v2.2.179-cloudflare-worker-origin-release-split / AgentCore payment handoff

Hand off to x402 payment without guessing the next step.

Give AgentCore-style buyers one safe handoff from discovery or OpenAPI import into ApexScout's no-spend x402 preparation steps before any buyer-controlled payment.

This is a free, no-spend guide. It does not execute payment, manage buyer wallets, or make a paid call.

Prepare $5 audit Use $0.01 tiny flow Score payment safety

Buyer approval boundary

  • Buyer wallet and approval stay on the buyer side.
  • The $0.01 route needs a cap of at least $0.01.
  • The $5 audit requires currentProblem and a cap of at least $5.00.
  • Stop after a successful paid response unless there is a new approval.

AgentCore-style buyer flow

Step 1 / free

Discover or import ApexScout

/api/agentcore-openapi.json

Load ApexScout's OpenAPI or MCP metadata and choose the intended route.

Step 2 / free

Fetch the no-spend Builder action pack

/api/agent-revenue-audit-builder/action-pack or /api/agent-commerce-scenarios

Fetch the Builder action pack for the $5 audit path, or read the scenario matrix to choose the right safe money path.

Step 3 / free

Confirm safety before payment

/buyer-agent-payment-safety

Check required fields, wallet cap, buyer approval, duplicate-payment risk, and metadata safety.

Step 4 / free

Run unpaid 402 preflight

/api/opportunity-check or /api/agent-revenue-audit

Send the same payload without payment first and inspect the returned x402 requirements.

Step 5 / free

Approve buyer-side spend

/agentcore-payments-policy

Require explicit operator approval and a wallet cap that matches the selected route.

Step 6 / buyer-controlled

Retry once with x402 payment

/api/opportunity-check or /api/agent-revenue-audit

Only the buyer-side wallet or payment manager creates the payment proof and retries the request.

Step 7 / free

Stop after paid response

/api/cash-register

If PAYMENT-RESPONSE is already present for the same approved attempt, do not retry automatically.

Command shape only

Do not run unless your wallet cap matches the selected route and your operator approves the spend.
