Paid verification
How it worksNo sponsored paid call yet.
Pay this endpoint once from your own wallet (Base USDC, up to $1.00) and we call it and record what came back. Your wallet pays the listed recipient directly; Agent Tools never holds funds. Sponsored checks prove delivery; they do not count as demand.
Quality grade
How grading works- ✓ Answers a real HTTP 402 challenge
- ✓ Publishes a /.well-known/x402 descriptor
