How this service works
Name a market, category or company and get one cited MARKET / COMPETITOR BRIEF: how the market is defined and sized, the key players and what each offers, pricing, recent moves, how they differ, risks and a bottom line - every claim from live web research with citations, nothing from memory. The research pipeline with a competitive-intelligence plan. USDC (x402/MPP) or card (Stripe). Not cached.
Output
A structured JSON response containing: a markdown (or JSON) research report with inline citations, a list of cited sources with URLs, relevance ranks, titles and snippets, a list of sub-questions explored during research, and metadata including the number of searches run, sources consulted, sources cited, and the synthesis model used.
Example use cases
Competitive landscape for agent payments
“Give me a market brief on the current competitive landscape for AI agent payment systems — focus on x402, MPP, and stablecoin rails — formatted as a markdown report with sources from the past year.”
Due diligence on agentic finance sector
“I need a cited research report on the agentic finance sector for a VC pitch deck — cover major protocols, adoption trends, and key players, and pull from the most recent sources you can find. Markdown format please.”
Crypto AI agent tooling overview

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.tools/v1/research/market-briefWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a synthesized, multi-source research report with citations rather than a single web lookup or data point. It is especially well-suited for market landscape questions, competitive analysis, and emerging technology overviews in the agentic finance and AI tooling space. Prefer it over generic search APIs when you need the results distilled into a coherent narrative with ranked, cited sources. It is not suited for real-time price data, structured database lookups, or queries requiring deterministic computation.
Side effects
- Query exceeds 2000 characters — request rejected with validation error
- Recency filter too narrow returning insufficient sources — report may have fewer citations
- Payment of $0.85 USDC not completed — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid format enum value — defaults to markdown or returns validation error
- Focus array exceeds 8 items — request rejected
- Synthesis model timeout on complex queries — partial or empty report returned
