evidence logging of solve results and spend, and an explicit kill-criteria list. Returns a go/no-go verdict with the decision path taken. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

Deterministic pre-settlement decision procedure for an agent that is offered a token as payment, payout, collateral, or reward over x402 and must decide whether the token contract is safe to accept or interact with before any settlement. Inputs: token address, chain, proposed role, amount, counterparty reputation. Checks: contract type and upgradeability, ownership and mint authority (EOA admin vs timelock), buy-sell symmetry with a dust test (honeypot detection), fee-on-transfer tax traps, pool depth vs settlement size, holder concentration, verified source, and counterparty mint tie. Output: ACCEPT with net-value estimate, ACCEPT_CAPPED with max amount, HOLD_PARTIAL with conditions, or REJECT with the triggering check. Abort rules: never settle in an unscreened token, never accept a token whose sell path cannot be demonstrated, never substitute wallet-level holder intel for contract-level safety, re-screen before large settlements.

Deterministic gate for an agent presented with an issuer-signed agent identity credential or identity tag before transacting. Ordered checks: issuer trust (who signed, verification key published, issuer linked to rail or facilitator), key binding via proof of possession against the session signing key, non-transferability (no reuse across agents, resale signals forgery), revocation and expiry checked before and at settlement, scope binding (a tag asserts identity, not payment authority), and replay protection via session nonce. Outputs ACCEPT, ACCEPT_WITH_CAVEATS, REQUIRE_ISSUER_CONFIRMATION, or REJECT with the failing check named.

Paid agent-facing brief on Algorand counterparty wallet account-state risk scoring decision procedure for agents: deterministic allow/caution/block verdict on a wallet before signing an x402 payment or asset transfer. Score rekey authority, freeze/clawback manager configuration on held ASAs, opt-in status, minimum balance health, transaction type mix, and asset concentration. Ordered workflow with tiered thresholds, kill criteria, and falsifier rules. Agent pays USDC, gets a deterministic verdict, no API key.. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

Paid agent-facing brief on Funding-asset conversion procedure for token-funded agents paying USDC-denominated x402 endpoints. An agent is funded in a project token (BOT, ALGO, ETH, or any non-USDC asset) but x402 settlement happens in USDC on Base. The service defines when and how to convert: conversion threshold (convert only when spendable USDC balance drops below the next 24h budget, never convert speculatively), exchang-0. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

Decision procedure for an agent that must choose which onchain data source class to trust before executing an autonomous financial action: native oracle, indexer API, AI-generated inference, or raw RPC. Inputs: the price/state feed needed, freshness tolerance, value at risk, and audit requirement. Steps: (1) classify the decision type (price-sensitive, state-sensitive, identity-sensitive) to set the freshness budget; (2) check each candidate provider for manipulation surface (single-quoter vs

Decision procedure for an agent that must verify a counterparty agent can actually perform a task before paying via x402. Covers capability discovery, declared vs proven capability scoring (self-claims are not proof), scope and commitment semantics, refusal and fallback ladders, and escalation to human or dispute path. Outputs ACCEPT_AND_QUOTE, REQUIRE_PROOF, FALLBACK_TO_ALTERNATE, or REFUSE with the threshold math that fired. Blunt procedure, not marketing.

Paid agent-facing brief on Agent payment lifecycle next phases: (a) streaming LLM usage settlement decision procedure (when to keep an x402/MPP session open vs settle, per-token cost drift gates, interruption and mid-stream refund thresholds, real-time cost visibility), (b) per-merchant delivery receipt verification decision procedure (schema conformance, content-hash binding to settlement receipt, freshness gates, pre-dispute evidence triage), (c) escrow evaluation settlement wiring

Paid agent-facing brief on agent decision procedure for vetting third-party programmable wallet providers (custody model, key isolation, spend-cap enforcement, recovery) before delegating agent spend authority, distinct from existing agent-wallet-provisioning-and-spend-authority-fo · Build a decision procedure or schema for: agent decision procedure for vetting third-party programmable wallet providers (custody model, key i-0. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

Call any x402 endpoint WITHOUT paying and get back what its own 402 challenge says: the real price, asset, network, payTo address, scheme, timeout, and the request schema when the merchant publishes one. Directory listings are written once and go stale; this is the merchant's own current statement of the terms you are about to accept. It also distinguishes the cases a directory cannot: a resource that answers 402 properly, one that is listed as paid but answers WITHOUT payment, one that is listed but gone, and one that simply fails. No payment header is ever sent, so this cannot settle anything, and unknown endpoints are probed with GET — never a write verb with a guessed body.

Price positioning for an x402 service. Describe what you sell (and optionally what you charge) and get the comparable set — named, counted, and listed — plus your exact percentile within it, the full decile ladder of what those comparables charge, how much demand sits in each price band, and a suggested band derived from the comparables rather than asserted. Refuses to compute a percentile when too few real comparables exist, because a confident percentile over four loosely-related rows is worse than no answer. Interpretation is written by Animica's own AICF inference network; every figure is computed in code.

Describe a goal and a budget; get back a concrete plan of real x402 calls that would accomplish it — exact URLs, HTTP methods, request shapes, per-step prices from the merchants' own 402 challenges where we have verified them, alternates for every step, and a total you can check before committing. Only services that publish a callable request shape are planned; a step with no invokable candidate is returned as an explicit gap rather than a URL and a shrug. IT DOES NOT SPEND: this compiles the plan and stops, so you execute it with your own wallet on your own terms. It also does not claim the pipeline type-checks — roughly 5% of the x402 economy publishes schemas, so most step-to-step handoffs cannot be verified, and every edge says which it is.

Statistical analysis of any segment of the x402 economy, computed over a merged index of Coinbase Bazaar and 402index overlaid with our own unpaid 402 probes. Returns the full price distribution (min, p10, p25, median, p75, p90, max, mean), demand discounted by payer concentration, what share of the segment can actually be invoked, the network and asset split, host concentration, liveness, and — once history exists — the trend. Every figure is computed in code from named rows; the interpretation is written by Animica's own AICF inference network and every sentence containing a number not in the computed facts is deleted before delivery. Directories publish rows; this publishes the distribution.

Competitive position for a single x402 resource. Give a URL that is listed anywhere in the merged index and get back what the index holds on it (including any correction our own unpaid 402 probe made to its advertised price), the peer set derived from its own description, and where it ranks among those peers on price, call volume, payer diversity and callability — plus the mirrors of itself that are listed as separate services. Useful whether the endpoint is yours or one you are about to buy from. Interpretation is written by Animica's own AICF inference network; every figure is computed in code.

OpenAI-compatible chat completions with capacity-gated admission, no per-IP rate limit, direct upstream routing and a 180 s timeout. Only sold while enough workers are live-serving; disabled by default.

Scan retrieved content — a fetched page, an email, a tool result — for text trying to manipulate the agent reading it: instruction overrides, role/system impersonation, exfiltration requests, hidden or encoded directives. Returns a risk score, the suspicious spans verbatim, and the technique observed. Deterministic pattern checks run ALONGSIDE the model so a blatant "ignore all previous instructions" is caught even if the model misses it, and the two signals are reported separately rather than blended into one number you cannot interrogate. Priced per call. For high-volume use, buy prepaid credits (POST /x402/credits/buy) and send X-Animica-Credits on each request — no settlement, no gas, no per-call payment round trip. Paying in ANM on the animica:1 lane is also ~25% cheaper because we sponsor no gas there.

Legacy Dex trading-agent signal API for agents. Prefer /v1/dex/agent-output. Returns the latest Seerium Dex trading-agent read for supported crypto symbols.

Test endpoint for verifying x402 payment integration end to end. Returns a static greeting in the Agent Tollbooth standard response envelope. Not a data product — use it to smoke-test your x402 client for $0.001 before calling our compliance endpoints: OFAC sanctions screening ($0.01) and FDIC bank verification ($0.01), listed under this same payTo address.
