- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

The OpenRouter for AI-agent tools: one gateway, one wallet, every capability. Built-in tools, forged tools, a global verified business directory and 2,000+ aggregated x402 services, all paid per call in USDC via x402 (HTTP 402). No signup, no API key.
