> Pre-Payment Agent Metadata Card Verification is a paid API for AI agents from k2so.wrong.systems, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status down (last checked 2026-10-12).

Verifies an agent's published MCP Server Card, A2A Agent Card, Agent Skills manifest, and x402 discovery metadata before payment, returning a precheck receipt and refuse-before-pay gate decision.

## 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 pre-payment-agent-metadata-card-verification-b3888916
```

Example prompt: Before I pay that agent, run a pre-payment metadata card verification on it — check its MCP Server Card, A2A Agent Card, skills manifest, and x402 discovery metadata, and give me the precheck receipt so I can decide whether to proceed or refuse.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a deterministic, blunt go/no-go gate before committing funds to another agent, specifically when verifying MCP Server Cards, A2A Agent Cards, Agent Skills manifests, or x402 discovery metadata. Prefer it over generic validation services because it is purpose-built for the x402 agentic payment ecosystem and returns a structured precheck receipt that can be used as an audit trail or refuse-before-pay signal in automated workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed agent card returns ok:false with a refusal decision
- Unparseable x402 discovery metadata causes handler failure with ok:false in result
- Payment not confirmed returns paid:false with no brief released
- Invalid method (non-GET/HEAD/DELETE) returns HTTP 405
- Rate limiting or upstream unavailability may return non-200 with no result body

## How this service works

Paid agent-facing brief on Pre-payment agent metadata card verification: verify an agent's published MCP Server Card, A2A Agent Card, Agent Skills manifest, and x402 discovery metadata before paying, with a precheck receipt and refuse-before-pay gate. Blunt decision procedure, not marketing.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an ok boolean, a paid boolean, a precheck decision (ok/refuse), a prose decision-procedure brief for agents, the service slug, generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), an ISO-8601 timestamp, and payment attestation details including payer and transaction reference.
