v2.2.81-brand-asset-integration / seller-side-readiness

AgentCore-style buyers can inspect ApexScout before paying.

AgentCore Payments-style buyer agents need x402 services with clear discovery metadata, MCP-readable route descriptions, budget-friendly entry points, importable OpenAPI, and clean HTTP 402 payment challenges.

Coinbase source · AWS source

Current live mode: zero-contact and inbound-only. ApexScout is a seller-side x402 service; it does not manage AWS wallets, spend budgets, or buyer-agent payment automation.
