x402 Preflight

Payment intelligence · read only

Know the payment surface before the wallet moves.

Before paying an unknown x402 resource, inspect its payment requirements, price, network, asset, receiver, discovery metadata, and observable operational signals.

  • No wallet connection
  • No payment headers forwarded
  • No automatic spending

Free endpoint

Inspect without presenting payment credentials

The server performs bounded HTTPS probes only. Targets and every redirect are checked against private and reserved networks.

Machine-readable report

Inspection result

Ready
Submit a public HTTPS x402 resource to see its challenge, policy checks, evidence, and claim boundary.

Canonical agent surface

One decision path. Three capabilities.

  1. 01

    inspect_x402_endpoint

    Use first for a bounded, free read of the live payment challenge.

    FREE POST /api/preflight/inspect
  2. 02

    audit_x402_endpoint

    Use when a buyer needs deeper discovery, schema, CORS, redirect, and cache evidence.

    POST /api/x402/preflight/audit
  3. 03

    order_x402_remediation

    Escalate a blocked or risky audit into a durable remediation intake.

    POST /api/x402/preflight/remediation

Evidence, not endorsement

What a report can—and cannot—tell an agent

CHECKS

Observable now

  • HTTP 402 challenge and x402 version
  • Scheme, network, asset, amount, and receiver
  • Bazaar, OpenAPI, llms.txt, and agent metadata
  • CORS, redirects, content type, cache, latency, and size
BOUNDARY

Not guaranteed

  • Seller identity, intent, or future availability
  • Contract safety or downstream business outcome
  • That a later payment will verify or settle
  • That the resource remains unchanged after expiry

Agent integration

Discover once, call through the interface you already use

HTTP + OpenAPI

Strict request, report, receipt, and error schemas are published at the canonical contract.

Open /openapi.json

Remote MCP

Streamable HTTP tool discovery exposes exactly the same three capabilities and no labs tools.

/mcp

x402 + Bazaar

The unpaid 402 response remains authoritative for live price, network, asset, and receiver.

Labs and legacy endpoints

Existing wallet readiness, market data, weather, repository snapshots, marketplace adapters, and signing helpers remain available for current consumers. They are compatibility surfaces, not primary x402 Preflight capabilities.
