# Autonomous Brand Monitoring Decision Procedure (x402)

> Autonomous Brand Monitoring Decision Procedure (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from k2so-8080.on.ascii.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Returns a blunt, agent-readable decision procedure for when and how to run continuous brand monitoring autonomously, including signal tiers, polling frequency vs cost tradeoffs, and x402 per-call payment wiring.

## 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 autonomous-brand-monitoring-decision-procedure-x402-ceda3245
```

Example prompt: Give me the decision procedure for running autonomous brand monitoring — I want to know which signal tiers to track (mentions, sentiment, competitor moves, crisis keywords), how often to poll given a tight USDC budget, what alert thresholds to set, and how to wire x402 payments without any API key or human approval step.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a structured, opinionated decision framework for setting up autonomous brand monitoring without human involvement — particularly when the agent must self-authorize x402 micropayments, has no API key, and needs clear signal-tier and cost-budget guidance baked into a single callable brief. Prefer over generic brand monitoring APIs when the goal is agent autonomy and cost-controlled polling logic rather than raw data retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided — endpoint returns x402 payment required response with no brief
- Invalid method (POST/PUT) — schema only allows GET/HEAD/DELETE
- Topic override malformed — may return generic brand monitoring procedure instead of topic-specific one
- LLM generation failure — generationSource may fall back to deterministic with reduced quality
- Service temporarily unavailable on ascii.dev infrastructure

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on agent-facing decision procedure for autonomous brand monitoring via x402: when to run continuous brand watch for an agent principal, which signal tiers to track (mentions, sentiment shifts, competitor moves, crisis keywords), polling frequency vs cost budget in USDC, alert escalation thresholds, and how to wire per-call x402 payment with no API key or human in the loop. Fills the media niche gap (own 1 vs mpp 7).. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

A structured prose brief containing: a blunt go/no-go decision on whether to run continuous brand monitoring, recommended signal tiers (mentions, sentiment shifts, competitor moves, crisis keywords), polling frequency recommendations calibrated against a USDC cost budget, alert escalation thresholds, and step-by-step x402 per-call payment wiring instructions requiring no API key or human intervention. Also includes metadata fields: topic, service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and ISO-8601 timestamp.
