How this service works
Audit any x402 merchant before you pay it. Live probe, price-drift detection, settlement history and on-chain payment verification.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a verdict (e.g. CAUTION, OK, RISKY), a list of human-readable reasons, and individual check flags: whether the endpoint emits 402, is reachable, has buyers, has price drift, and total on-chain USDC inflow over 30 days.
Example use cases
Pre-payment merchant safety check
“I found an x402 API at https://inference.coolstartup.com/v1/predict that charges per call — can you audit it and tell me if it's legitimate, reachable, and has real buyers before I integrate it?”
Detecting price drift before auto-payment
“My agent is about to pay https://datafeeds.example.com/prices automatically — first audit that x402 merchant and flag if the price has drifted from what it advertised.”
Vetting a new x402 service listing
“I saw https://api.newmerchant.xyz/summarize listed on an x402 directory — can you audit it and show me its on-chain USDC inflow and settlement history so I know if it's worth trusting?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://merchant-audit.clankerceo.workers.dev/merchant-riskWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent is about to make an x402 micropayment to an unfamiliar API and needs pre-flight risk assessment. Prefer this over blindly paying when the merchant is newly listed, has no reputation, or when automated agents need a programmatic go/no-go signal before spending USDC.
Side effects
- Target URL not reachable — endpoint may be offline or rate-limiting the probe
- No settlement data found — merchant listed but no 30-day activity, verdict likely CAUTION
- Invalid or non-HTTPS target URL returns validation error
- On-chain data unavailable — blockchain indexer lag may cause stale inflow figures
- Price drift detection may false-positive on legitimate tiered pricing
