# Agent Onboarding Friction: First-Payment Enablement & x402 Ecosystem Map

> Agent Onboarding Friction: First-Payment Enablement & x402 Ecosystem Map is a paid API for AI agents from k2so.wrong.systems, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Returns a blunt, agent-facing decision procedure brief covering first-payment enablement and the x402 ecosystem map (agents, facilitators, rails, merchants) to guide builders before they start building.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-onboarding-friction-first-payment-enablement-x402-ecosystem-map-94cffeb1
```

Example prompt: Give me the blunt decision procedure brief on agent onboarding friction and first-payment enablement — I need to understand where agents, facilitators, rails, and merchants sit in the x402 ecosystem before I start building.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent or builder needs a structured, opinionated orientation to the x402 payment ecosystem before starting implementation — specifically covering onboarding friction and first-payment enablement. Prefer it over generic x402 documentation when you want a blunt decision procedure rather than marketing material, and when you need to understand ecosystem roles (agents, facilitators, rails, merchants) in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided: returns HTTP 402 requiring $0.002 USDC via x402 before content is delivered
- Invalid method: only GET/HEAD/DELETE accepted; other methods return an error
- Topic override not recognized: falls back to default decision procedure
- Service unavailable: upstream LLM or reasoning engine down, returns error in result.ok=false

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on agent onboarding friction: first-payment enablement and the x402 ecosystem map (where agents, facilitators, rails, merchants sit before building)-0. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A prose decision procedure brief (the 'brief' field) covering agent onboarding friction, first-payment enablement steps, and an ecosystem map showing where agents, facilitators, rails, and merchants fit in x402. Also returns metadata including the topic, model used, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and an ISO-8601 timestamp.
