Summary of how your agents can pay for themselves using the x402 protocol:
- You give your agent a task
- The agent finds the tools it wants to use
- It sends a signed HTTP request
- The tool sends back an HTTP 402 “Payment Required” response
- The agent authorizes payment from a wallet in USDC on Base
- The tool runs and sends structured data back
- User receives the result
