How this service works
Synthex Forge x402 Receive: 41 paid verification, attestation and governance endpoints (Ed25519 + SHA-256 signed artifacts) plus free verify/public-key/standard sibling routes. Paid routes answer HTTP 402 with an x402 v2 `payment-required` envelope (atomic USDC on Base mainnet, chain ID 8453). Free routes are declared with `security: []` per the x402scan discovery spec.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean indicating whether the proposed agent action and amount are permitted under the provided spending policy. A true value means the action is authorized; false means it would violate the budget constraints.
Example use cases
Pre-authorize agent spend before API call
“My agent 'billing-bot-42' is about to make a $0.50 API call — can you run a budget preflight against our monthly-cap policy to make sure it's allowed before it goes through?”
Enforce spending limits for autonomous agents
“We have a strict $10/day policy for our research agent 'researchr-v2'. Before it spends $1.00 on a verification step, check the preflight to see if that action is within budget.”
Governance check for multi-agent workflow
“In our multi-agent setup, agent 'orchestrator-1' wants to approve a $0.25 sub-task payment — run the budget preflight against our enterprise-governance policy so we know if it's compliant before it proceeds.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.synthexforge.com/v1/budget/preflight?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to gate an agent's spending action against a declarative policy before committing to a paid operation — especially in multi-agent or automated workflow contexts where budget governance and auditability are required. Prefer this over ad-hoc balance checks when you have a structured policy object and need a signed, attestable compliance decision rather than a simple balance lookup.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed policy object returns a 4xx validation error
- Invalid agent_id format may cause rejection
- action_amount_usd exceeding policy limits returns ok: false rather than an error
- HTTP 402 payment-required if the $0.25 USDC preflight fee is not satisfied
- Network or service unavailability returns 5xx
- Expired or revoked policy may return authorization denial
