x402-endpoints Agent Action Preflight Clearance
x402
x402-endpoints Agent Action Preflight Clearance is a paid API for AI agents from x402-endpoints.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-03).
Evaluates a proposed agent action against a deterministic policy engine and returns a structured CLEAR/REVIEW/BLOCK verdict with risk score, reversibility analysis, and a signed clearance packet before the agent executes.

How this service works
Safety preflight before an agent runs a DESTRUCTIVE, costly or IRREVERSIBLE action (delete, deploy, transfer funds, publish, overwrite): risk assessment + reversibility check + timing + CLEAR/LIMIT/REVIEW/BLOCK verdict + a cryptographically SIGNED ClearancePacket (decision, approved amount, policy version, evidence hash, expiry, rationale) the agent keeps as proof of authorization. Agent action guardrail / clearance / human-in-the-loop gate; stops a mistake costlier than the call price.
Output
A JSON object containing a verdict (CLEAR, REVIEW, or BLOCK), a risk score (0-100), reversibility analysis (reversible, destructive, external effect), a financial band and approved amount, a human-readable rationale, a confidence score, expiry timestamp (TTL 300s), and a signed ed25519 clearance packet with evidence hash and policy version that the agent can pass downstream as proof of authorization.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I go ahead and transfer 250 USDC to 0xabc123... — can you run a preflight clearance check on that action, flag it as a 'transfer', and tell me if it's safe to proceed or needs human review?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-endpoints.onrender.com/agent/clearance?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent is about to take an irreversible, high-stakes, or externally-visible action (delete, transfer, deploy, send, publish) and needs a machine-readable, signed authorization verdict before proceeding. Prefer this over manual human review when you need a deterministic, policy-based preflight gate that returns a signed clearance packet with an evidence hash — especially for financial transfers, destructive database operations, or autonomous agent workflows where auditability and tamper-evident proof of authorization matters.
Side effects
- Missing required 'action' query parameter returns validation error
- Payment not received or USDC balance insufficient results in 402 response blocking access
- Ambiguous action description may result in conservative BLOCK or REVIEW verdict instead of CLEAR
- Clearance packet expires after 300 seconds — acting after TTL requires re-calling the endpoint
- Unsupported action_type enum value may cause inference fallback or error
- Network timeout on render.com cold start may delay response
