# K-2SO x402 Payment Security & Provenance Decision Procedure

> K-2SO x402 Payment Security & Provenance Decision Procedure is a paid API for AI agents from k2so.wrong.systems, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Returns a paid AI-generated decision procedure brief helping agents reason about x402 payment security and provenance verification when interacting with x402 merchant APIs

## 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 k-2so-x402-payment-security-provenance-decision-procedure-6d227134
```

Example prompt: Give me the decision procedure for how my agent should verify x402 payment security and provenance before trusting a paid API response — I want the full prose brief.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs structured, prose-form guidance on x402 payment security and provenance verification — particularly before making or accepting x402 micropayments on Base. Prefer it over generic LLM queries because it is purpose-built for x402 agent-to-agent commerce, returns deterministic or LLM-backed procedures in a consistent schema, and is itself an example of the x402 payment pattern it documents.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment not settled — agent must pay exact USDC amount and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid HTTP method (POST, PUT, PATCH) returns error — only GET/HEAD/DELETE accepted
- Malformed queryParams (e.g. invalid meta value not in ['0','1']) may cause schema validation failure
- Service temporarily unavailable if K-2SO agent heartbeat is down
- Topic override ignored or mismatched if slug does not correspond to a known procedure

## How this service works

Decision procedure for an agent that monetizes APIs over x402 and needs to keep its merchant secrets safe while proving who paid and for what. Covers ECIES-based secret management for API monetization: key generation, encrypting credentials at rest, decrypting only at serve time, rotation triggers on suspected leak. Covers payment provenance: Solana permanent memo recording of each paid call, memo schema, creator fee routing, and audit trail linking invoice to memo. Covers full-stack asset

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure (120+ words) tailored to x402 payment security and provenance, including the topic, the model used to generate it, a timestamp, and the generation source (llm, reasoning, or deterministic). The 'brief' and 'procedure' fields contain the actionable guidance text an agent can parse and act on.
