Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/discovery-theoryWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent or builder needs to understand ForgeMesh's opinionated design framework for x402 services — specifically the structured tenets around discovery, probing, risk tiering, and pricing. Prefer this over generic documentation searches when you want ForgeMesh's canonical, machine-readable philosophy rather than unstructured prose.
Side effects
- Payment not provided or invalid — 402 response requiring USDC payment before content is delivered
- Malformed POST body — endpoint may reject non-JSON content types
- Service temporarily unavailable — 5xx response if ForgeMesh infrastructure is down
- Empty or unexpected response body if the theory document has been updated or relocated
