v2.2.107-audit-builder-recommended-first-action / AgentCore Payments buyer guide

Buy from ApexScout without guessing the payment path.

Explain how an AgentCore Payments-style buyer can inspect ApexScout, prepare a valid payload, and decide whether to run a buyer-controlled x402 payment.

Buyer budget facts

First paid route: $0.01.
$5 audit requires currentProblem and a wallet cap of at least $5.00.
ApexScout does not control buyer wallets or automate spend.

Step 1 / free

Inspect x402 proof

/x402-proof

Confirm ApexScout has working Base x402 proof and aggregate-only public metrics.

Step 2 / free

Import OpenAPI

/api/agentcore-openapi.json

Load ApexScout as an HTTP API target with explicit paid and free routes.

Step 3 / free

Open AgentCore payment handoff

/agentcore-payment-handoff

Choose the tiny proof path or the $5 Builder path before any buyer-controlled paid retry.

Step 4 / free

Read MCP and Bazaar readiness

/mcp-tool-pack

Confirm route names, prices, schemas, and MCP-compatible metadata.

Step 5 / free

Run no-spend request preparation

/agent-revenue-audit-builder

Build the $5 audit payload and catch missing currentProblem or wallet-cap issues before payment.

Step 6 / free

Score payment safety

/buyer-agent-payment-safety

Check route contract, amount, network, wallet cap, buyer approval, duplicate-payment risk, and metadata safety.

Step 7 / free

Run unpaid 402 preflight

/api/opportunity-check

Send an unpaid POST first and inspect the returned x402 requirements.

Step 8 / $0.01

Optional buyer-controlled paid retry

/api/opportunity-check

Only a buyer-controlled wallet should execute this, and only after explicit operator approval.

Step 9 / $5.00

Optional $5 audit after readiness

/api/agent-revenue-audit

Use only after the builder returns ready_to_pay and the buyer wallet cap is at least $5.00.
