Output
Returns a merchant trust assessment for the specified x402 endpoint, including security flags, anti-poisoning detection results, x402 compliance signals, and an overall trustworthiness verdict — without initiating or authorizing any payment. Returns no charge on empty or inaccessible results.
Example use cases
Pre-payment safety check for agentic workflow
“I'm about to have my agent call a new x402 API at https://api.newprovider.com/search — can you do a HirePulse trust scan on that endpoint first to make sure it's not a scam or trying to poison my agent before I authorize any payment?”
Vetting an unknown MCP merchant
“There's this MCP merchant at https://mcp.unknownvendor.xyz/generate that wants $0.01 per call — can you run the HirePulse verify-merchant scanner on it and tell me if it looks legitimate and free of anti-poisoning attacks?”
Auditing a recommended API before integration
“Someone recommended I use https://api.thirdpartydata.io/enrich for my agent pipeline, and it uses x402 micropayments — please do a pre-purchase security and trust check on it so I know if it's safe before I build it in.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://gethirepulse.xyz/verify-merchant?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent is about to make its first payment to an unknown or unverified x402 merchant and needs a pre-authorization trust signal. Prefer this over generic URL scanners because it is specifically tuned for x402 protocol compliance, agentic prompt-poisoning attack detection, and MCP merchant patterns — concerns that general web security scanners don't address.
Side effects
- Invalid or unreachable target_url returns empty result with no charge
- Non-HTTPS URLs or malformed URLs may be rejected
- Private or internal endpoints that cannot be scanned publicly will return no data
- Rate limit after 5 free calls per day; subsequent calls billed at $0.005 USDC
- Target endpoint actively blocking scanners may yield incomplete results
