How this service works
Pay-per-call JSON for AI agents: skill search, listing optimization, install plans, productization, and artifact risk scoring. HTTP 402 → USDC. Full skill marketplace on-site.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: a boolean safe_to_pay flag, a human-readable advice string, a verdict field (e.g. 'proceed'), a proceed boolean, a checks object with budget_ok, dual_rail, and accepts_count fields, and a reasons array listing any risk flags. An ok:true top-level flag confirms the check completed successfully.
Example use cases
Pre-payment safety gate for unknown API
“I found this new API on x402scan and my agent wants to call it, but before it spends any USDC I need you to run a merchant legit-gate check on it to make sure it's safe to pay and not a scam.”
Automated agent budget guard
“My AI agent is about to pay a pay-per-call tool it discovered, but I need a quick safety check first — verify the merchant passes the budget check, dual-rail test, and gets a safe_to_pay verdict before we proceed.”
Marketplace endpoint trust scoring
“I'm building an agent that auto-pays API calls it finds in the Vibes-Coded marketplace — can you run a legit-gate check on each endpoint before my agent settles payment, and only proceed if the verdict comes back clean?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://vibes-coded.com/api/v1/outcomes/merchant-legit-gate?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent is about to execute a USDC micropayment to an unknown or newly discovered x402 merchant and needs a pre-payment safety gate. Prefer it over manual review when operating autonomously in the Vibes-Coded marketplace or any x402-compatible ecosystem. It is particularly valuable when agents need automated, programmatic trust scoring before committing funds, especially in zero-trust or high-frequency payment workflows.
Side effects
- Merchant URL unreachable — endpoint may return ok:false with reasons listing connectivity failure
- Budget check fails — budget_ok returns false if payment would exceed configured limits
- Dual-rail check fails — dual_rail returns false if payment rails are not properly configured
- Low accepts_count — few prior accepts may indicate an untrusted or new merchant
- Ambiguous or missing merchant metadata — may result in a cautious non-proceed verdict
