Example prompt: Can you underwrite this opportunity for me — run it through the Bounty Engineer agent opportunity underwriter and tell me if I should pursue it: https://github.com/someorg/somerepo/issues/42

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a machine-readable go/no-go decision before committing spend or effort to an opportunity, especially for GitHub bounties or agent commerce tasks. Prefer this over manual evaluation when you need structured confidence scores and conditional routing logic integrated into an agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns error or low-confidence rejection
- Missing URL field in request body causes validation failure
- Payment not completed (402) blocks execution
- Ambiguous or unsupported opportunity type yields low confidence or null decision
- Render cold-start latency may cause timeout on first request

## How this service works

Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'mode' field confirming 'agent_opportunity_underwriter', and an 'underwriting' object containing a 'decision' (e.g. 'conditional', 'approved', 'rejected') and a 'confidence' rating (e.g. 'medium', 'high', 'low').
