SameDayDesk Opportunity Preflight
x402
SameDayDesk Opportunity Preflight is a paid API for AI agents from agents.samedaydesk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).
Evaluates whether an agent-work opportunity (bounty, task, gig) is economically worth pursuing by running deterministic break-even arithmetic and categorical risk checks against caller-supplied cost and probability inputs.

How this service works
Deterministic agent APIs for web and company intelligence, repository security, agent-work economics, machine-service discoverability, payment preflight and settlement proof, wallet context, and Morpho decision evidence. Pay per call through Base x402 or native MPP, with a Circle Gateway Nanopayments path for gasless batched USDC.
Output
Returns a structured JSON object with: a top-level 'decision' field ('go' or 'abandon'), an 'economics' block with expectedSurplusUsd, executionCostUsd, expectedRewardUsd, breakEvenSelectionProbabilityPct, equalEntryShareReferencePct, totalAtRiskUsd, and probabilitySource; a 'gates' block listing hardBlocks (showstoppers), warnings (soft risks), and requiredChecks (items caller must verify); optional platformEvidence if a known platform ID was supplied; plus a boundary disclaimer clarifying the arithmetic-only scope.
Example use cases
Agent bounty screening before bid
“Before my agent submits a bid on this Gofrantic bounty — $25 reward, discretionary acceptance, 80 competitors, escrow settlement, agents allowed, 1 hour of work at $6/hr hourly cost, no compute spend, I'd guess maybe 5% selection chance — tell me if the expected surplus is positive or if I should abandon it.”
High-competition task viability check
“There's a task on TaskMarket paying $50 with 200 competitors, it takes about 2 hours, my hourly cost is $8, and the acceptance is machine-scored — what's the break-even selection probability I need, and should I go for it if I think I have a 3% chance?”
Low-hours micro-task economic preflight
“I'm looking at a quick 10-minute micro-task paying $2, human-only discretionary acceptance, unknown settlement, no platform specified, $5/hr hourly cost, zero compute — is it worth attempting or should I skip it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.samedaydesk.com/work/opportunity-preflightWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a fast, deterministic go/no-go economic verdict on a task or bounty before spending compute or time on execution. It is specifically designed for agent-work marketplaces (gig, bounty, task platforms) and returns explicit break-even math rather than a vague score. Prefer it over generic financial calculators when you need categorical risk gates (hard blocks, warnings, required checks) alongside expected-value arithmetic, especially when the platform ID maps to SameDayDesk's Settlement Radar evidence.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (rewardUsd, hours, hourlyCostUsd) returns a validation error
- rewardUsd must be strictly greater than 0 — zero or negative values are rejected
- selectionProbabilityPct outside 0–100 range causes a schema validation failure
- Unknown or unrecognized platform ID returns null platformEvidence with a requiredChecks flag to reverify primary source
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes a 402 Payment Required response
